If that's the HDMI lead then you would need to source your own cable.

HDMI at 4k HDR is ok up to about 10 metres so you should be ok.

We don't really recoomend 4K/HDR over 3m (5m possibly at a push) for normal (non optical) cables

I've run 4k 8bit 50Hz at over 10m on an 18Gb certified cable and it was fine. Not tried 10bit yet but in theory...

From SKY Q or other device ?

SKY Q seems to be quite sensitive to longer lengths (hence our recommendation)

Erm. I can't remember which source I used now! I'm going to dig the cable out and test the Q at 10bit...

Yeah the whole movie (Mario Bros,

not bad considering, 7/10 for Nintendo fans) worked without a hiccup.
