This is all I have managed to find out, as all info on these optical Thunderbolt cables seems to be under-wraps, and extremely difficult to come-by. Literally zero mainstream sales info is out there generally, for inexplicable reasons; you really have to hunt the info out, it's like they all want to keep them secret or something &/or have shite marketing/pr departments!? They certainly don't sell them to users very well, that's for sure.
Hope this helps someone anyway.
Wow! Great information - I appreciate you posting it
With respect to optical Thunderbolt cables used with Macs--specifically, the new Mac Pros--as long as there is little need for the operators to access the machine or a networked array of them, like for a render farm, they could be put in an environmentally-controlled cabinet (power and air conditioned, air filters, etc.), and the Thunderbolt cable could be run through the wall to the displays and keyboards.
Maybe to a HUB for USB or to the high cost apple display but I would have display and have usb on it's own USB channel / ports.
