new","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":254.36,"end_s":263.199,"text":"jacket all right so let's go ahead we're going to unplug our Thunderbolt GPU

at","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.56,"end_s":282.0,"text":"home and I think it might not and I'm going to go get the rest of what we need","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.8,"end_s":286.08,"text":"so another Hub another jackary and uh I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":282.0,"end_s":288.08,"text":"will be right back ye I believe what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":286.08,"end_s":292.72,"text":"we've done here is supposed to work now something to note is that external gpus","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":290.68,"end_s":298.84,"text":"are really not supposed to be hooked up through a hub at all let","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":295.0,"end_s":301.52,"text":"alone five hubs we have no idea if this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.84,"end_s":307.919,"text":"is going to work at all let alone well oh hi there Hi Neighbor howdy neighbor","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":304.919,"end_s":311.36,"text":"would you like a graphics card I would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":307.919,"end_s":313.56,"text":"um and a Cable cable and a jackary oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":311.36,"end_s":316.84,"text":"right um well here should I just come for a little ride with you you're just","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":315.52,"end_s":325.639,"text":"going to ride on the cart yeah yeah I was just going to and I'll tow you scoot it no five bucks say I Biff with this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":321.52,"end_s":329.6,"text":"3080 ti ti ti that's something","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":325.639,"end_s":329.6,"text":"one-handed let me tell you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":331.88,"end_s":336.52,"text":"okay we got the 380 TI Linus is I think","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":334.919,"end_s":340.319,"text":"scoot scooting the jackary and stuff over really we should have handed it over the fence I don't know what we were","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":338.96,"end_s":345.919,"text":"thinking in the meantime we can spool out this cable straight down the

line oh oh no there's one more","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":350.759,"end_s":357.56,"text":"winding okay that's another 50 m uh the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":355.56,"end_s":364.68,"text":"building we're going to is just the next complex to the right there and it's unit","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":359.12,"end_s":367.84,"text":"120 120 yeah okay uh oh I totally need a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":364.68,"end_s":371.52,"text":"oh even better I needed both of these","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":367.84,"end_s":373.8,"text":"things thunderboard dock is powered oh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":371.52,"end_s":377.479,"text":"boy it's barbed wire no way I'm aiming for that spot","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":376.68,"end_s":381.68,"text":"right there what what could go wrong yvon's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.28,"end_s":386.039,"text":"going to kill me now that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":383.8,"end_s":389.24,"text":"interesting oh I think our performance is actually better this time around I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":387.599,"end_s":393.28,"text":"think it might have just been the driver being kind of like bugged out from the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":391.28,"end_s":399.24,"text":"sudden disconnection before it's starting to rain so this is my genius","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":395.759,"end_s":404.599,"text":"idea uh we'll just put a Rubbermaid bin","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":399.24,"end_s":406.52,"text":"on top of garbage bags um 55 FPS so wait","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":404.599,"end_s":409.96,"text":"no that's worse again I didn't see any weird stuttering or anything in the game","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":408.36,"end_s":414.12,"text":"playay the performance is a little bit worse it seems like we're losing there's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":411.72,"end_s":419.68,"text":"a little bit of overhead with each of our hubs that we're going","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":417.0,"end_s":424.599,"text":"through man you know as much as it might not be as good performance as you would","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":421.56,"end_s":426.96,"text":"expect from a 380 TI it's sure as heck","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":424.599,"end_s":430.36,"text":"running if our display and our peripherals were at the other end right","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":428.96,"end_s":435.4,"text":"so the computer's got a Thunderbolt connection and we're gaming over on that","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":432.44,"end_s":440.0,"text":"side the run is 100 m but actually it has to go round trip okay so you got","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":437.639,"end_s":443.4,"text":"your