Heyall, Due to room constraints (and wife constraints) I am looking to run a 30m fiber cable from my XMC-2 to my Sony OLED. Anyone have a recommendation? I found this one but not sure on the brand. Avencore Carbon Series Should I be concerned about buying from the Cable Chick? She looks honest  Cheers |

Well, as Jessica Rabbit once said, "I'm not really bad, I'm just drawn that way".
I've got two Ruipro FO cables with the longest being 10 meters, and a Maxonar (off brand) 50 foot FO. I like the Maxonar the best, but not for how the video looks (there's no difference between it and the Ruipro), it's how it helps one issue that I have with all FO cables in my system, which is HDCP Lockup. HDCP Lockup still happens, but with less consequence, and is easier to avoid by just leaving my processor on an input that isn't a cable box while it's in VRO and the tv is turned off.
The only caution I would present is to look at the construction of the connectors. I happen to like a molded-on connector because it looks like it would take strain a bit better.
And the only other thing I'd suggest is to get a cable rated for In-Wall usage. The construction of the cable is different, and some insurance claims could be denied if cables are not an approved design for the intended usage.

I have gone through several cables. You have to be careful with Ruipro. Some of their HDMI cables draw more power from the HDMI out port than it can provide which damages the pre/pro. The most consistent performing cable I have is from Cable Matters (https://a.co/d/5rxOap4). I still have some EDID problems with the HDFury but I'm not sure if that's the cable or the HDFury.
