I recently bought a HDMI 2.1 from amazon for $13 (5ft) that I hooked up to one of the newer Chromecasts.

It had serious problems (randomly stuttering image and failure to transmit HDR). The signal test in the TV confirmed it had to be replaced. Chinese no-name junk I guess. 4K 10-bit at 60FPS was at the limit for the cable, even though it said it could do 8K. Clearly not.
Went with this instead, no problems since.

So yep, even in the digital world there can be a big difference in cable quality, especially at the very highest transmission speeds.
