I really don't like that you have two units in your title. A spool is a unit, although a crude one. Your title would be much easier to read if you had simply said, "Network cable can hold 1GB of internet traffic per meter."

TIL. Thought a spool was a word for rolled up cable.

No, you're right. It is, but your title was a little redundant.

Think of it this way. You could have said, "A planet of warehouses of pallets of spools of cable holds 1 GB per meter..." It's still a correct statement, but it's redundant. Any amount of cable holds 1 GB per meter. You don't need to say an amount at all.

Ah, but it needs to be rolled up, see.
