Any new updates on HDMI cables ?

I have tested this cable: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=21568
But I do not have a 60P source, so have only tested it at 4K/24P 4:4:4 12 bit, which it passed.

I bought a 16 foot KabelDirect from Amazon and can confirm it works fine at 4k/60 4:4:4.

In case you're thinking that *any* 16 foot cable should work, the 15 foot $90 Ethereal DPLabs 'certified 18hgz'  cable that my dealer supplied did NOT work.

Key Digital cables ( with " Booster Tech " ) have been reported to me to work, up to 75' .

10m Ruipro active fiber cable works like a charm and exhibits tremendous flexibility.

Monoprice Luxe CL3 in 30, 35, and 50 foot lengths are working at 18gbps.

This is verified by owners? I was thinking about buying a 35 footer.

Yes, I own all three and they work.

I've been using a Celerity 40ft. since May with no problems. hooked into back of receiver. from receiver to 4K blu-ray player and Roku I use 10ft. Mono price certified premium cables. again no issues so far.

I am using two FIBBR Optical Fiber Cable Ultra Pro 10M cables: one directly from my DISH NETWORK HOPPER receiver to the JVC DLA-RS500U HDMI input 1; the other directly from my OPPO 205 to the projector's HDMI input 2. I've had the cables for a few weeks now and don't seem to have any problems (fingers crossed!) There is no HDMI certification indicated on the box...I don't know if this means anything?

The specifications show:
     4:4:4 4K @ 60Hz
     bandwidth: 18Gbps

So I have a customer that bought a Key Digital HDMI cable. He is concerned that the connector fits very loosely into the HDMI port on his Marantz pre-pro and the projector. Does anyone have any comments on which HDMI cable ( 30 ' ) both work and have tighter tolerances at the HDMI port ?

I have (2) Ruipros from my Marantz pre pro to my RS4500.  One is 10m and they other is 15m.  They fit very snug and both have operated flawlessly for me.

When HDMI was still relatively new some devices had threaded female ports on either side of the HDMI port that could be used in conjunction with an adapter for your HDMI cable that would lock it in place and help support the weight of a longer/thicker cable. It basically worked like a stock DVI or VGA cable. I wish this was used more widely. I'm sure a lot of HDMI ports break due to loose and heavy cables.
