Comment on Mac Pro Late 2013 TeardownparentComments−superuser212yFYI, that "half meter cable" is not simple electrical continuity.

From a functional point of view, it's still a 30$ half meter cable, and it is also sold as such (not as a transceiver chip/cable kit). It's an interesting technology, though.
