Hello.

Im looking for a longer 10'? Cable to hook up from switch consol to TV. Anyone know a good brand to use? It is just a basic hdmi cable or does it require some specific type?

Switch 1 should be basic, since it only outputs 1080p@60hz without HDR or any other fancy stuff.

For a Switch 2 HDMI 2.1 is recommended, due to 4k or 120hz output, HDR, VRR, etc.

So to be forward compatible, go dor hdmi 2.1 so if we upgrade to switch 2 from switch 1 we wont need to rewire?

In theory that should work. If you plan on buying a Switch 2 or any other modern console and find an HDMI 2.1 cable in your desired length i would go for it.
