There will probably be long (and expensive) fiber optic cables eventually, but yeah the basic copper cables are likely to have very limited reach.


They already exist. I recently bought a 33 foot fiber DP1.4+USB3.1/2 (depending on how much video bandwidth you’re using) cable on Amazon for about $130.


I meant they'll eventually exist for HDMI 2.2, the current ones probably won't support the new higher bandwidth modes.


(For the people that don't measure the world in limbs: that is ~10 meters.)
