Fiber vs. Copper; What do we really need?

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.

The whole 100ft USB cable thing is going to be about the same most likely.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

great video btw, I also watched it today. Linus was talking about his personal gaming set up on the last wan show and has some videos about it where he uses a fiber thunderbolt cable, and was having some issues with the fragile connector.

He also used it on a VR project that used a single fiber cable connected to the PC.
