UNITEK C11041BK 5M HDMI Cable | 4K@60Hz, 28AWG, Gold‑Plated, Shielded
UNITEK C11041BK: Reliable 4K HDMI over 5 Metres
When your devices are 5 metres apart – a TV on the wall and a console in a cabinet, or a projector at the back of a room – you need a cable that maintains signal quality without breaking the bank. The UNITEK C11041BK is a 5‑metre passive copper HDMI cable built to do exactly that, using quality materials and shielding to deliver a stable 4K@60Hz picture.
True 4K@60Hz with HDR
The cable supports 4K Ultra HD resolution at 60Hz with a full 18Gbps bandwidth, fully HDMI 2.0 compliant. Enjoy high‑frame‑rate movies, sports, and gaming with sharp details and vibrant HDR colours. It also supports HDCP 2.2 for protected 4K content from streaming services and Blu‑ray players.
Quality Construction: 28AWG Conductors & Shielding
Unlike thinner, lower‑gauge cables that can suffer from signal drop at longer lengths, the UNITEK C11041BK uses 28AWG oxygen‑free copper conductors. The thicker copper reduces resistance and ensures reliable 4K transmission over the full 5 metres. Internal shielding (typically foil and braid) protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio‑frequency interference (RFI), keeping the picture clean even when the cable is run near power cords.
Gold‑Plated Connectors & Durable Jacket
Gold‑plated HDMI connectors provide excellent conductivity, resist tarnishing, and maintain a secure fit. The durable PVC jacket is flexible yet tough, resisting kinks and abrasion, making the cable easy to route behind furniture or through cable management systems.
Perfect for Medium‑Distance Setups
At 5 metres (approx. 16.4 feet) , this cable is ideal for:
-
Wall‑mounted TV with source devices (console, media player) on a stand below.
-
Projector mounted on a ceiling or rear shelf.
-
Conference room displays connected to a laptop or PC at the table.
-
Gaming setups where the console is across the room.
Broad Compatibility
-
4K/HD TVs, monitors, projectors
-
Gaming consoles (PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch)
-

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this 5‑metre cable reliably carry a 4K@60Hz HDR signal? +
Yes. The UNITEK C11041BK uses 28AWG conductors and internal shielding to maintain signal integrity over 5 metres. For most setups, you will get a stable 4K@60Hz picture. However, if you experience any issues, ensure the cable is not coiled tightly and is kept away from strong electromagnetic sources.
Q2: Is this cable suitable for connecting a wall‑mounted TV to a console 5 metres away? +
Absolutely. This length is perfect for that scenario – a TV on the wall and a media cabinet on the floor below, with the cable routed neatly behind the wall or along the baseboard. The flexible PVC jacket makes it easy to manage.
Q3: Does the 28AWG conductor gauge matter? +
Yes. Thicker conductors (lower gauge numbers) have less resistance. 28AWG is a standard high‑quality gauge for passive HDMI cables up to 5‑7 metres. Thinner cables (30AWG or higher) may suffer from signal drop at this length, especially for 4K@60Hz.
Q4: Will this cable work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X? +
Yes. Both consoles output up to 4K@60Hz (most games) or 4K@120Hz (few titles). This cable supports 4K@60Hz, so you will get excellent performance. For 4K@120Hz, you would need an HDMI 2.1 (48Gbps) cable – this one is 18Gbps.
