ᐅ Are HDMI in-wall cables different from standard HDMI cables?

Hello,
I am currently renovating some rooms and want to install HDMI wall outlets while running the cables through my suspended ceiling to the planned projector.
Since the outlets are from Busch Jaeger and the individual wires need to be screwed in separately instead of simply plugging a connector into the back of the outlet, I am wondering if there are differences between an HDMI in-wall cable and a standard “device cable.”
For testing purposes, I opened an HDMI cable I would use (Kabeldirekt) and prepared it for the HDMI outlet according to the manufacturer’s instructions. However, the wires in this cable are very fragile, and I could not find any cross-sectional area in mm² to compare it with in-wall cables. So now I am asking if these cables are essentially the same or if there are certain advantages to one or the other.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Installation cables come without connectors, which you need to cut off to fit the wall box connection. This is quite practical because you can cut the cable to the exact length, pull it through more easily without a bulky connector, and then attach the connector exactly where you need it.
There will certainly be differences—just like with ready-made HDMI cables that cost 10 EUR or 100 EUR for the same length.

However, I now mostly go for the lowest price category. The TV picture has never experienced any interference because of it, and I don’t have perfect pitch either. So it works fine for me.

I hope you’re running it through a conduit, because HDMI will probably become obsolete eventually, and something better will replace it.

Installation cables should have solid copper conductors, whereas standard cables typically use stranded conductors.

He is right. Install a conduit! You might want to run something different later or add a LAN cable, fiber optic, or something else.

Uh, no? An installation cable simply means it comes without a plug. A CAT7 cable, for example, doesn't have solid conductors when pulled from the spool.
Everything else is, especially for non-experts, a total disaster. A 0.25 mm² (0.0004 in²) solid conductor? It breaks so easily—you just have to cough accidentally.

@xMisterDx: Please try to stick to topics you at least have some knowledge about. You might not be able to write all Sunday then, but that way it won’t be pointless for anyone.
