How do some long cables (50+ ft) work well for transmitting 4K video or lots of data and others don’t? Are some really worth $100+?
I have two 4K cameras that I’m looking to use for recording and have been struggling with getting reliable video signals into another room (~15m or a little over 50ft). I’ve searched here and read about a lot of cable differences and limitations, but I was recently recommended what looks like a fairly standard USB-A to USB-C cable that claims they can handle 4K/60fps video up to 20 me or 65 feet: https://www.obsbot.com/store/products/20m-65ft-usb-a-to-usb-c-3-cable
The reviews look decent, but it’s $100. Are cables like this really worth the cost? I’ve also looked into longer HDMI cables that claim to offer video + ethernet capabilities as well, but those are even more expensive!
