What DisplayPort optical cable does Linus use to keep his PCs in the server rack?

Does anybody know what optical DisplayPort cable that Linus uses to keep his PCs in his server rack?

 

I also saw he did a video on the Corning Thunderbolt 3 optical cable which sounds great (but EXPENSIVE), but I've been reading about a lot of problems with it so I'm leaning towards an optical DisplayPort and optical USB 3.x cable.

Isn't he not using an optical Thunderbolt/PCIE cable and a docking station to connect his display? 

People never go out of business.

Not anymore. When he revealed Corning cables and Caldigit dock, he was using eGPU and connecting that with optical TB. But in new house moving vlogs it's seen and said that TB only carries USB. DP is done with separate cable. None of the basic searches brought up video that would show when and how change was made.

That seems to confirm my research about the Corning cables not working in many situations...

 

I'd love to find out the model of DP cable he uses though.
