@fridaycaliforniaa236 3 года назад

Fun fact, everytime you had a corner in an optical cable, it slows down the speed of the signal. 50 meters of straight line is faster than 50 meters of "rolled" optical cable (because the light has to bounce on the walls of the core of the cable. It never moves in a perfect straight line inside the cable. (I learnt this in ground military equipment maintenance classes).

@sparkequinox 2 года назад

Technically, this does increase the path length of the light, but at the literal speed of light there will be no difference in a way that matters here. The only true importance in rolls of fibre is ensuring not to exceed the minimum bend radius (and ensuring the light remains inside the medium).

Well, it is, just not when it's constantly being absorbed and retransmitted through solid matter so much. Shoot that light through a vacuum tube and you can add a smidgeon under another 25 metres to that maximum range. Although vacuum on Earth isn't quite as practical a medium as glass fibres.

I've had the 25m Corning TB3 cable here for several months now so I can run two music production DAW rigs both downstairs and upstairs - all connected to a single Mac mini downstairs. Its so great not to be able to hear the fan when using the upstairs rig over optical. I use the Caldigit TB3 interface upstairs connected to optical and for a while was using another Caldigit downstairs connected directly to the Mac mini (2018). Thankfully everything ... just works. :) I have a 2560 x 1600 DELL monitor upstairs and an LG 3480 x 1600 downstairs. I also run all the audio and USB2/3 feeds over the optical for DAW use and all works fine. This wasn't cheap - costing over £400 but worth it. I had been trying a cat7 gigabit ethernet solution for this - But when doing 4k displays etc plus USB2 and audio - the solution - using DANTE, switches and special KWM type boxes just didn't work -was messy and id have had to move to 10gbe switches at which point everything becomes more expensive. Optical plus Caldigit solved the issue simply.

This was literally EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wanted to see if an optical thunderbolt 3 cable could handle a heavy use case of monitors and peripherals so I could have my computer in another room to reduce heat. As I was watching the video I was thinking "I'd feel a lot more confident if he showed off an external GPU running on it" since I know just how short of a connection those require. Then boom, he shows exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you Linus! You made my decision very easy. An external GPU is probably the most intensive thing thunderbolt 3 could do, showing that off basically gives a big check mark to any other stress test I could think of. This might be the most influential video I've seen because with this one video showing the durability, bandwidth, and latency of the cable, I'm ready to drop the 400 bucks on one. Corning should use this video on their website because no text or reviews I could read would ever do justice even close to this video.

@cocoyete 3 года назад

I worked for Corning years ago, great great company....I left Corning to pursue a different career path, so cool to see how far they have moved in regards to bendable fiber with consumer proof abuse. Bending fiber like this was simply impossible in the past. Linus, great video...I wish you could have talked more about what this type of technology could bring in the future. Corning is usually ahead of the game, just like Gorilla glass; it was originally used for the automotive industry (windshields) back in the 50s, and although the formula was there, it took Corning years to find a market that would mass use it (phone and TV manufacturers) to allow investing in mass production technology to lower production cost. Just like Gorilla glass, to certain degree, I think the bottleneck is today's thunderbolt's design and specs and not the optical cable itself. Watching your video makes me think of the bandwidth that was used 10 years ago in all aspects (LAN, WAN, Video, GSM, etc), now think of the bandwidth that will be required 10 years from now....I can imagine 8k (maybe higher) video in all TVs, mobile phones, professional cameras, etc. It would be super awesome to have a home network switch connected to a Thunderbolt NAS (forget RJ45), plus a GPU that can be shared though the home network to multiple computers, this would allow you to use standard laptops/computers to edit 8k video, how about streaming 8k video from the NAS to different TVs/projectors simultaneously...all with the exact same standard (thunderbolt) vs today (RJ45 for network, HDMI for video, USB for peripherals, etc). These are a few examples I can think of for home use, now imagine what can be done for business applications. If thunderbolt technology aligns with what the market needs in the future in regards to bandwidth + one plug&play solution for a wide variety of devices, it could very well allow Corning to invest in a mass production process that would drive the cost way down. Wouldn't it be great to have a single connector type/standard that you could use to hook up your SSDs (internal or external), monitors, network, shared GPU, mobile phones, professional cameras etc??? I know today's optical thunderbolt does not provide power, but who knows 2//3/5/10 years from now, thunderbolt "x" could have two standards (Powered thunderbolt and unpowered thunderbolt) both using fiber optic to maintain bandwidth capabilities....just do some research, years ago there was a fiber optic cable that had a wire in the assembly.

Practical Use: I recently purchased a Vive Eye VR headset with WiGig Wireless, which requires that the computer be near the play area for wireless connectivity. But I also use my computer in my office across the house, and need dual monitors to work. Corning 50m cable and a thunderbolt 3 hub was the perfect solution with no performance hit. I have had no issues and love the setup, both for VR work and Office computer work flawlessly. I am blown away at this cables ability to function it does not make sense to me. This cable defies logic! Probably could have built a whole new PC for the cost though.

I've been waiting for this. My next upgrade will make use of this for sure as I have a very similar setup to Linus. My workstation PC is built in a 4U case that lives in a server rack in the closet of the adjacent room to my office. It powers two separate workstations for myself and my business partner in a multiseat configuration with the help of Aster V7. Two 35FT HDMI cables run to my partner's workstation and two 25FT plus one 25FT DP cable run to my workstation. Then an active USB extension cable runs to a hub at my workstation, and daisychains over to another USB hub at my partner's workstation. So that's five video cables plus a USB cable which I frequently have problems with because of the cable length and hub chaining. Corning will now allow me to simply run one of each of these optical cables to each workstation with an E-GPU and be done with it. Excited for that upgrade.

Truth is, USB over fiber has been around for quite a bit. Mostly boxes, though: www.markertek.com/category/usb-over-fiber-extenders This is the first time I am seeing a such a small system that puts everything in such as small case for a reasonable price (the boxes usually cost just as much, but are compatible with regular fiber components...)

@thosediamonddreams 3 года назад

Great video. I think you guys should consider making a video on solutions for longform HDMI 2.1 cables, or another solution, as myself and others have had a really hard time finding a long HDMI 2.1 cable that reliably does 4k@120hz over 30ft (9 meters) without dropping. Most of them don't even do 4k @120hz as advertised. It took me 4 tries to a 55' that worked but ideally I need a 65' and I don't want to risk another $200 on a stinker. I was even out of $150 cause of one I bought months prior to getting my 3080, which didn't work and was well passed the return period. Sigh. Thanks you guys for all that you do!

@Nathan-pl7rg 3 года назад

In regards to what was said at 12:22. Light traveling in fiberoptics can in fact be affected by magnetic interference. I work in Fiber optic telecommunications , and while its very rare to occur, it takes something like a lightning strike on OPGW cable for it to matter. in telco its called a transient event. while most physicists would refer to it as the Faraday Effect. it is mitigated a bit by the electronics, though specific timings and hold off timers. high end fiber optic systems that you would see in massive DWDM networks will have specific hardware deployed where OPGW cable is used in outside plant. A fun video to watch is the "Cosmos" Episode that talks about Faraday, it has a bit of history in it that helps understand this effect.

I think corning should add a couple copper threads in the cable solely for the purpose of transferring power. the data will still be protected from radio interference, but the cable would be usable for a lot more general-purpose things if needed. As storage drives get faster, being able to plug them directly into that high-speed cable could prevent some bottlenecks with adapters to add power to the other end
