I've had some intermittent trouble with the Aurum cable.
Good news, though: a friend turned me onto a more reliable solution: an HDMI cable with redmere technology. These cables are available on Amazon.com, and can come in the ultra-thin variety (as thin as the oculus style cable).
I've only tried this 20 ft cable with success. This one is standard thickness, though.

Note that it's a male/male, so you will need a coupler:

Thanks!
