UGREEN 50109 3 m HDMI 2.0 Cable, 4K@60Hz

Overview

The UGREEN 50109 is a 3 m HDMI 2.0 cable for a console, PC or set-top box a few metres from the TV or projector. It carries up to 18 Gbps for 4K at 60 Hz when the source and the display support that mode, and it passes HDR, audio return and HDCP 2.2 content protection between devices that have them. It is a full-size HDMI male-to-male cable.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a route of up to 3 m between the source and the screen or AV device; measure with a little slack.
• Both the HDMI output and the HDMI input must support the mode you want. The cable cannot add 4K at 60 Hz, HDR, audio return (ARC), remote control (CEC) or HDCP compatibility to a port that lacks it.
• If you need HDMI 2.1 modes such as 4K at 120 Hz, 8K, VRR or eARC, this HDMI 2.0 cable is not specified for them; choose a cable that is.
• It joins two full-size HDMI ports only. It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA, and it does not split, switch or capture a signal.

Key features

• Up to 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, for 4K at 60 Hz on a compatible system.
• HDR (high dynamic range), 3D, audio return channel (ARC) and single-remote control (CEC) pass through when the connected system supports them.
• HDCP 2.2 (content protection) for protected streaming and disc content.
• HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) signalling, which only works with the rare equipment that supports it.
• Braided outer jacket, carbon-fibre-look zinc alloy connector shells and an integrated signal chipset.
• No cable driver: the source device’s own settings and graphics or audio drivers still apply.

What else you need

Only the two devices: a source with a full-size HDMI output and a TV, monitor, projector or AV device with a full-size HDMI input. No power supply or software is needed.

Installation

No installer is needed. Plug one end into the HDMI output of the source and the other into the HDMI input of the TV, monitor or projector, select the matching input on the display and set the resolution on the source. If the plugs carry printed Source and Display markings, follow them.

Before you buy

• The 4K at 60 Hz, HDR, ARC, CEC and HDCP figures depend on both devices supporting them; the cable cannot add them to ports that lack them.
• It is not specified as an HDMI 2.1 or 48 Gbps cable for 4K at 120 Hz, 8K, VRR or eARC.
• It is not an RJ45 network cable; HDMI Ethernet Channel needs equipment at both ends that supports it, which is rare.
• Follow any printed Source and Display markings on the plugs if present.
