The one you have posted isn't an Optical HDMI cable so beyond 5 meters you are taking a chance that it won't do the full 18Gb/s signal. I know the thought of spending £50 and more on a cable does appear excessive but it's all relative to the distance the signal has to travel.
Personally I am using this ATZEBE Optical HDMI but 2 years have past and never had an issue.
Here's a cheaper one getting great reviews
Amazon product ASIN B07R2KVTGG
The problem with Amazon reviews especially regular cables is it includes everything right down to the 0.5M lengths which always work perfectly. If I can give you one bit of advice is listen to the members on here, we don't get any kick back for our recommendations it is solely done for the benefit of others from our own experiences.
AGREED. We've had lots of it's not the cable, it's 4k certified, why aren't things working. OH it was the cable, type posts.
Seriously, go for an optical HDMI cable with this projector. That Atzebe one is what I have too.
The Epson is particularly fussy in cable choices to get the full 18Gb/s working.
For once, this is not snake oil in cable sales, but physics
