it has to meet (or for safety sake exceed spec). the cheap cables can be built poorly enough to be worth avoiding.

If you notice I recommended a $4 cable… but I wouldn’t recommend any $4 cable.

and as distance increases you need to care more.

I love monoprice for all my digital cables - for analog I buy used high quality stuff.
