VOP is the abbreviation of Velocity Of Propagation.
The speed of light in a vacuum is 186,400 miles per second. This speed
is represented by the number “1” (also considered to be
100%). All other signals are slower. A coaxial cable with a VOP of
.85 would transmit a signal at 85 percent the speed of light in a
vacuum. A twisted pair cable, which typically has a lower VOP (such
as .65), would transmit a signal at 65 percent the speed of light.
