UGREEN 25158 2 m USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable, 8K60

Overview

The UGREEN 25158 is a 2 m cable that connects a laptop, tablet or phone with a video-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt port straight to a DisplayPort monitor, gaming display or projector. It carries the full DisplayPort 1.4 rate of 32.4 Gbps for 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 240 Hz or 1440p at 240 Hz, with sound, HDR and adaptive sync. It works one way, from USB-C source to DisplayPort display.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a MacBook, Mac mini, Windows laptop, Chromebook, iPad, iPhone 15 or 16 series, Galaxy or Surface device whose USB-C port outputs video, driving a monitor with a full-size DisplayPort input.
• The USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3 or 4 video output. A charge-only or data-only USB-C port will not give a picture, and the connector shape alone does not tell you.
• Direction is fixed: USB-C source to DisplayPort display. It cannot connect a DisplayPort computer to a USB-C monitor.
• It carries video and audio only. It does not charge the laptop, tablet or phone and does not transfer ordinary USB data.
• 2 m suits a laptop on the desk and a monitor on an arm or stand, with connector clearance and some slack.

Key features

• 2 m long: USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male.
• DisplayPort 1.4 at the full HBR3 rate of 32.4 Gbps, for up to 8K at 60 Hz, 4K at 240 Hz or 1440p at 240 Hz with compatible Display Stream Compression (DSC) equipment.
• HDR-compatible video with HDCP 2.3 content protection pass-through.
• Passes variable refresh rate (VRR), AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC where the hardware supports them.
• Supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST), mirror, extend, supported clamshell modes and Samsung DeX.
• Digital audio from the source to the display.
• Triple shielding, aluminium alloy housings, reinforced joints and a nylon braided jacket.
• Plug and play, with no power adapter or driver.

What else you need

A USB-C or Thunderbolt port that outputs video (DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3 or 4) on the source, and a full-size DisplayPort input on the monitor. Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS and compatible mobile systems work within their own display limits. Any device in between must support the same video, audio and content protection.

Before you buy

• One way only: USB-C source to DisplayPort display.
• No charging and no ordinary USB data through this cable.
• It does not create video output on a charge-only USB-C port.
• It does not provide HDMI ARC or eARC and does not guarantee ALLM.
• The top modes need DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC support in both the source and the monitor.