PCI Express run going to your GPU over there and then the GPU actually has","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":441.759,"end_s":448.759,"text":"to send back the DisplayPort information all the way back to us here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":445.36,"end_s":450.039,"text":"so it's going 200 M you guys are good to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":448.759,"end_s":454.199,"text":"unplug okay here we go so unplug that yep you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":452.84,"end_s":459.56,"text":"want to handle carrying the graphics card M this is our third 50 m cable okay","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.479,"end_s":467.159,"text":"we're just going to plug it in willy-nilly keep it kind","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":462.319,"end_s":469.56,"text":"of Y yep yep mhm MH oh jeez","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":467.159,"end_s":474.4,"text":"mhm fiber optics don't mind being run over right we're going to just drive","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":471.68,"end_s":478.08,"text":"over the fiber optic there okay give it a couple seconds here but the you should","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":476.0,"end_s":482.44,"text":"see the GPU real soon let's try and make make this faster","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":480.12,"end_s":488.039,"text":"we can run the next line while we wait sorry about the Landscaping uh those are","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":484.72,"end_s":489.479,"text":"roses ow ow okay we're in unit 120","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":488.039,"end_s":493.56,"text":"apparently I have no idea where that is do you know where unit 120 is which","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":491.319,"end_s":498.759,"text":"address are you talking uh I can find out what address is unit 120 located","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":499.44,"end_s":505.68,"text":"in this is very interesting I managed to launch the game but I haven't made it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":503.479,"end_s":509.639,"text":"past the splash screen ooh we're hitting a limitation how close are you guys

get","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":515.159,"end_s":521.44,"text":"this sorted out on my side still no information on which building I need to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":518.36,"end_s":522.8,"text":"go to classic lus the NVIDIA GPU is not","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":521.44,"end_s":525.72,"text":"showing up I'm going to give the system a quick restart and see if it pops up","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":524.56,"end_s":529.92,"text":"but you might want to give me an unplug and replug okay I'll walk back to it now","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":528.72,"end_s":535.56,"text":"how sure are you that you're plugged into the correct ports on the Razer

it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":637.0,"end_s":643.68,"text":"off on on again and clearly it also turns yours off and on again no GPU what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":641.959,"end_s":648.0,"text":"do you think Colin can we maybe try to at least plug in a USB drive at the

things are crazy cool they'll do 40 gbit pers second to distances as long as 50 m and they're so durable that you can tie them in knots and pull on them like this without them breaking 50 m i mean that's pretty far but Thunderbolt allows you to daisy chain multiple docks and peripherals to achieve distances much much further we have got six spools of 50 m Thunderbolt cables and we are going to be h up this GPU almost 1,000 ft away from our computer that's right I'm going to show you guys the new unit where we're going to be doing some more of our benchmarking and testing and we're going to run the cable all the way there and it's sponsored by NZ xt's build so naturally we're going to be using one of their gaming PCs as our source except obviously we're going to want to rip that 380 TI out put it in an external enclosure and then go for a little walk here obviously before we go off adventuring we want to get a baseline for what kind of performance we would expect running a normal just 3ft copper cable from our Thunderbolt port to our GPU here so we're going to go ahead and fire up shadow of the Tomb Raider I'm running at the highest settings 1440p exclusive full screen with motion blur disabled oh come on all right 60 FPS average now let's see what happens when we take it somewhere else David do we want to jump the fence or do we want to like go around or what jump the fence baby you want to jump the fence all right let's jump the fence baby in that case I'm going to put the 3080 TI down these zippers better hold up oh crap I'm having too much fun already you need me to hold hold one in here yeah go ahead and plug it in hopefully our neighbors don't like trip over this I hope this works I only tested it with two cables ow ow ow ow stop oh my God this fence is barbed wire David oh no they're backing their truck in long story we need to run a cable all the way from this building to one over there you're backing in now right and then are you guys done for the day oh boy if I got it out of your way now then would be be be good after that probably Hey look it's Brian oh you're good to plug in over we're plugged in I will go plug in the GPU why don't you come back and fire up Tomb