High Speed Cable - too good to be true?

So I'm looking to be able to pass a 4k120 HDMI 2.1 signal from my office to my living room, in wall. I found this product, but it seems almost disturbingly affordable for its rated capabilites. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this company and/or their products, and if anyone does have this, what kind of processing latency it might have. 

 

In an ideal situation, I would keep my gaming pc in the office, hooked up to a monitor that could mirror to my TV in the living room, and use the Ethernet to run a USB hub for a couple wireless peripherals (keyboard, mouse, controller).

I would love to see a Labs test of it, but I haven't seen a place to submit suggestions for lab testing yet.

The 10ft version is what is $95. When you change the length it seems to match infinite cables prices. I would say this is probably the real deal.

My biggest concern is the potential latency hit from signal conversion, and whether it would be noticeable
