@@arnavsadhu Also, even if it was copper, most high speed cables are balanced and shielded, meaning the signal should actually pass within the cable itself.

My friend i have done some actual extensive research on your apnea. The jacket is 100% Blue. The jacket only changed color when there was no blue in the background. Every time Blue was present in the background no jacket rainbows. And Blue is a easy color to manipulate. Sleep well my friend😁

They didn't HAVE to do all this, they could've just done it in the office - they WANTED to do this and frankly I know the rest of you watching would've felt cheated if they did do this in the office. We need that excitement only LTT gives us by doing stupid over-convoluted things with the most simplest of ideas.
Well, no... Of course they didn't have to. But where would the fun be in a video where they plug in 6 spooled cables into hubs on a bench in the office? It would be over in 5 minutes and mega boring. If you break down most TV shows, they're mostly all just simple ideas with elaborate execution. It's what pulls in the views.
exactly xd it does not matter if they are 1000 feet away in real distance, or just plugged in in one building, the distance data would flow would be still the same - via all connected cables, but i guess linus wanted real exciting material.

I've been following for 5 years and I always see Linus smile. Your endless contribution to the PC Community and your never ending answers to all of our wildest questions will never get old. Keep up the work Linus!
At first glance I thought the guy's shirt at 5:44 said "Vancouver Sucks". Went back to see it was actually "Vancouver Canucks". We know know it really should have been "Vancouver Canucks Suck"
Literally took the time to see if someone else was going to point this out before commenting. The moment I saw that note, I paused the video... 1m ~ 3.3ft for anyone who sees this and wonders what the correct conversion is.
I love that you could get the same information way easier by leaving them all spooled up and never leaving the desk at all, but still having the distance. But that's just not the LTT way, they didn't even test it like that, they dove in head first and LEARNED!
I feel bad for being that person, but if they're using optical cables it makes a difference if it's spooled or unspooled. A piece of optical fiber will have a higher latency and a higher loss if it is spooled up. But I doubt this would make a huge difference in that situation. In that case adding individual pieces of cables that have to convert from electrical to optical has a way bigger impact, than the length of optical fiber between the two converters. That's just a generalization though, it depends on the wavelength, the specific fiber and fiber mode configuration and on the power and speed of your converters. But when you have to worry about these things you're out of the, "gonna run a cable through the parking lot"-zone anyway.
I did drafting in Van/North Van and the districts wanted different things in different standards on the same drawing. Often we’d do the work in mm but the materials coming in from USA were in imperial with weird tolerances. It was hell. Canadians are famously bi-lingual. They speak metric and freedum.
@@Andy.Bennett And Canadian, which is where they are (and every other English speaking country), so Colours is actually correct - as it always is in English. Variations in spelling, pronunciation and meaning occur in translation to USian. The biggest problem is that they still refer to it as English.
Those use more powerful lasers and latency is less an issue. They also have inline repeaters I think. But yeah fibre can go pretty far if the end devices are well designed.
Like that stock exchange, that has spools of fiber optic cables (38 miles long in fact) in their datacenter, specifically to cause an exact amount of delay in trade communications, that can't be bypassed by those going through it. Tom Scott video about it: ruclips.net/video/d8BcCLLX4N4/видео.html
Technically speaking, they don't have to pull it 1000ft away from each other... They both could just stay at the same spot and continue extending the length after each roll of cable since the length of the cable are the deciding factor right?
Fibre always blows my mind, a few years back I had to validate 100km capable TSOP SFPs that could do tx and Rx over a single fibre stand, it was crazy cool.
When they tried to connect that GPU in such an ungodly manner, they made the multiverse collide and that's why the jacket color changed, those were actually multiple Colins.
Something we can all agree is that the external GPU has been properly cooled throughout the whole video. I don't know why, but this kind of "silly" videos are so entertaining to watch...yet, they really test the hardware to the limit...given, it's a silly limit, but works. I get old TOP GEAR vibes with these "challenges"
0:15 Only 15 seconds in and you already got something wrong... 50 meters is not 984' feet, it is only 164' feet. Edit: Yes, 6 x 50 = 300 meters = 984' feet... But 50 meters still != 984' feet...
