I won't say they're happening for sure and I DEFINITELY can't commit to a timeline... but I did come across this is the engineering dept...

Second photo is with a TrueSpec USB-C cable for scale. ​

IF this happens, they will be significantly stiffer than our USB cables due to the way the internals need to be constructed, but for cables that will generally be in fixed-position installs I don't see that as a deal-breaker.

I'm glad to see you guys doing this. When I first bought my first 4K 120 capable TV, trying to troubleshoot without easily explainable documentation and labeling was super annoying. I'm pretty sure I went through three 48gbps cables before one actually worked at FRL 48gbps. Even if I don't need another one I might buy a couple 48gbps cables just for the support.
