tbh high bandwidth cables over copper are a bit of an anti pattern.
Would be a lot cheaper and compact if ethernet and video over fiber were more popular already
Having professionally terminated fiber, that shit is nasty and hazardous in a way copper will never be.
The little fiber bits can be razor sharp, you have to be careful of the naked fiber end, because it can get into your skin like a splinter, only it is clear, nearly invisible, can shatter if grabbed too hard, and is invisible to MRI and X-RAY scans...
I mean, if it weren't more dangerous, it would be really unbalanced. You want the player to have to make active choices with upsides and downsides.
The equipment required to fuse glass fiber to connectors is still slightly more expensive than a set of crimp tools. Really cool machine though
