Does anyone have a STEP by STEP to replicate his setup? if I connect to a dock from my pc via Thunderbolt ,….how does it know to use my video card?
Linus if they add copper wires for power it will make it more useful
Woah, glad to see my a product from my hometown being reviewed. From Corning, NY cheers!
Gonna be late to the party here but you guy should cover Oculink and weather it has a a future.
Legit thought it was blurred pp
JAV be like
Anyone know what hubs work with this?
I am so confused why you would use this over literally any existing option.
for anything in the same room, copper is going to be able to carry the same bandwidth. and do it for less than 1/10 the price. For anything in a different room, traditional single mode fiber will do the job. again, for 1/10 the price…
EDIT: hell, it looks like Cisco 100 Gb/s MMF transceivers can be had for $100 these days…. instead of a $500 cable to cover 50 meters at 40 Gb/s, you could spend $200 in transceivers and $30 in MMF cable to cover twice the distance with 2.5 times the bandwidth….
very blurry office 🙂
Pure fi recently released a similar product, offering 10 meters for 200$
Technically speaking, power CAN be transmitted over fiber. PoF has been around for a while and can simultaneously transmit data (something I advocate we, as a civilization, start utilizing now so we can piggyback off the internet and instantly have a global super grid) it’s just that commercial and retail products aren’t built for PoF
Where the video of making this work from the desktop?
I got it working on my laptop.
My asus proart b550 desktop thunderbolt sees the dock but says it's not connected.
I just want hdmi 2.1 from my gaming rig in office to my theater. With usb input also
This should be the solution but so far no luck
Will try another dock but then giving up. Ugh
So I just need a 400 dollar cable and then a 200 dollar hub to which I can then put my computer a couple 100 feet away. Sounds good. So I pay twice for my work station. I hope the price comes down in the next couple of years as I would like to run cable like this in my new house to the server room.
I was like sweet going to get me one. Then he said 400 dollars.
now we need the TB4 or USB4 version of this 🙁
Would your motherboard have to have the thunderbolt connection or could you use a thunderbolt 4 pcie card to use a display in another room? My motherboard doesnt have thunderbolt but it does have 40gbs type c would that work?
And now we have Thunderbolt 4 with 5 on the way. That was fast.
Bro how big is your company?
in Linus original implementation of this in his house could this one cable run two monitors at 4k 60hz with just the one DP pass through coming out the graphics card and in to the motherboard?
What Thunderbolt dock is recommended for use with this optical cable that does high refresh rate with 1 4k screen?
So has corning honestly solved the overheating problem? My current corning TB2 cable is dying (the last of a long line of expensive self-immolation) I'm hesitant to go with Corning but the other options have zero reviews/testing.
You realize the cable doesn't get any longer the further away the GPU gets from the display. The signal is still traveling the same distance whether the cable is coiled next to the computer or whether you're down the hall, down stairs and around the corner with it uncoiled. I respect the effort and like the dramatization though haha!
Latency and FPS impact!?
Any competitive gamers here who’ve tried this?? I’m seriously considering this. latency and fps is a major priority for me. For anyone who’ve tried this, what’s the performance difference between a short (1.5m) DisplayPort 1.4 cable, connected directly to a monitor, and this 25m optical thunderbolt cable, whether it’s connected to;
(a) a thunderbolt capable monitor
or
(b) a powered thunderbolt hub with a DisplayPort 1.4 socket on it (like the caldigit TS4).
3:34 did you break the $400 cable???
does it work with thunderbolt 4?
Isn't this the same cable occlus uses
So there is no possibility of having a thunderbolt 4 optical cable??
Can't help that three of those six fibre optic cables in there are RGB…
Looking to run my wife's and my pcs in another room with these cables. Anyone know a good TB3 dock that will support a Samsung G9? We're good with 120hz since 240 sucks on this monitor anyway.