Again: as we know from previous video on it, it uses single mode fibers. Cut this cable in half, get like 500-1000m of 12fiber single mode cable and a splicer, and try to splice it back to cover bigger distance! There will be no hubs on the way, so the latency will be smaller
@@ayrendraganas8686 i think most of the latency in the setup of the video comes from the Hubs, a single but longer fiber should have less latency, as signals are travelling at the speed of light, instead of being retransmitted every 50m.
@@gabrielenitti3243 i dont have access to the data layer specification but i suspect there are hard timing limitations from hub to hub. if you send a signal from both ends of a cable at the same time its gonna take a while for that signal to reach the other end. That time is often limited by the specification. in other words: it could very well be that without the hubs retiming your signals (even if that adds additional latency) you couldnt go further than 50-60m since you are limited by the 200000km/s speed of light within a fiber and a hard limit to propagation delay. honestly it may be worth taking a look at what the people producing the honey badger have in store since they have actual pcie 'networking' solutions
I love how they could’ve just used the spools without unwinding them, but decided to do it anyways for the content And what did the editor smoke while editing this? Love the jacket hahahahaha
Linus Logic - Why stack the hubs on top of each other and link the cables still on the spool (because 50m of travel is still 50m of travel when your cable is 50m long) when you can take hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of electronics out in the wet.
True, but then it'd be less funny and fewer people commenting about how they could've done it in the same building (showing engagement). It's all about keeping it interesting for the viewer and the youtube algorythm.
They could but that's far less interesting and the viewers dont really get a prospective for how far 1000 feet actually is. Like yeah you hear 1000 feet and your like "wow that's far" but SEEING it is always best
I love how instead of just leaving the cable on the spool, and testing that way (still the same wire distance) they still stretch the cable halfway around the world lol. That's dedication
Do both. And have bidirectional dishes on both. Then have redundancy. That'd be my plan anyway. They're starting up a tech lab thing, why tf would they want to deal with potential outages due to weather or other avoidable issues? The cost of another fiber line likely pales in comparison to their expected labor costs for the new hires.
Don’t tell them that they didn’t actually have to unroll all of the fiber cables and walk back and forth for miles. They could have just connected the spools together, the cables are still 50m when rolled up lol
RIFT S CABLE IS FIBER OPTIC (check the official page), and so is quest 2 cable why not no cables, it's already possible with near ero latency (less than 2ms, which you can't notice) using wigig 1 and the new wigig 2 technology.
--- To be fair though ( I suppose ), at least this was a more concrete and visual way of showing the whole physical-length of this project. Like as in actually seeing the hundreds of metres layed down on down and buildings as visual-evidence instead of just having them spooled next to each other ( alongside experimenting the durability "in the wild" too ). ---

Was thinking the same, but probably not as fun of a video :)
true but not as fun
What an interesting 15 second video I wouldn’t watch
0:15 Quick correction...50 meters is 164'. The 984' refers to the 6 spools they used (300 meters).
I came down here just to see if someone else caught that...
Me: stuggles to run a short hidden ethernet cable in my house
Linus: Runs an cable 1000ft across two buildings while on a walk.
I hope they realize they could’ve used all the spools in the same building for testing purposes.
Yea they didn't have to move at all, could have just plugged them all inside
But that's no fun
They did it, so they could show new office space
Yeah but that wouldn’t make as good of a RUclips video
i'm sure they did. it just wouldn't have made for good content. Showmanship.
My GPU is $1000 away
Linus: "I'm pretty hopeful right now"
Computer: *blue screens*
Camera guy: "... Uh huh"
Collin being a new twitch emote with his rainbow road jacket.
My GPU is also...hopefully being manufactured...some distance away
12:00 "I'm pretty confident right now"
that broke me
Fibre always blows my mind, a few years back I had to validate 100km capable TSOP SFPs that could do tx and Rx over a single fibre stand, it was crazy cool.
This is like when Michael Scott made the 5K end 5 kilometers away from the office instead of just making it a circle.
Yeah, kinda wondered why they didn’t just test it with the cable on the spools right next to the computer.
