>Very sturdy cable, too -- very resistant to damage.
depends on the cable, but yeah, it can be. for permanent installs into post facilities, there is a much smaller cable that still qualifies for the higher bandwidth signals, but much thinner cable. it is lighter, easier to pull, and requires so much less space in the racks. this is convenient when cabling patch panels, routers, etc. it does tend to not hold up as well if you have to bend past 90 degrees though.
>And if you need to convert to/from something else (like HDMI), then BlackMagic has some awesome converter boxes.
you can also go to cat6 which is even cheaper and more readily available for HDMI over long distance.
Did that more than once at DevOpsDays conferences here in Austin.
