Never been a sysadmin, but used to sell electronics. People really have absolutely no idea how any of it works, including pretty straight forward stuff, like displays. Had to explain to a shockingly large number of people that there was no such thing as an ethernet to HDMI adapter and that even if there was, plugging ethernet into their non-smart TV’s HDMI port wouldn’t let them watch Netflix on it.

HD Base-T does exist but I know what you mean.
Yes, HDMI over cat5e is definitely a thing. As is Ethernet over HDMI, but as far as I know literally no retailer sells those.
I bought HDMI cables that support ethernet years ago from Amazon’s store brand.
And were you able to use that functionality?
None of my devices support it.
Right. Because as far as I know, no retailer sells that equipment.
