5120 * 2880 * 32bits * 60FPS is only 28.3 Gbit and both 40Gbit and 100Gbit are well established standards.

Granted 40GB cards are running 50$ and 100Gbit cards are running ~700$, but that's most from the low volumes involved.

Really though the larger issue is Ethernet connectors are not designed to be plugged in and removed regularly.

Well could easily use a smaller and easier plug while still being pin compatible with ethernet.
