TweakTown visited the VIA labs offices in Taipei and got a sneak peak at a new cable technology that VIA have been working on that gets rid of the security issues with long USB 3.0 cables. The new design uses fibre optic and can't be hacked into. Due to the cost of the technology, VIA is only targeting government and big business with the new cable at the moment.
"Besides the benefits of the added length and better security since fiber optic cabling does not omit EMI, USB 3.0 cable with fiber optics is far less lighter than copper based cabling and it is also much thinner, possibly allowing it to get into really tight areas where traditional and thicker USB 3.0 cable may not fit."
