Throughput and speed of data transmission cables

Question

What are throughput and speed limiting factors in an ethernet or any other type of cable which is used for data transmission?

This question is rather broad and the answer depends on how much theory you already know; but the short answer is "Shannon-Harley theorem" also known as the "Shannon limit". — pjc50, Oct 26 '15 at 13:57
@pjc50 - I assume you mean Shannon–HarTley theorem. Maybe upgrade that, with an explanation, to an answer? — gbulmer, Oct 26 '15 at 16:32

See this article: -

Taken from here and note that it doesn't just apply to coaxial cable - skin effect and dielectric losses are a real problem for all cables wishing to relay signals at high frequencies.
