    I trust nothing on there anymore, it is very difficult to wade through the crap. All I want is a 3m HDMI 2.1 cable and I don’t believe what I’m getting.

    It’s like chinavasion but with better marketing.

        Have you had any issues, I’m seeing ridiculously long cables that I didn’t think we’re commercially available like 15m 48gbps HDMI which I thought was above the length maximum

          There are optical HDMI cables with much longer maximum lengths than passive copper cables. I assume the electrical - optical conversion is done in the plug itself.

            That is unbelievable, I never knew this. I can’t believe there is a terminal in the jack allowing for the conversion it’s really impressive.

        I prefer fleaBay these days. I mostly know what I’m getting whether it be someone’s personal item or a mass produced product. I feel like I have better control. Not a lot, but more. I also use B&H for tech stuff.
