You would use a HDMI cable of the wanted length, with standard ‘A’ size plugs.

HDMI cables come in various bandwidth certifications: 5 Gbps (old: 2004), 10 Gbps (2006), 18 Gbps (2013), or 48 Gbps (2017). The HDMI 1.4 port of the Apple TV HD (4th generation) maxes out around 10 Gbps. The HDMI 2.0 port of the Apple TV 4K (5th generation) maxes out around 18 Gbps. A higher bandwidth cable will work just fine, but a lesser bandwidth cable might restrict what the devices can send over HDMI.

Most other claims/properties are not important, or not really a property of the cable (but of the devices).
