Sorry, my other post must have been too brief.

In another thread shut down by Dale, this very site (allaboutcircuits) was used by him to reference wave guides. This particular page is 100% contrary to the side of the fence he was on in that thread.

Just saying. :cool:

Is the quoted web page wrong? i.e. is transmission speed purely down to electron coupling?

I do not see, how a 102nd can provide what 101 could not.
We do not comment other websites.
To restart a closed thread is against the rules.

If you have a very specific question which hasn't been addressed in the thread I linked to, then you can open another thread. This one will be closed.

Thank you for pointing out how bad of a reference this site is. The specific page that I referenced was decent, but indeed a lot of the other content is highly misleading. I will remove the reference from the other thread.
