Apple lists mystery 3-meter "Pro" Thunderbolt 3 cables on Mac Pro specs sheet
These might be optical. Copper can only support 40Gbps over a short distance. Optical HDMI cables are already available, also because copper runs into trouble with the high bit-rates of 4K and beyond-- you can find them on Amazon.
Recall the original name for Thunderbolt was LightPeak. It has been a photonic idea for a long time.
If the 3m cables are not photonic, it's only a matter of time.
