Intel engineers where able to extract 10 Gbps transfer rate out of a cooper cable. The original intention of Intel was to use optical fiber cabling, but it is very expensive and fragile as compared to copper cable, so they decided to use cooper cabling.

Intel claims that this cable can be used to connect two monitors at one time thanks to its exceptional transfer rate. This cable can provide 10 watts for the connected devices.
