Purchase optic cable designed to connect peripheral devices via interface Thunderbolt 2 may cost a round sum, especially if there is a need for the product lengths. So, for the 10-meter long cable will put at least $ 320, a 20-meter will cost $ 620, and a 30-meter, which offer recently the company Other World Computing, will cost $ 899.
It is interesting that at CES 2014 manufacturers, specializing in computer peripherals for Apple, showed optic cable length of about 60 meters, which can transfer data at speeds up to 20 Gbit / s. Also, there are 100-meter cables, however, they have limited speed of 10 Gbit / s. The price of products such length is not specified.
Thunderbolt interface allows the use of relatively cheap copper cables and optical. The latter are able to transmit data at a greater distance, although there are quite a lot. Related Products :
