could be used for remote capture, either setting up a computer based sound studio, or capturing game play and audio from a remote location. thus you could use a non silent computer to capture and stream without needing it sitting next to you ruining your audio.

I can't think of an use for it. Exept to silence my PC or have it outside in winter for better temps. But a 300$ thin cabel is bit much versus remote control over LAN.

How is the input lag? Seeing that signal must travel from keyobard & mouse 100ft to PC then 100ft back to monitor.

Can this go faster than 10Gbps Ethernet?

No, it can only utilize the speed of USB 3.0 which is 5Gbps or 640 Mbps.

This is insanely cool but useless for me cable. If only this idea became mainstream

What was the hub setup like? Doesn't a USB to 1.2 DP adapter also cost like 75 to 100 dollars? How did the hub / converter contribute to any perceived screen lagging?

This is basically what we've been doing in pro video for 5 years now. I think the USB and Thunderbolt over fiber would be awesome if they have neutrik optical connections so you can tie it into professional optical cables.

This cable is for when linus want to transfer data from his computer to his lambo in the back ally.  :P

I would want a cable like this however I would 

 

How does he run input image from graphics card through a USB?

I think he uses a hub that has a DVI or HDMI connection and couple USB connection for the mouse keyboard and other peripherals.

I totally get the excitement here. Is it practical? No? But is it fiber? Yes. Just like with internet, if I could practically replace every external point-to-point connection on all my electronics with fiber optics, I would. Optics are a step for digitial communication across any distance that feels way overdue (even though we're probably only just now getting materials reasonable enough for home use).

How do I change my NCIX link or my Amazon link so they will get a kick back?

I don't get it how can a fiber cable be more durable than copper?

Also @Linus I still don't understand what this would be useful for.

so first you have a server in the bathroom.....

then you have a computer on a kitchen top stove....

 

what's next? a watercooled workstation in the sink?

LOL that actually seems like a good idea, just always have the sink poring onto the pc and all the hot water will just drain down.  Seems legit.

Careful Linus, don't fall off the roof!

Whenever I work on a roof, I recommend wearing socks and sandals. Definitely the safest footwear for the job.

As Linus already implicitly stated, this is less about the product and more about the technological leap in the right direction. As a consumer product, this isn't going to tick many people's boxes. It's expensive and kind of niche. That said, the fact that this has even gone on sale is a good way of getting other more reputable manufacturers (with much deeper pockets) to sit up and take notice; hopefully, this would lead to these firms trying something of their own design and improving upon what Corning have already achieved. Who knows where it can go from there?

Personally, I'm all about the wireless transmission. I can't wait for wireless data to reach a standard that competes with wired solutions (and I really don't think that'll be too long given the progress made over the past decade). It would change society forever. In particular, I'm an even bigger fan of wireless electricity. I can deal with little USB cables running a couple of feet here and there but extension cords and power cables really rustle my jimmies. My rig is just a horrible mess, even with some basic cable management in play. I just HATE power cables. The things I would do to be able to get rid of all those wires are best left unspoke.

 

Just imagine the possibilities of a world WITHOUT cables. I mean, sure, how great would it be to have your entire rig running without tangles of wires between your monitors/machine and their respective sockets? Or, similarly, imagine not having video cables running between the monitors and the machine. There's so many other uses out there though. What about (effectively) delay-free peripherals? Think how great it would be to have a wireless gaming mouse that can operate with the same responsiveness as a wired model, or headphones that receive high quality sound without noticeable degradation or delay. Imagine what it would be like to be able to just plonk your router down somewhere convenient, without having to be near a power outlet or the phone line. You could find the optimal place in order to get the best signal in your house/business in minutes or less. Imagine being able to get in your car with your phone in your pocket and getting out again with a fully charged phone that's also backed itself up to the cloud while you were driving. Hell, what about jumpstarting your car? They could probably figure out a way to jump it without needing actual jumper leads. If (more like when) they pull this off, it will be a game-changing day indeed. To compete this technological trifecta, it would be nice if they also plunged more funding into battery technology too. Let's face it; Li-ion is so outdated now.

Sorry. This episode has just made me geek out about the future again. Dammit.

Decided to tweet Corning, you never know but would be cool for Linus to test out the Thunderbolt cable.
