For all us geeks that need a cable this long this is a very good price! 150' fiber hdmi cable. Ended up being $26.84 with tax for me. This is a one way cable so watch how you hook it up. HDMI 2.0 at 18Gbps so this will not do 4k 120hz but should do lower resolutions fine.

I'm just curious. What would be the utility for this outside very specific business purposes?
It could be used to keep your PC in a completely different room of your home. My PC lives in my spare bedroom closet. I use a similar cable (DP instead of HDMI), along with a USB over ethernet extender, to bring video, audio, and USB to the location in my living room where I've got my monitor and peripherals. For audio, I just plug some speakers into the 3.5mm port on the back of my monitor. No perceptible input / display lag.
The cable I'm using is only 50', and supports a good deal higher refresh rates (I'm running an INNOCN 34" ultrawide OLED monitor that does 175Hz), but it'd be the same idea.
A cable like the one listed in this post could also take a signal to an outdoor TV, a TV in a garage, etc. I've also seen many a post on Reddit from people that have a gaming PC in one room, but they want to occasionally use their living room TV instead of being stuck in a bedroom. An HDMI switch would let them switch between that TV and their local monitor. They'd have to do something for peripherals (wireless if the room is close enough, or USB over ethernet, like I did), but if they're already running a 50-150' HDMI cable...
Before you mention it, yes, I agree most people won't have a centralized video source that they'd need to access 50-150' away from that source, but for those of us that do...
I have a game room/office but have a tv in the living room I want to patch into the game room systems. The living room is right next to the office. I have an hdmi splitter that has 4 outputs. So I can pass hdmi to my capture card and now to my living room. Then I'll probably have one go up to my upstairs TV. Now I just need to figure out how to get the controllers to connect over Ethernet or something. Wonder if anyone has a recommendation for that?

Wow. I was just looking at long HDMI cable for home theater. I need only 30 feet. This is truly a slickdeal considering it is Fiber optic cable even if it is HDMI 2.0.

It's almost mandatory for projectors. Otherwise I need to run a super chonky HDMI that is extremely inflexible and I swear it puts strain on my receiver and projector. I also have gotten frustrating unpredictable dropouts with the traditional wired HDMI.
If anyone is concerned about the 150ft length, most people just coil them up and keep the extra length in their walls/ceiling.
