Came across this interesting post from CEDIA about fibre cables potentially able to operate above 18gbps:
HDMI Data Rates for 4K HDR
Does anyone know for easily available fibre cables in the market how they are configured and whether >18gbps support is likely?
HDMI Data Rates for 4K HDR
However, many AOC solutions already in the market today comprise 4x optical lanes — 3 are currently used for AV data, the 4th for being clock. If there's 4x 6Gbps lasers, then the cable could theoretically support the upcoming 24Gbps level of HDMI 2.1, as HDMI 2.1 will re-purpose the clock channel to a 4th AV data lane, and embed the clock. The good news is that the 24Gbps tier will be the most relevant for a long time yet, able to support up to 4K/60 4:4:4 with 12-bit Dolby Vision, all uncompressed. Brilliant!! Some AOC's are even using up to 12Gbps lasers per lane, which may prove to be fully compatible with the top tier of HDMI 2.1 at 48Gbps, unlocking further formats such as 8K up to 120fps. Please check with your vendor for details.
