In this case Thunderbolt is much much cheaper than 100G Ethernet. (The cord is $50 because it contains two active chips BTW.)

- geerlingguy 11mo agoYeah, even decent 40 Gbps QSFP+ DAC cables are usually $30+, and those don't have active electronics in them like Thunderbolt does. The ability to also deliver 240W (IIRC?) over the same cable is also a bit different here, it's more like FireWire than a standard networking cable.
