I may be wrong, but I beleive hubs will cause slow down in longer lengths. Also, copper wouldn't allow that bandwidth.

The future of cables is definitely optical. I think Corning will be a major player in optical cables in the near future. Looks exciting!

I wonder why using glass instead of plastic. If it was a plastic cable it would probably cost $30 instead of $300.. I know plastic isn't as clear as glass and the signal will be weaker, maybe they couldn't get the brightness of the LED inside the ends of the cable to a high enough level to use plastic..

I knew linus stole my blackmagic

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

It's cool but the only practical uses I can think of for it right now would work just as well and be cheaper with plain old Cat5e/6. For storage a NAS makes more sense, for playing games in a seperate room in-home-streaming over Gigabit works pretty well. Even the idea of running a display off it you can grab HDMI -> Ethernet converter things which claim to be able to push a HDMI signal upto 50m or so. I see no immediate use for it.

 

That said, it's cool. I like that this sort of thing is becoming more consumer friendly. I also like the fact that maybe in ten years or so this sort of thing will be everywhere. At that point maybe instead of ~10Gbps being the ceiling for pretty much everything we might start talking about 100Gbps or more. Maybe from the other side of a building. In an average house. And that's fantastic.

Fools think they know everything, experts know they know nothing

I can't think of anything I'd be able to use a 30.5m USB cable for, but I still want it!

I would use this to have a very powerful gaming rig/media center in a different room and bring the usb and hdmi to the tv area to be able to play games in the living room while keeping the room silent.

I hope they can figure out a way to make this cheaper because that would be awesome for gaming media center pcs that you can store in a different room and still be able to plug things in where the TV is at.

I personally don't like using game streaming, I prefer to have the actual machine there to play games but I don't like the noise the pc makes while gaming.
