Default Need Good 4K HDMI 30-35ft long cable.. Recomendations?

The current HDMI 2.0 standard covers 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 HDR and has a bandwidth of 18 GHz. Cables 30’ long that meet this standard are mostly active, with a few passive cables that may or may not work in your installation.

HDMI 2.1 is the latest standard covering 8K 120 Hz and above. The 48 GHz bandwidth requirement for this newer standard will mean active cables for you.

If you are not now getting good HDMI performance at 1080p then your cables don’t meet the standard.

I am running HDMI 2.0 active cables with my current 4K projector and they work well, but I had to try several brands before I got one that worked well. I am at 35’.
