Obviously, one cuts a small hole in the ziploc bags and runs the cable between them so that each connector can be in the correct bag.

The most specialized standard wins, so in this case I'd say HDMI.

In my system that lands in the "adapters" bin which has has a "display" bag within it.

That's still a topic of active debate

No, active HDMI cables go in a different bin.

It's own bag, it won't feel lonely for long :)

Either create a 2-dimensional categorization system or create a priority hierarchy.
