So what do the different version number actually relate to?


Things other than cables.

So essentially worthless/irrelevant as a way to tell one cable from
another.

Which leads back to my main question when faced with finding that cables do
vary in what works with them. How to determine if one will do a task from
the sales blurb, etc. Looks like "plug and prey" rules...

The protocol that's run over it, I've got some nice IPv6 compatible
Ethernet leads if anyone's interested, they also support jumbo frames!

ROFL

Well I'm using 3 X 2 mtr which would be £1,113.60

Possibly more than the average price of a TV set.

That's a bit of a stranage way to put it. The HDMI cables that don't
work are ones that don't conform to the standard, and you can hardly
expect the standard to classify cables that don't conform to it.

Wouldn't they get stuck if the bend radius was too sharp ?

See the problem I outlined earlier.

Two cables behaving differently. One 'cured' the problem between a TV and a
recorder, the other 'cured' the problem between a monitor and a computer.
Neither worked correctly in the other application.
