UGREEN 30 m HDMI 2.0 High Speed with Ethernet Cable, 4K@30Hz (10114)

Overview

The UGREEN 10114 is a 30 m passive HDMI cable with full-size HDMI plugs at both ends. It takes a picture from a PC, media player, set-top box, Blu-ray player or games console to a TV, large display, monitor or projector a long way across a hall, classroom or meeting room, at up to 4K at 30 Hz or 1080p at 60 Hz. It is a copper cable with no electronics, so it needs no power and works at the mode both devices share.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it for a long run where 4K at 30 Hz or Full HD at 60 Hz is enough, such as presentations, signage and video playback.
• It is not the cable for 4K at 60 Hz or gaming at high refresh rates. For those modes over a long distance, an active optical cable suits better.
• A long passive HDMI run is more sensitive to the strength of the source output, to any device in between and to connector condition than a short lead, so a direct connection gives the most reliable result.
• Both plugs are full-size HDMI, so it needs a full-size HDMI output and input.

Key features

• Supports 3840 x 2160 at 30 Hz or 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz, and 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, on a fully compatible direct path.
• Carries digital video and audio together, and falls back to a lower shared mode when the full chain cannot sustain the maximum.
• Passes 3D, audio return channel (ARC), CEC remote control and HDMI Ethernet Channel when both devices support them.
• Copper-based conductors, shielded construction, gold-plated contacts and moulded plug housings in a black PVC jacket.
• Passive 30 m cable with no external power connector, so there is nothing to plug in at either end but the HDMI plugs.

What else you need

Nothing beyond an HDMI source and an HDMI display. It does not include conduit, a pull sock, a signal tester or any adapter.

Installation

Test the cable with the real source and display before routing it permanently, because an installed 30 m run is difficult to replace. Start at 1080p on a direct connection, then raise the output mode.

Every coupler, wall plate, switch or receiver in the route adds another HDMI handshake and another point of signal loss, so keep the path as direct as you can.

No in-wall, plenum, LSZH, outdoor or fire-resistance rating is published for this cable.

Before you buy

• It does not amplify, repeat or equalise the signal, convert USB-C, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA, split one source to several screens, or upscale content.
• Optional HDMI functions such as ARC, CEC, 3D and Ethernet Channel need support at both ends; the cable cannot add them.
• If the picture sparkles, blanks or loses sync, reduce the mode and test directly before assuming the display is faulty.