@@leemiller7165 Because that wouldn't make for a great LTT video
When they tried to connect that GPU in such an ungodly manner, they made the multiverse collide and that's why the jacket color changed, those were actually multiple Colins.
them: "Hey look, it's Brian."
me: "The electrician."
1:57 This reminds me of when Adam Savage was unwinding a spool of rope and it was hitting him while Jamie was walking away with the other end
Colin's jacket changing colors was hilarious 🤣
12:00 is one of the finest moments in LTT history.
LTT in a nutshell
The "Uh-Huh" killed me
Uh huh
I love that this was also a great insert for Jackery. I love seeing the sponsors perform the way they're intended.
I laughed more at his jacked changing colors than the episode lol
They could literally just connect the wires in a single room🤣🤣🤣love how they mustttt go the 1000FT
because being in the same room doesn't make it cool
Im glad someone noticed
first time?
Also this shows that they actually did it. Otherwise ppl would claim it's fake. Some probably still will though.
i was about to say the same lol...
Being neighbors to LMG must be an experience. Imagine you're a trucker in the Vancouver area and Linus just walks up to you about laying cable.
They’re in Surrey, this isn’t the weirdest thing they’ve seen.
*confused meme*
Something we can all agree is that the external GPU has been properly cooled throughout the whole video. I don't know why, but this kind of "silly" videos are so entertaining to watch...yet, they really test the hardware to the limit...given, it's a silly limit, but works. I get old TOP GEAR vibes with these "challenges"
0:15 Only 15 seconds in and you already got something wrong... 50 meters is not 984' feet, it is only 164' feet.
Edit: Yes, 6 x 50 = 300 meters = 984' feet... But 50 meters still != 984' feet...
50m is about 10 ar 15 for u freedom people
@@Nathansomething da wrld need 2 lern howz to maths proprly iz all...
The fact that Brian the electrician is in this video means that there is going to be a good roasting video coming up soon
"I actually have a good feeling about this" - Linus
As the computer blue screens and dies behind him
i had a HEARTY chuckle
Colins jacket changing colors made me smile so wide for some reason
This is the content I want from LTT
among us ll
@@darkflightdreamer1698 you sussy baka
Again: as we know from previous video on it, it uses single mode fibers. Cut this cable in half, get like 500-1000m of 12fiber single mode cable and a splicer, and try to splice it back to cover bigger distance! There will be no hubs on the way, so the latency will be smaller
pretty sure there are latency limitations for Thunderbolt that prevent that
@@ayrendraganas8686 i think most of the latency in the setup of the video comes from the Hubs, a single but longer fiber should have less latency, as signals are travelling at the speed of light, instead of being retransmitted every 50m.
@@gabrielenitti3243 i dont have access to the data layer specification but i suspect there are hard timing limitations from hub to hub. if you send a signal from both ends of a cable at the same time its gonna take a while for that signal to reach the other end. That time is often limited by the specification.
in other words: it could very well be that without the hubs retiming your signals (even if that adds additional latency) you couldnt go further than 50-60m since you are limited by the 200000km/s speed of light within a fiber and a hard limit to propagation delay.
honestly it may be worth taking a look at what the people producing the honey badger have in store since they have actual pcie 'networking' solutions
I love how they could’ve just used the spools without unwinding them, but decided to do it anyways for the content
And what did the editor smoke while editing this? Love the jacket hahahahaha
Kinda surprised they didn't try that first, but I guess then there wouldn't be a video at all. (unless it worked and the cars were the actual problem)
Linus Logic - Why stack the hubs on top of each other and link the cables still on the spool (because 50m of travel is still 50m of travel when your cable is 50m long) when you can take hundreds, if not thousands of dollars worth of electronics out in the wet.
It's only a 3080ti, an enclosure, and some very expensive thunderbolt docks
Linus: "There's a thunderbolt glory hole going on over here"
A new way to fight constipation
"I feel like Ned Flanders"
*Proceeds to do the Homer Simpson bush clip*
They could simply connect the video card through the wires from the comfort of the room. The cable length would be the same.
