Before HDMI over fiber, we used cat5, cat6 cables for extenders. If the electronics at each end of the cable failed, there was always a newer better extender that could be installed. With fiber, how do you ensure that the electronics at the end can be replaced with newer electronics, on some of these proprietary fiber systems?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

You can always run some duplex multimode as a backup.

The fiber in the Metra cable can be terminated for a fiber extender but whay not just run a backup.

I can confirm that the InstallBay AOC cables have 4 strands of OM3 Multimode fiber inside that can be terminated and used down the road if another technology is needed.
