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

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...
