Almost nothing. The line capacitance will never get charged. Not the
same in data cable though. If loads of 1's and 0's are going down the
wire at ten megabits per second (to say nothing of 10GE) then a stream of
loads of 1's will charge the line capacitance and thus teh first few
zero's at the end will get missed - hence stuff like bit interleaving etc.

10-Gig-E on copper? Jesus I hate to think. It's bad enough fiddling with
it on Fiber.
