USB-3 will have fiber-optic links *and* copper.

4.8 gigabits / second  (But being USB can you actually achieve that?
The USB disk controllers only do about 120 Mbps.)

Backwards compatable: USB-2 devices can plug into USB-3 ports.
(USB-1 also?)

I don't see anything about max cable length.

The whole point of USB is to be cheap, does this mean that someone
found a way to do fiber optic cheaply?
