The transfers can be as fast as 1.6Tb/s per second at lengths up to 300 meters throughout the datacenter.

FC is still much more expensive per meter than copper. A 6m length of LC-to-LC fiber is over $300 while 6m of CAT6 will run you around $3.

Consider 10GBps interfaces are becoming standard on most Cisco chassis, I don’t see this being widely used unless and until these are integrated into blade chassis backends or entire datacenters are refitted with fiber interconnects.

This is, however, pretty badass tech.
