capable of 1080p@60 4:4:4(:4).



If you need to go more than 500 ft. for 1080p/60, I'd say, sure, use  fiber.  
The SMPTE safe distance for Belden 1694A (calculated) is 270  ft.  These 
calculations look to be about half way to the cliff (hence my  500 ft. number) 
although I saw some AMAZING demonstration at the Gennum secret  room that blows 
away any distance numbers I give you.  (I would tell you  more but am 
restricted by an NDA.)  Go ask Gennum.
 
I think fiber will get its fair share of installs, but copper is not dead  
yet.
