Hi, i am currently trying to move my desktop pc into a separate room like Linus did in one of his videos. Setup Motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO (latest version 7B98v1D) Thunderbolt Card: Gigabyte GC-MAPLE RIDGE (rev. 1.0) Dock: Razer Thunderbolt™ 4 Dock Chroma Windows 10 Edu 64 Bit All the latest Thunderbolt driver to this date installed When I use the included cable from razer the dock works as expected. Displays and USB peripherals are all getting passed through the dock to the desktop pc. When I use the Corning cable only the displays are showing up and the razer dock isn’t lighting up (lights under the dock). So no USB peripherals or ethernet is being transmitted. I tried the dock on my notebook and with razer cable it works flawlessly. With the Corning cable I had some issues in the beginning but I got it work after some time. When I plugged in the cable one way it didn’t work so I switched the end and then I started lighting up and transmitting everything from display to usb peripherals. I ordered another dock from CalDigit to verify if it’s the docks fault or something else. Maybe it has something to do with some bios settings? Thanks for your help in advance Let me know if more information are needed Edit: added some more setup specs

Hi, I am currently looking for a compatible motherboard that works with a Thunderbolt add-in card and a Corning Thunderbolt cable. So far I tried multiple motherboards with multiple Thunderbolt add-in cards but I didn't get the Corning cable properly working under my desktop pc. With a normal copper cable I got the Dock working but with the Corning cable it only worked at random times. I tried the cable with a MacBook and it worked flawlessly. I could reboot or shutdown the MacBook and the cable would pick up the dock right away. Motherboards Asus TUF GAMING Z590-PLUS Asus ProART Z490 ASRock Z390 PRO4 Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ELITE MSI Z390-A Pro Thunderbolt add-in cards: ASUS ThunderboltEX 3-TR Gigabyte GC-TITAN RIDGE (rev. 2.0) Gigabyte GC-MAPLE RIDGE (rev. 1.0) Budget (including currency): - Other details I currently have an i9 10900k. I tried the z390 with an i9 9900k but the best result I had to far was with the 10900k and the TUF GAMING Z590-PLUS. It worked maybe 1 out 10 shutdowns. Does anyone know which motherboards that are being used in LTTs videos or can someone recommend a motherboard that works with a Corning Thunderbolt cable? In the video below they use the Asrock X570 AQUA but that would require a different CPU. In the video below I found out that they use the Asus Maximus XIII Hero (Socket 1200) Z590 but as I understood this motherboards only supports Best regards and thank you for your help

Hello! inspired by Linus Video about Thunderbolt 3 I went out and bought an Corning TB3 25m Cable and a Gigabyte Titan Ridge 2.0 Card which is compatible to my Motherboard which is a GIGABYTE Z690 UD DDR4. The Problem is the Card doesnt seem to be able to work with the Corning Cable. (With a normal Thunderbolt Cable it works just fine) Probably because the Card wants to do weird power delivery thru the Cable or something like that, I cannot really say why it technically doesnt want to work. Now before going out and buying a Motherboard for 500€ just for this one connector I wanted to ask here if there is a better Thunderbolt Card than the Titan Ridge 2.0 thats confirmed working with the Corning Cable or if any of you can save me with any other Idea >.< Thanks in advance a very frustrated Tatsu

Hello! I asked month ago for help related to getting the 25m Corning Thunderbold Cable to work with win11 and 12th gen Intel relating to addon cards. I want to detail my experience and way to making my setup work for future reference for anybody searching for this Topic because I had a Hard time getting anything to work. I first got a relatively cheap gigabyte board with TB support which I tested all the available thunderbolt addon cards(Titan ridge and maple ridge) with over weeks. Nothing worked I spent days tweaking the settings but it did not go anywhere. Next I wanted to give it a try with a Motherboard with direct support for TB so I bought the ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator WIFI and after that at the start not working again I gave myself another weekend to sink in and started searching for anything related to thunderbolt on google and that is where I found a post regarding a BIOS setting about IO Lanes which sometimes is set to 0 for no apparent reason. It turns out other the enabling the Thunderbolt discrete support I also had to go into the thunderbolt device settings and set the IO-Lanes reserved to 16. This is super wild and while I think I understand the settings I found exactly one reddit post mentioning it and that is what in the end helped. The Docking station NEEDS to be connected at boot otherwise I get weird things happening. Regarding to the docking station I tested the Lenovo ThinkPad Universal Thunderbolt 4 Dock, the Lenovo ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Dock and I am using the i-tec Thunderbolt 3 Dock right now. In theory every TB3 and TB4 Dock should work but I did not have the funds to test any more sadly. I can not really reccomend this for anybody without the specific need to use Thunderbolt especially since Linus showed some fiber optic extenders that work way more reliable and are not so bad documented. My setup is having 3 optical 25m display cables and the Thunderbolt Cable running from my closet, going thru a room at the top and in the end coming out of the wall to my room where I have 3 monitors (1440p, 165hz) I use with the optical Display cables and I use the Thunderbolt DP for my VR Headset.