Raider where'd it go oh we're going to make it sure well no I'm not entirely confident because the thing about Thunderbolt it requires very very tight tolerances in terms of latency at 300 M we are approaching the point where even at the speed of light that is a non-negligible amount of latency for something like a high performance graphics card so I'm hoping we will make it the full 350 M but this is by no means a guarantee I actually lied a little because you don't need both a hub and the GPU at one node at a time so we only need one of these at a time we only need one of these at a time yeah that's fine we'll test 50 m first okay so is this is this thing on hello oh yeah yeah the RGB's on okay oh man these hikes back and forth are going to get pretty stupid that's a long way around uh we got the spol let's go we got a blue screen on the computer so I'm just um restarting it okay good luck I unplugged it while the game was running and I think it just got a little confused we are off to a real good start here ooh that's very interesting we've dropped 15% of our performance already wow okay uh come grab this cable then 15% is that because of the raw distance is it because of the signal translation that's happening to confirm to Optical and then back will it get worse I feel like Ned Flanders just oh oh hi there hi oh I see you there's a Thunderbolt glory hole going on over here yeah yeah my poor new jacket all right so let's go ahead we're going to unplug our Thunderbolt GPU plug in our first Thunderbolt dock which is acting as a hey Colin hi razor in their Infinite Wisdom doesn't label this bloody thing does this one support daisy chaining I think so let's double check that cuz I actually use one of these at home and I think it might not and I'm going to go get the rest of what we need so another Hub another jackary and uh I will be right back ye I believe what we've done here is supposed to work now something to note is that external gpus are really not supposed to be hooked up through a hub at all let alone five hubs we have no idea if this is going to work at all let alone well oh hi there Hi Neighbor howdy neighbor would you like a graphics card I would um and a Cable cable and a jackary oh right um well here should I just come for a little ride with you you're just going to ride on the cart yeah yeah I was just going to and I'll tow you scoot it no five bucks say I Biff with this 3080 ti ti ti that's something one-handed let me tell you okay we got the 380 TI Linus is I think scoot scooting the jackary and stuff over really we should have handed it over the fence I don't know what we were thinking in the meantime we can spool out this cable straight down the parking lot see see how much further we can get this line oh oh no there's one more winding okay that's another 50 m uh the building we're going to is just the next complex to the right there and it's unit 120 120 yeah okay uh oh I totally need a oh even better I needed both of these things thunderboard dock is powered oh boy it's barbed wire no way I'm aiming for that spot right there what what could go wrong yvon's going to kill me now that's interesting oh I think our performance is actually better this time around I think it might have just been the driver being kind of like bugged out from the sudden disconnection before it's starting to rain so this is my genius idea uh we'll just put a Rubbermaid bin on top of garbage bags um 55 FPS so wait no that's worse again I didn't see any weird stuttering or anything in the game playay the performance is a little bit worse it seems like we're losing there's a little bit of overhead with each of our hubs that we're going through man you know as much as it might not be as good performance as you would expect from a 380 TI it's sure as heck running if our display and our peripherals were at the other end right so the computer's got a Thunderbolt connection and we're gaming over on that side the run is 100 m but actually it has to go round trip okay so you got your PCI Express run going to your GPU over there and then the GPU actually has to send back the DisplayPort information all the way back to us here so it's going 200 M you guys are good to unplug okay here we go so unplug that yep you want to handle carrying the graphics card M this is our third 50 m cable okay we're just going to plug it in willy-nilly keep it kind of Y yep yep mhm MH oh jeez mhm fiber optics don't mind being run over right we're going to just drive over the fiber optic there okay give it a couple seconds here but the you should see the GPU real soon let's try and make make this faster we can run the next line while we wait sorry about the Landscaping uh those are roses ow ow okay we're in unit 120 apparently I have no idea where that is do you know where unit 120 is which address are you talking uh I can find out what address is unit 120 located in this is very interesting I managed to launch the game but I haven't made it past the splash screen ooh we're hitting a limitation how close are you guys to the new office I don't know which building we're in I see the problem it launched with the wrong GPU let me see if I can get this sorted out on my side still no information on which building I need to go to classic lus the NVIDIA GPU is not showing up I'm going to give the system a quick restart and see if it pops up but you might want to give me an unplug and replug okay I'll walk back to it now how sure are you that you're plugged into the correct ports on the Razer one the input is the one on the front oh then I'm definitely not plugged in the right one okay so we're in the