Japanese scientists have set a world data transfer speed record.

The specialists managed to transmit data over 51.7 km at a speed of 1.02 Pbps. The speed of 1 Pbps makes it possible to broadcast 10 million video channels per second with a resolution of 8K. The new record is 100,000 times faster than today's maximum home internet speed. It is also interesting that such results were shown using a four-wire cable. Previously, speeds of 1 Pbps+ could only be achieved with a 15-core cable.