Was watching Technology Connections Fiber vs. Copper; What do we really need? when he referenced this Linus Tech Tips video Corning 100ft USB3.Optical Cable I was thinking how great it would be to see an update to this video to see how the cable would stand up today versus modern day cables like UBC C (General term without having to go into all the different versions), Thunder Bolt, HDMI (General term without having to go into all the different versions), ect. to see which has the best quality, fastest speed, delay speed / latency ect. plus maybe a graph showing various specs differences.

Greetings, I'm a long-time LTT/LMG fan, and yet here I am just creating a forum account to post a request for a future LTT video topic. Feel free to crucify me if this is being posted in the wrong place. I received my HTC Vive a week ago, and my computer is currently in my dungeon of a bedroom in the basement of a townhouse. I was wondering if it was even possible to run one of Corning's Thunderbolt cables to a Thunderbolt dock on a different floor and have the Vive connected to just that dock. I think Asus's Thunderbolt support card can send Displayport from the Thunderbolt connection back into a discrete graphics card, though I'm not sure how much this impact's the Vive's latency. Obviously this would be quite expensive for an average joe to just test out, but it might be the solution I'm looking for. I just want to know if it would actually work without compromising the experience. Thanks!

This one's a real tough chimp to break Corning Incorporated today announced its latest breakthrough innovation in consumer electronics material design, the revolutionary Corning Gorilla Glass 4, which is up to two times tougher than any competitive cover glass design now in the market. The renovated design of the Gorilla Glass 4 shouldn't shatter when you drop your phone The newly formulated cover material is designed to survive collisions with rough surfaces, Corning is tackling that accident-related damage in earnest with Gorilla Glass 4 Gorilla Glass 4 is manufactured using Corning’s proprietary fusion draw process. It maintains the thinness, durability, and optical clarity for which Gorilla Glass is known, while dramatically improving drop performance. Corning scientists examined hundreds of broken devices and found that damage caused by sharp contact accounted for more than 70 percent of field failures. The scientists then developed "new drop-test" methods <_< that simulate real-world break events, based on thousands of hours analyzing cover glass that had broken in the field or laboratory. While conventional soda-lime glass will always break if you drop it from a meter (3.3 feet) above the ground, Gorilla Glass 4 will remain intact 80 percent of the time. Scientists used the new methods to drop devices face down from one meter, such that the cover glass directly contacted a rough surface. They found: Gorilla Glass 4 is up to two times tougher than competitive glasses Gorilla Glass 4 survives up to 80 percent of the time Soda-lime glass, as deployed in today’s commercial devices, breaks nearly 100% of the time. Corning says it's already sending out test samples and shipments for the new glass @OriginalPromise, oh look it's your favorite samsung phone..DUN DUN DUN.. Here's a Brief Specs listing: Dimensions Available thicknesses 0.4 mm - 2.0 mm Applications Ideal protective cover for electronic displays in:Smartphones, Laptop and tablet computer screens, Mobile devices , Touchscreen devices , Optical components , High strength glass articles Chemical Strengthening Depth of Layer ³ 90 µm Compressive stress 850 MPa @ 90 µm DOL Optical Refractive Index (590 nm) Core glass - 1.49 Compression layer - 1.51 Photo-elastic constant 30.3 nm/cm/MPa Properties Density 2.42 g/cm Fracture Toughness 0.67 MPa m^5 Benefits Enhanced retained strength after use High resistance to scratch and sharp contact damage Improved drop performance Superior surface quality Corning GG 4 has been tested for performance when subjected to sharp contact damage, such as asphalt and other real-world surfaces Looks like future Mobile device screens are going to be more resiliant to scratches & cracks , What are your thoughts on this?

Time is reporting that, in contrast to the many rumors (and GTAT investor claims), Apple had never planned to use sapphire displays for the iPhone 6, and the company may not use it for future iPhones. The first is that the strength of sapphire has been largely misunderstood. Yes, it’s very resistant to scratches, but it’s actually more vulnerable than Gorilla Glass to being smashed when dropped – and even the invisible scratches a phone can get when carried in pockets can lead to failure. Sapphire is also denser than glass, making it heavier, and bulkier – neither good things when your aim is to make a phone as thin and light as possible. Battery life, surprisingly, was also a key consideration. Sapphire transmits less light than glass, requiring more powerful backlighting to deliver the same display brightness. The all-in cost of using a sapphire display is also much higher than some had estimated. The material cost is around ten times that of Gorilla Glass, and it’s claimed associated costs could add as much as $100 to the cost of an iPhone. Finally, for a company which prides itself on its environmental credentials, Apple may have felt some discomfort over the amount of energy required to manufacture sapphire: more than 100 times that of the same quantity of glass Most of these arguments would also apply to the use of sapphire in the Apple Watch, but the much smaller surface area means that cost is less of a factor – and scratch-resistance is more important than protection against drops in a device that spends most of the day securely attached to your wrist. I was pretty excited for the Sapphire Display, but I guess these reasons are enough to justify why they didn't do it.
