I recently purchased a LG C5 and was using a 6' normal HDMI cable for the past month to connect my tv to my soundbar via the HDMI port 2 (eARC / ARC). I'm working on running the cords through the wall to hide them and wanted to switch to a 10' cable to give myself some more slack, and for the life of me I cannot find a single 10' cable - after trying four of them now - old crappy HDMI, "ultra high speed", "ultra high speed certified" that works. But every time I try my 6' normal HDMI cable I have zero issues. I've turned eARC on and off with no impact.

Does anyone have some insight?
