UGREEN 40408 1 m HDMI 2.0 Cable, 4K@60Hz

Overview

The UGREEN 40408 is a 1 m HDMI 2.0 cable in a nylon braided jacket. It connects a set-top box, laptop, console or player that sits next to the TV, monitor or projector. It carries up to 18 Gbps, enough for 4K at 60 Hz with HDR, and supports audio return and HDCP 2.2 content protection.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a device on the same shelf or desk as the screen. 1 m will not reach across a room, so measure the route first.
• Carries 4K at 60 Hz, HDR and HDCP 2.2 when both the source and the screen support them. The cable does not add these to a device that lacks them.
• It is not rated for 48 Gbps modes such as 4K at 120 Hz, 8K or variable refresh rate (VRR). A console or TV that needs those modes needs a higher-rated cable.
• Both ends are full-size HDMI. It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini or Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.

Key features

• 1 m long with full-size HDMI Type-A male plugs at both ends.
• HDMI 2.0, up to 18 Gbps for 4K at 60 Hz.
• Passes HDR, 3D, audio return channel (ARC), CEC remote control, HDCP 2.2 and HDMI Ethernet Channel when both devices support them.
• Nylon braided round jacket with gold-coloured connector shells, for resistance to scuffing.
• No driver needed: the cable is plug and play, and picture and sound settings stay on the source device.

What else you need

Nothing beyond the two devices: a source with a full-size HDMI output and a screen or AV device with a full-size HDMI input. Any switch, receiver or wall plate between them must also support the mode you want.

Before you buy

• Follow any printed Source and Display markings on the plugs if present.
• It does not split one source to several screens, switch between sources, capture video or create a wireless link.
• It is not specified as an HDMI 2.1 or 48 Gbps cable, so 4K at 120 Hz, 8K, VRR and eARC-class bandwidth are not covered.
• HDMI Ethernet Channel only works with the rare equipment that supports it; this is not a network cable.
