UGREEN USB C to HDMI 2.1 Cable 8K@60Hz

This USB‑C to HDMI 2.1 cable from UGREEN turns a laptop, tablet or compatible phone into a high‑resolution external display with simple plug-and-play convenience. It is aimed at users who need smooth, high‑bandwidth video output for presentations, gaming or video editing and supports up to 8K@60Hz and high refresh 4K modes for sharper motion.

Key Points

The cable offers a unidirectional video connection from a device with USB‑C DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4/5 to an HDMI display. According to the manufacturer, it supports HDMI 2.1 features including dynamic HDR and HDCP 2.3, which helps maintain image fidelity and compatibility with protected content. Transmission speed is listed up to 48 Gbps, which enables higher refresh rates at 4K and 8K output when the host device and display also support those modes. Note that the cable requires a source that supports video output over USB‑C; it will not carry a signal from a standard USB‑C port that lacks DP Alt Mode.

Advantages

Build and materials focus on durability with a braided nylon jacket and tinned copper conductors to reduce interference and wear. The aluminium connector housings resist heat and corrosion, which helps with long‑term reliability. For users who move between workstations, the robust construction reduces the chance of frayed cables and loose connections. It also supports audio passthrough formats noted by the manufacturer such as eARC and Dolby features, which can simplify audio routing when connecting to AV receivers or soundbars.

Usage Recommendations

Before connecting, check that the computer or tablet’s USB‑C port advertises video output or Thunderbolt support to ensure compatibility. For gaming or demanding video workflows set the display resolution and refresh rate in the host’s graphics settings, since actual achievable modes depend on the GPU and monitor capability. For longer runs keep cable routing away from high‑EMI sources to maintain signal stability.
