Long HDMI cable choice
 

I am thinking about replacing my long HDMI cable to the projector. Length is 12 meter / 40 feet. There are a couple choices:

1. Wire World Sphere. Has Composilex insulation and an HD-Bridge active chip to equalize the HDMI pulses.

2. Wire World Starlight 5-2. Age would be 10-13 years old. Has 24awg silver clad OFC copper conductors, but only Polyethylene foam insulation and no "active" chip.

I currently don't have any 4K requirements and if I did 4K it would be far into the future. Does anyone have real world experience with these two cables?

Choice #2 is not even a working option.

Not familiar with the Sphere, but the Ruipro cable below is highly recommended. It is an optic cable. Not sure it compares in price with the wire world cable you mentioned.
