UGREEN 1 m HDMI 2.0 Male-to-Female Extension Cable (10141)

Overview

The UGREEN 10141 is a 1 m HDMI extension cable with a full-size male plug at one end and a full-size female socket at the other. It adds a metre to an existing HDMI lead, or moves a port so a streaming stick or cable can plug in where it is easier to reach, and it spares a device’s own HDMI socket from repeated handling. It is a passive extension with no signal booster, and it carries up to 4K at 60 Hz as long as the total run stays within the published limit.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a short HDMI lead that falls just short, or a streaming stick that needs to sit clear of a crowded TV back panel.
• The total run decides the picture: for 4K at 60 Hz, the extension plus the connected HDMI cable must be 3 m or less; for 4K at 30 Hz, 5 m or less.
• Because it is passive, it cannot boost, regenerate, convert, split or switch the signal, and it does not give you a second display output.
• If you need a longer distance than these limits, use an active HDMI solution designed for it instead.

Key features

• Adds 1 m to a full-size HDMI connection, male to female.
• Up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60 Hz within the 3 m total-run limit, and 4K at 30 Hz within 5 m.
• 3D, audio return channel (ARC), single-remote control (CEC) and HDMI Ethernet Channel pass through with compatible devices.
• 30 AWG (wire gauge) tinned copper conductors with triple shielding and gold-plated contacts.
• Passive extension: no power supply or driver.

What else you need

An existing HDMI cable or a device with a built-in HDMI plug (such as a streaming stick) to plug into the female end, and the HDMI port you are extending. No power supply or software is needed.

Installation

No installer is needed. Plug the male end into the HDMI port being extended, then plug the HDMI cable or streaming stick into the female socket. Keep the combined length within the limits for the resolution you want.

Before you buy

• The combined length, not just the extension, controls the published 4K limit: 3 m total for 4K at 60 Hz, 5 m total for 4K at 30 Hz.
• Adapters, wall plates and receivers add further connections and may reduce the stable maximum format.
• ARC, CEC, HDR and HDCP depend on every component and setting in the signal path.
• It does not adapt Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA.
