HDMI cables for 4K HDR longer than 2m

I've just recently upgraded to a 4K HDR TV, and I have my media/games devices further than 2m away.

I have tried 5 different 4m Dynamix cables (all say they are capable of the full 18Gbps required) with my Xbox One X and have had the following results once I enable HDR on the TV:

3x C-HDMI20-4: One doesn't work at all, one cuts in and out, and one appears to work (although I only tested it for a couple of minutes, and based on the other two I'm not that comfortable relying on it).

2x C-HDMI2FL-4: Neither work at all.

Just to be sure I tested on two different 4K HDR TVs, and 2 different Xboxes (an X and an S) and got the same results.

I've swapped for some 3m cables which should be just long enough and will try those tonight.

I've read about people having issues with HDR and HDMI cables, but this seems ridiculous. Has anyone else had similar issues?
