I just checked in with the team that is evaluating cables. Regrettably, we have yet to find a cable that performs perfectly at 18Gbps (apart from short, passive cables that work fine but are length-limited).
We are testing one pre-production active cable that has worked >< this close to perfectly, and the issues we've seen with that one were not too likely to be encountered in normal use. We expect a production sample to test soon. Fingers crossed.
