A month or two ago there was an article on GameSpot.com that went into detail about HDMI 2.1. The writer couldn't get his Xbox Series X to do 120fps gaming. The option was greyed out, even though he was using an HDMI 2.1 cable and his TV and sound receiver both supported it. When he would plug the cable directly into the TV, bypassing the receiver, he got the option to game at 120fps, but as soon as he plugged it back into the receiver, he lost the option, even though the receiver supported it. It turned out that it was due to the cable not being certified. The receiver wouldn't recognize it correctly. Once he tried a certified cable, the problem was solved.
I'm not saying you'll for sure have a problem. Just keep in mind that if you experience something similar, it's probably this cable. Every receiver is different. His was an Onkyo. I don't know the model.

Actually, because these aren't certified, you can run into the issue of not being able to game at 120fps. There was an article on it where the option to game at 120fps was greyed out on the person's Series X when plugged into his receiver, even though the receiver supports 2.1. It turned out to be solely the fault of a non-certified HDMI 2.1 cable. As soon as he tried a certified cable, it worked. So, it's best to avoid these for the new consoles. Of course that doesn't happen to everyone, since every TV, receiver, etc is different, but it does happen. I personally wouldn't chance it. Though I guess returns are simple enough if that is an issue for someone.

Well HDMI doesn't carry electricity Until HDMI 2.1a. Perhaps it's safe.
