Whats the association with bandwidth, and throughput in Ethernet cabling?

This feels like one of those questions that feels like it’s supremely simple knowledge, yet I cannot seem to figure it out.
As a quick example, CAT6a has a data throughput of 10gbps, and a bandwidth of 500mhz, data throughput is rather simple to comprehend, it can send 10gbps, and no more. But bandwidth? Can you use it to calculate latency of a cable of a given length? Can you use it to calculate the maximum endpoints?

A funnel or faucet has a spout diameter (bandwidth) of 500MHz. Because of this, it can handle up to 10 gallons per second (10Gbps).
