Depending on the amount and type of use, cables and their connections will always wear down over time so should be considered consumables.

The most common issues are caused by the HDMI cable and HDMI extender as they were never designed for constant movement or twisting etc. Complete replacement camera cable looms, with HDMI and USB cables included, can be ordered here: unlimitedirl.com/cables

Alternatively, you can buy standalone cables on Amazon or other online reseller if you want to manually replace only one cable in your setup.

In general, it's always a good idea to at least carry spare HDMI cables when travelling.
