I also believe that length can be an issue. Can't quite recall whether the standard's max is 5 m or 10 m but basically really long runs may struggle.
Coax, on the other hand, not being digital can differ significantly depending on cable type, quality of the plugs and quite importantly, how the plugs are connected to the cable.

It's theoretically possible to have a cable that cannot support the bandwidth needed for a particular input. So it's possible that one could have issues beyond "it works or doesn't work", but very unlikely.
