UNITEK 15m HDMI Cable | 4K@60Hz, 18Gbps, Triple Shielded, Long Distance
UNITEK C11045BK: Extended 4K HDMI Connection with Triple Shielding
When your display is 15 metres away – a projector at the back of a large hall, a TV across an expansive living room, or a digital signage screen in a commercial space – you need a cable that can push 4K@60Hz to its passive limit. The UNITEK C11045BK is a 15‑metre passive copper HDMI cable built with triple shielding, 28AWG conductors (implied by series, though not explicitly stated for this model), and gold‑plated connectors to maximise signal integrity over this challenging distance.
True 4K@60Hz with HDR
The cable supports 4K Ultra HD resolution at 60Hz with a full 18Gbps bandwidth, fully HDMI 2.0 compliant. Experience smooth motion, vibrant HDR colours, and exceptional detail for movies, sports, gaming, and presentations. It also supports HDCP 2.2 for protected 4K content.
Triple Shielding for Interference Protection
The cable is engineered with triple‑layer shielding (typically foil + braid + foil) to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio‑frequency interference (RFI) . This is critical for long cable runs that may pass near power cables, lighting ballasts, or other electronic equipment. The result is a cleaner, more stable signal with fewer dropouts or sparkles.
Gold‑Plated Connectors & Durable Construction
Gold‑plated HDMI connectors provide superior conductivity, resist tarnishing, and maintain a secure connection. The durable PVC jacket is flexible enough to route through cable trays, conduit, or behind baseboards, while resisting abrasion and kinking.
Supports Advanced Audio & Video Features
-
HDR (High Dynamic Range) – enhanced contrast and colour depth.
-
3D video – for compatible displays and content.
-
ARC (Audio Return Channel) – sends audio from the TV back to a soundbar or AV receiver.
-
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) – control multiple devices with one remote.
-
Dolby TrueHD & DTS‑HD Master Audio – lossless surround sound formats.
Ideal for Long‑Distance Setups
At 15 metres (approx. 49 feet) , this cable is suited for:
-
Large home theatres with a ceiling‑mounted projector and equipment rack at the back.
-
Conference and lecture halls where the presentation display is far from the presenter's laptop connection point.
-
Commercial digital signage where the media player is in a remote equipment room.
-
Retail and hospitality displays across large spaces.
Broad Compatibility
-
4K/HD TVs, monitors, projectors
-
Gaming consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S)
-
PCs and laptops with HDMI 2.0 or lower
-
AV receivers, soundbars, media players
-
Blu‑ray players, streaming devices
Backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 devices (1080p, 3D).
Performance Note
Passive copper HDMI cables at 15 metres are operating at the edge of the HDMI 2.0 specification for 4K@60Hz. The UNITEK C11045BK is designed with high‑quality materials to maximise reliability, but individual results may vary based on the source device’s output strength, the display’s signal tolerance, and the installation environment. For guaranteed 4K@60Hz over 15 metres without any risk of signal degradation, consider an active optical HDMI cable (AOC) from UNITEK’s fibre optic series (e.g., C11072BK-15M or C11085GY01-10M/15M).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this 15‑metre cable reliably carry a 4K@60Hz HDR signal? +
The UNITEK C11045BK is built with triple shielding and quality conductors to give the best possible performance for a passive copper cable at this length. However, 15 metres exceeds the typical recommended distance for guaranteed 4K@60Hz over passive copper (5–10 metres). In many real‑world setups, it works well, but results depend on the specific source and display. For critical installations, we recommend testing the cable in your environment or upgrading to an active optical HDMI cable.
Q2: What is the advantage of triple shielding? +
Triple shielding provides three layers of protection against electromagnetic and radio‑frequency interference. This is especially important for long cable runs that may pass near power cables, WiFi routers, or other electronic devices, as it reduces the chance of signal corruption, sparkles, or dropouts.
Q3: Is this cable suitable for a ceiling‑mounted projector 15 metres from the AV receiver? +
Yes, this is a common use case. Ensure the cable route avoids sharp bends and is not coiled tightly. For a professional installation, consider using a wall plate with HDMI connectors and test the signal before finalising the run. If you experience issues, an active optical cable is a guaranteed solution.
Q4: Does this cable support 4K@120Hz for PS5 or Xbox Series X? +
No. This cable supports up to 4K@60Hz (18Gbps). For 4K@120Hz, you need an HDMI 2.1 cable (48Gbps). The C11045BK is perfect for 4K@60Hz gaming, which is the standard for most current‑gen games.
