HDMI output only works with a certain 5m cable

Trying even very short mini HDMI -> HDMI cables doesn't make it work (no image or constant signal loss). If he has the short cable that doesn't work and then adds the "high quality cable", it works.

If the cable has explicit direction labels on it, it might have the Redmere chip in it, which can help not-spec-meeting HDMI sources or sinks to work more widely.
nuno:
The "magic cable" is totally symmetric, both in aspect and in usage (doesn't matter which side you connect to the HDMI source or sink).
