UGREEN 25910 2 m HDMI 2.1 Cable, 8K60/4K240, 48 Gbps

Overview

The UGREEN 25910 is a 2 m HDMI 2.1 cable for linking a gaming PC or console to a fast TV or monitor on the same desk or shelf. It carries up to 48 Gbps, which is enough for 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz when the source, the display and anything between them support those modes. It is a passive copper cable with full-size HDMI plugs at both ends, and either end can go to the source or the display.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a setup where the console, PC or player sits up to 2 m from the screen; measure the route with a little slack and avoid tension, sharp bends or a large coil of spare cable.
• Both the HDMI output and the HDMI input must support the mode you want. The cable cannot add 8K, a higher refresh rate, HDR, variable refresh rate (VRR) or enhanced audio return (eARC) to a device that lacks it.
• If the signal passes through a receiver, switch, splitter, capture device, dock, adapter, wall plate or extension, each of those must also support the same bandwidth, HDR, HDCP and audio features.
• It joins two full-size HDMI ports only. It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA to HDMI.

Key features

• 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, for up to 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 240 Hz on supporting equipment.
• Passes Dynamic HDR (high dynamic range) for brighter, higher-contrast pictures from compatible content.
• Gaming features pass through when the console or PC and the display support them: variable refresh rate (VRR), auto low latency mode (ALLM), quick frame transport (QFT) and quick media switching (QMS).
• Enhanced audio return channel (eARC), so a TV can send full surround sound back to a soundbar or receiver that supports it.
• HDCP 2.3 (content protection) compatibility for protected streaming and disc content.
• Braided outer jacket for everyday handling.
• Passive copper construction: no external power is needed.

What else you need

Only the two devices: a source with a full-size HDMI output and a TV, monitor, soundbar or receiver with a full-size HDMI input. The cable needs no power supply, driver or software. To reach the HDMI 2.1 modes, the content, the game or graphics settings, the console or GPU firmware and the display input settings must all allow the resolution and refresh rate you want.

Installation

No installer is needed. Plug one end into the HDMI output of the console, PC or player and the other into the HDMI input of the screen or soundbar; either plug can go at either end. Route the cable without tension or sharp bends, select the matching input on the display and set the resolution and refresh rate on the source.

Before you buy

• The 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 240 Hz figures are cable ceilings, not guaranteed modes. The source, display, content, firmware and settings decide what you actually get.
• It does not upscale content, decode surround sound, generate extra frames or make an older HDMI port behave like a newer one.
• Package artwork can vary. Check that the cable you receive is marked 25910 and 2 m.
