This is one type of cable I can agree with what you are saying. However, I still think it can be done using an HDMI pass-thru plate - at both ends. And then using a short, and more flexible, HDMI cable from the wall plate to the display and/or source equipment. If your HDMI run can't handle this, then it's probably too long and should be replaced with Category cable or fiber.

I still disagree with this solution. From a service point of view you add too many failure points to it and too much attenuation. No fiber extender or category extender can keep up with the performance of a well designed cable either active or passive at this point. They may in the future and fiber is certainly that path but not yet.
