Yes you can use it, but it may impact video properties available to you during setup and/or settings changes.

“Standard” has become the actual name of the very first generation of HDMI cables (5 Gbps). There are now four tiers of bandwidth capabilities: 5 (“Standard”), 10 (“High Speed”), 18 (“Premium High Speed”), 48 Gbps (“Ultra High Speed”).

For 4K HDR, you would want 18 Gbps or better HDMI cables.

For 1080p HDR, you would want 10 Gbps or better HDMI cables.

For 1080p SDR, you would want 5 Gbps or better HDMI cables.