front Port now I think at the back it doesn't matter okay I want to make it very clear and this is not just because Corning sent us a bunch of their Thunderbolt cables this is far beyond what is reasonable for this spec we just want to see the limits I got no GPU showing up yet okay I just unplugged and replugged it it's still not showing up do you want to try the same port that I did already it's that building right there the the middle one or the right one right the one with the red oning there okay said it was down the right side is it showing up at all I'm like kind of worried that the cable got mushed when someone drove over it wait Colin can you hear me I'm expecting he's going to team call me y there it is my walkie-talkie battery died a shocker okay someone myself included and some other guy drove over the cable so hopefully it's still intact I think it'll be fine do you see it on your side no oh there should be an LED hold on okay oh okay we got LEDs on now okay so like the GPU is definitely on now and my system's locked up the GPU just shut off let's let's try replacing that one cable just to see and we'll go from there worst case scenario I'll just take you guys and I'll show you where the new unit is ow ow ow ow ow ow okay Jamie plug it in are the LEDs on yeah I just blue screened again what did you do Colin we're trying to turn it off on on again and clearly it also turns yours off and on again no GPU what do you think Colin can we maybe try to at least plug in a USB drive at the new office and I'll transfer a file or something it's the fact that you've got this PCIe device over on the other side something like USB is not nearly as sensitive to latency so I have one of those Samsung t5s in my pocket Maybe just plug in that T5 and I'll see if it shows up okay let's do that a come on and I'm plugging into the T5 I only see the Seagate fire Cuda so far well the Corning reps did tell us this is a bad idea I don't think I was cced on that email we try it are we on all razor docks so far there's two docks there's one on the other side of the fence and then one in the middle of the parking lot are you plugged into the one that's at 100 m then the drive is plugged in at 150 M so you should have one more dock then right no we're plugged in directly into the Thunderbolt cable that won't work cuz there's no power a you're right I'm ah okay yep that's a limitation of optical cables while they can carry data they need to both be powered and you need to provide separate power for any devices you want to plug in so Colin had a little moment there and he tried to plug our drive directly into the dock which explains why it wasn't coming up so he's going to plug in our third Dock at the 150 M mark Mark and let's see if this thing shows up I'm I'm actually pretty hopeful right now what is Happ now's as good a time as any to take a closer look at our source here NZ xt's build systems let you configure your pre-built the way that you would a custom rig so you can go AMD or Intel they've got a 2-year warranty with two business day build service and everything else about it is custom now we actually got an AMD machine originally but because everything about NZXT build is using off-the-shelf like Enthusiast grade custom components there was absolutely no compatibility issues of any sort we're going to have a link below where you can learn all you need to know about NZXT build and let's uh check in with how those guys are doing people always tell me I look awkward when I run this is probably the case okay we're plugged in uh you seeing anything over there they're going over our Thunderbolt rest in peace cables but it was wasis of exciting hello oh my God I wasn't on speaker nope nothing eh no dice and that kind of makes sense because nothing would prevent Corning from making a 100 meter or a 200 meter version of their cable other than if just the signaling didn't handle that kind of distance very well and we were crazy to even try it in the first place I guess there's a limit to how far you can go with fibers we tried though we really did honestly I'm pretty pleased we even made it to 100 m even though we didn't make it to the new office so why don't we head over there and I'll show you guys the new location kind of talk about what we're going to do there so unfortunately we couldn't find another unit in the same complex that we're in but we really need the additional space because we want to get our hands on some new testing equipment and stuff to really take things to the next level and there's there's nothing in our complex so oh we saw a for sale sign here it's only about 150 M or about 500 ft as the crow flies from our existing office but because it's so winding and roundabout here we're probably going to have to get a handful of electric scooters so people can kind of scoot back and forth between the two buildings Unfortunately The Possession date isn't for a little bit and the existing owners just couldn't be bothered to to let us in just to show it to you guys today so it's this guy right here unit 120 so it's about 3,000 ft and obviously we couldn't do any of this without you guys watching and sponsors like NZXT builds so thanks for sponsoring the video thanks you guys for watching see you oh if you're looking for something else to watch the last time we played around with fiber optic cabling was in my house when we had a single server and then fiber optic DisplayPort and USB running all over the house so that it could act as the central brain that was a pretty fun video there was a dead squirrel which was unfortunate but yeah Colin found it in the Attic"}
