This isn’t even true with other common ‘digital’ cables.
Not all ‘Ethernet’ cables are the same. Someone will give you 100mbit. Some will give you a gigabit. Some will give you even more. They’ve all got RJ45 on them.
“All HDMI cables are the same” is an almost-baseless corruption of a very valid critique of Monster et al.
- bzzzt 2y agoRJ45 is just the plug. Ethernet cables are labeled with category 5, 5e, 6 etc.