Lol I was thinking the same. I guess they wanted to make the video more interesting
or u know they wanted to show us the new location like they said in the vid a million times
Same thoughts, it's not transmitting through signal lol. But where's the fun in that haha
But then they wouldn't have the suspense from vehicles driving over the cables potentially breaking everything.
True, but then it'd be less funny and fewer people commenting about how they could've done it in the same building (showing engagement). It's all about keeping it interesting for the viewer and the youtube algorythm.
So happy that IEX doesn't leave their 61 km of fiber optic in a rainy parking lot to be driven over and just keeps it on the spools.
In all seriousness Linus, you're living my dreams.
Our dreams
@@therealb888 You are correct.
"im actually pretty hopeful here" while simultaneously getting blue screened is a top 10 LTT moment
When you realize they could of done this in the same room by just connecting the cables when they were still spun up to save time and effort lol.
This is much more fun doe
They could but that's far less interesting and the viewers dont really get a prospective for how far 1000 feet actually is. Like yeah you hear 1000 feet and your like "wow that's far" but SEEING it is always best
It's called content
it proves that this was real... theres always some people that say it was fake
Cooler and more fun if they adventure
I love how instead of just leaving the cable on the spool, and testing that way (still the same wire distance) they still stretch the cable halfway around the world lol. That's dedication
I wanna see the network solution between the two buildings, namely putting a couple dishes up and sending it wireless.
Why pay for two leased lines?
Do both. And have bidirectional dishes on both. Then have redundancy. That'd be my plan anyway. They're starting up a tech lab thing, why tf would they want to deal with potential outages due to weather or other avoidable issues? The cost of another fiber line likely pales in comparison to their expected labor costs for the new hires.
As long as they have line of sight, that feels like an easy Ubiquiti sponsorship opportunity right there
I feel like they could have just plugged in all the cables and hubs in the office. Physical distance is not really the test. It's cable length.
People like drama and story.
Lol.
Cause the average viewer of this channel can’t make that mental leap.
had to extend the video
0:15 50 m isn't 984 feet; it's 164. Someone converted 300 m on accident.
3:55 no one gonna talk about the door tho
3:33 Colin's got that "jeb_" drip ˙ ͜ʟ˙
Don’t tell them that they didn’t actually have to unroll all of the fiber cables and walk back and forth for miles. They could have just connected the spools together, the cables are still 50m when rolled up lol
wouldn't make a good video + they wanted to show off the space
I hope you are just a kid
@@Expllosaoriginal what does that mean? It was a joke little guy
I mean...the cable didn't need be rolled out, you could've just plugged it in all together and still have the gpu next to the pc
i love that his jacket keeps changing color. that's a nice fun detail
What’s the color of Colin’s jacket?
Editors: Yes
The video title is me checking the shipment status right after ordering a new GPU
That's what i thought the video was going to be, a polite Canadian siege of the local post office until someone found a missing box.
Absolutely love the kinds of shenanigans and experiments LTT gets to do!
I respect how linus is always on top of the process knowing why and how everything works
This is what I hope VR cables become eventually
I mean the Rift S and Quest link cables are already fiber optic…
@@dalzy25 rift s isn't fiber optic
You want no cables in VR, so I'd hope to get faster wireless support rather than longer cables.
RIFT S CABLE IS FIBER OPTIC (check the official page), and so is quest 2 cable
why not no cables, it's already possible with near ero latency (less than 2ms, which you can't notice) using wigig 1 and the new wigig 2 technology.
@@dalzy25 tf are you talking about, the Q2 is definitely just a regular USB C data cable lmao
“We could just plug all this together indoors while it’s still spooled up and accomplish the exact same thing!”
Nahhhhhh
Exactly my thoughts. I guess Linus really likes segways and wanted to show the new place...:D
---
To be fair though ( I suppose ), at least this was a more concrete and visual way of showing the whole physical-length of this project.
Like as in actually seeing the hundreds of metres layed down on down and buildings as visual-evidence instead of just having them spooled next to each other
( alongside experimenting the durability "in the wild" too ).

It's really crazy how much LTT continues to scale, good for you guys! :D
Colin's jacket is the best part of this content. Enjoying it so much
