I know this has been spoken already by a lot of people in regards to Ultra high-speed HDMI. My problems lie in future-proofing as I will need to upgrade to this standard at some point and my wires will be inside my walls.
As it stands I have bought a 7.5m Active HDMI cable for 4k from monoprice but I am also looking to run an ethernet cable when my wires are going to be hidden behind the fireplace wall to run HDMI through ethernet.
Given the fact the ultra high speed (2.1) is going to be like 58gbps to be transferred I don't know if a Cat6 cable would work, would anyone know?
I don't want to run the risk of running CAT 6 if later down the road it won't be capable so would it be worth running this CAT 8 or is it not compatible with the current offerings as I remember hearing the cables need to be quite specific when it comes to running HDMI signals.
Any help would be appreciated.
