What's the best option for 40ft HDMI?

In researching long HDMI cables, I came across this company(Ruipro). Im getting ready to start my theater project (3rd time) and i need a 40' hdmi run to my projector. I see the hybrid fiber optic has had some issues with hdmi board failers. I was wondering if anyone here has seen the new all fiber cable option with 7 band bi-directional fiber lines? I've always had intermittent issues with drop out in my last setup, and the run was only 25'.
I'm currently limited to 4k@60hz so Im looking to future proof. My current equipment is kinda out dated and I will be upgrading soon... Marantz 7703, Apple 4k, Oppo 203, and using a JVC RSU500 projector.
Does anyone have experience with these cables?

You need to power those cables with a voltage inserter, not the HDMI board. Their power draw exceeds the spec of HDMI boards. I have used a 35' Ruipro cable for nearly six years now, with no issues. For 8 and 4K you need an active hybrid cable if it is longer than 12'. It is the optical converters at either end of the cable that draw the power. For your 40' run a hybrid cable with fiber for video and copper far the audio will be just fine. Do not power either of those options from the HDMI board, but from an HDMI voltage inserter. Remember those cables are directional for the video. In the latest cable only the audio is bidirectional.

My question was about the totally fiber HDMI not the hybrid version. But thanks for the solid advise. It's for a projector, so I don't really need the audio part that's handled by the Marantz processor.

It won't matter which one you use. Use whichever is cheapest.
