I read a lot on this forum about wiring and have experienced a few issues myself. Out of the gate, I purchased fiber HDMI due to the rather long run from XMC2 to my projector. It "worked" but was having issues with the handshake after a period of time. Turns out the manufacturer offered an "inline booster" that connected at the projector's USB to help improve the handshake. Ultimately, things were more or less resolved after sending in my Benq early generation 4K projector for a replacement refurb which was a more current version of it sporting new hardware and firmware. It now connects quickly without issues that the old one had. Sound familiar?
That said, it brings me back to how a cable can impact the signal. We always kind of assume that bigger is better, faster is better or that more capacity is better. Right? I mean, why not splurge; a few extra bucks on wiring today future proofs our installation. Instead of Cat 5e or 6 perhaps Cat7 or even Cat8. Similarly, why limit your HDMI cable to 18GBs when 48 is here and relatively cheap?

In a nutshell, it comes down to standards and that not everything is interchangeable or backwards compatible.
