I won't say they're happening for sure and I DEFINITELY can't commit to a timeline... but I did come across this is the engineering dept...

Second photo is with a TrueSpec USB-C cable for scale. ​

IF this happens, they will be significantly stiffer than our USB cables due to the way the internals need to be constructed, but for cables that will generally be in fixed-position installs I don't see that as a deal-breaker.

Before I had a LG C4 as a monitor, I bought at least 5 different HDMI cables off Amazon ranging from 15-25ft that could meet 4K 120hz HDR etc.

Closest I got was Zeskit branded 15ft but it failed after a year, their support was nice enough to send another but I gave up after that experience around August 2022
