The same cables support 1080p if the connected devices support it. The only reason they advertise upto 1080i is because CEA-770.3-E only defined 720p and 1080i. Support for 1080p and beyond using Component is done outside of the published CEA/CTA spec.
Check the quoted bandwidth of the cable if you are in doubt. Good quality cables would be needed for longer runs.
