Belkin High Speed HDMI Cable — 5 m, 4K Ultra HD
5 m — reaches a wall-mounted TV4K Ultra HD and full 1080pHDMI Ethernet Channel, 10.2 GbpsAudio return channel
The Belkin High Speed HDMI cable (part number F3Y017BT5M-BLK) is a 5 m HDMI Type A male-to-male run — the length you need when the television is on the wall and the equipment is in a cabinet at the other side of the room. It carries 4K Ultra HD and full 1080p video with 10.2 Gbps of bandwidth, and it includes the HDMI Ethernet Channel, so a network connection can travel down the same cable instead of a separate Ethernet run. An audio return channel sends sound back from the television to a soundbar or receiver, and the cable is double shielded against outside interference — which matters more at five metres than at one, because a long run picks up more of everything around it. Connectors are 24K gold-plated to minimise signal loss, and the cord is slim and pliable rather than stiff.
Compatibility — check before buying:
A standard HDMI Type A cable at both ends, so it works with any HDMI television, monitor, projector, media player, console, set-top box or AV receiver. Bandwidth is 10.2 Gbps, which covers 4K Ultra HD and 1080p at standard refresh rates and is the right cable for streaming, films, set-top boxes and general home cinema. It is not an HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable: for 4K at 120 Hz on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, or 8K, you need a 48 Gbps certified cable instead. 3D is supported.
Best For
✓ Wall-mounted televisions with the equipment across the room
✓ Projector installations where the source is at the back
✓ Anyone running a set-top box, media player or Blu-ray to a 4K TV
✓ Soundbar setups using the audio return channel
✓ Situations where a long run risks picking up interference
✓ Anyone who needs 5 m without joining two cables together
Key Features
Five metres in one run
Joining two HDMI cables with a coupler degrades the signal and adds a failure point. A single 5 m cable reaches from a cabinet to a wall-mounted television without either.
Double shielded for a long run
At five metres a cable behaves like an aerial for whatever else is in the wall. Double shielding is what keeps a long HDMI run stable rather than intermittently sparkling.
Ethernet and audio return on the same cable
HDMI Ethernet Channel carries a network connection at up to 10.2 Gbps down the same cable, and the audio return channel sends television sound back to a soundbar or receiver — two fewer cables behind the furniture.
24K gold-plated connectors
Gold plating resists corrosion and minimises signal loss at the contact, which is the point in a connection that gets plugged and unplugged and then left for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it do 4K at 120 Hz for my PS5?
No. This is a 10.2 Gbps High Speed cable, which covers 4K Ultra HD and 1080p at standard refresh rates. For 4K at 120 Hz or 8K you need an HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable rated at 48 Gbps.
What is HDMI Ethernet Channel for?
It lets a network connection travel down the HDMI cable, so a smart television or a console can get online without a separate Ethernet run. Both devices have to support it.
Does 5 m affect picture quality?
Not with a properly shielded cable, which is why the double shielding matters here. Unshielded long runs are where sparkles and dropouts come from.
What does the audio return channel do?
It sends sound from the television back down the same cable to a soundbar or AV receiver, so the TV apps play through your speakers without a separate audio cable.
Singular Expert Insight
Long HDMI runs are where cheap cables reveal themselves. At one metre almost anything works; at five, an unshielded cable sitting in a wall cavity next to mains wiring produces intermittent sparkles or a picture that drops out when the fridge starts. Double shielding is the specification that matters at this length, not the connector plating. Be clear about the ceiling before you buy: 10.2 Gbps covers 4K and 1080p for streaming, set-top boxes and Blu-ray, and it does not cover 4K at 120 Hz for a current console — for that, buy an
HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable. See the rest of our
cables range for other lengths and standards.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You need a genuine 5 m run to a wall-mounted television or projector for 4K streaming, a set-top box or Blu-ray.
Skip it if
You are connecting a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and want 4K at 120 Hz — that needs an HDMI 2.1 Ultra High Speed cable.
Also consider
An HDMI 2.1 cable if a console is part of the setup, and cable clips or trunking to run five metres tidily along a wall.
