Had to fit HDMI & Displayport cables through 25mm/1 inch electrical conduit (building static limits it to 25mm). The issue is that the connector won't fit through the commercial 90-degree corners.
Solution? Enlarge the profile while keeping the bending radius:
Some CAD and a 3D print later I have the solution no money can buy. That's the power of 3D-printing and modeling.
The cheaper ones are generally pretty finicky, and often introduce weird compression. You'll often find the stated achievable distances to require very good cabling with very good terminations.
If using cat cable was a necessity, I'd put the extra money down and get HDbaseT units. But I'd be pretty seriously looking into the various fully moulded active HDMI cables or even better, SDI solutions.
