Which format, what is it?

Apparently only certified 18Gbps HDMI cables will take 4K HLG/HDR at 50fps/60fps. But any cable can take HD and the other lesser 4K and HDR variants such as 24fps. It seems this is one area where the 'experts' say a cable can make the difference. Just going by several articles that I've read.

I don't normally buy into the cables thing but I've read quite a lot about HDR 50fps/60fps and the specific need for 2.0 18Gpbs HDMI cables.
