Any reason to believe HDMI extenders require something special?
EZs are pretty much the same as your typical RJs.
No they are not. The have extra length of wire that extends beyond the blades in the connector. This has been discussed many times as the reason they are not acceptable to use for extremely high speed networks (10 Gigabit).
HDMI extenders are 10 Gigabit speeds. There is no network you probably work with in a home that is using that speed. So EZ connectors can be used with regular network, up to Gigabit networks. But when you get up into speeds with 10 Gigabit, EZ connectors can cause issues.
