But one company has another alternative: wires that are flat instead of round. The company is Southwire. It specializes in creating thin, flat wires and cables that you can glue to a wall and either paint over or coat with a concealing material to blend it into your wall. Once you've installed and concealed the FlatWire, you can have that clean, cable-free look that you see in the advertisements. Southwire currently offers several FlatWire products for audio, video, data and low-voltage wiring solutions. Future FlatWire products will include 120-volt alternating current (VAC) electrical wiring, HDMI cables and a cat-6 cable emulator. All of the products are flexible. Are about as thick as a sheet of paper. FlatWire comes in several different types. The speaker wire and low-voltage wire products look like a pair of copper strips encased in a transparent film. The other FlatWire products have narrower bands of copper encased in film. Depending on the wire's function, there may be one, two or three separate bands of copper. But USB has its limitations. The USB 2.0 standard transmits data at 480 megabits per second (Mbps). That's fast enough for accessories like keyboards. Mice to work smoothly but not fast enough for high-bandwidth accessories like computer monitors. Intel has its own answer to transferring data at high speeds using a standardized format. It's called Light Peak. Intel representatives say it has the potential to transmit data at more than 20 times the speed of USB 3.0. And as the name suggests, it will do this through the medium of light. At its most basic level, a fiber-optic cable is a glass tube with a reflective material coating the outer surface. If you shoot an intense beam of light down one end of a fiber-optic thread, the light will continue down the thread, bouncing along the inside until it emerges from the other side. If you turn the light off and on, you can communicate through a code. It's a high-tech approach to an old idea that dates back to signaling lanterns.
