I wonder if there would be any improvement in latency for audio recording vs. a copper cable at ~10 feet each.
Speed of light ("c") is the limiting factor for how fast a signal propagates in both copper and optical fibre alike.
3 meters at the speed of light (almost 300000000 metres per second) is really negligible (about 10 nanoseconds)
The electronics in both connectors will however also induce some latency and that's more than likely be more than the length causes.
