UGREEN 5 m HDMI 2.0 Braided Cable, 4K60 (50110)

Overview

The UGREEN 50110 is a 5 m braided HDMI 2.0 cable for connecting a player, PC or console to a TV or projector across the room. It carries up to 18 Gbps for 4K at 60 Hz with HDR when the whole HDMI chain supports those modes, and it passes audio return and HDCP content protection between devices that have them. It is a full-size HDMI male-to-male cable with tinned copper conductors and triple shielding.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a route of up to 5 m, measured with bends and some service slack; both devices need full-size HDMI ports.
• The HDMI input you use must support the resolution, refresh rate and HDR mode you want, and so must every receiver, soundbar, switch, coupler or wall plate in the path.
• If you need 4K at 120 Hz, 8K or other HDMI 2.1 modes, do not buy this HDMI 2.0 cable for that; it is not specified for 48 Gbps.
• The metal connector housings are comparatively substantial, so allow room behind closely mounted equipment.

Key features

• Up to 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, for 4K at 60 Hz on compatible equipment, with lower modes where the devices need them.
• HDR (high dynamic range) and 3D pass through on equipment that supports them.
• Audio return channel (ARC), HDMI Ethernet Channel and HDCP (content protection) where the devices implement them.
• Digital HDMI audio alongside the video; the format depends on the devices and the content.
• Tinned copper conductors with triple shielding and gold-plated contacts.
• Braided jacket with zinc alloy, carbon-fibre-style connector housings.

What else you need

Only the two devices: a source with a full-size HDMI output and a TV or projector with a full-size HDMI input. No adapter, coupler or switch is needed, and the cable has no driver or power supply.

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 you want ARC, use the ports specifically labelled ARC on the TV and soundbar or receiver and enable the relevant settings.

Before you buy

• It is not an HDMI 2.1 cable: no 48 Gbps, 4K at 120 Hz or 8K capability.
• It does not create a higher resolution or refresh rate than the source and display support, and it does not guarantee ARC, HDR or HEC on equipment that lacks them.
• It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, Mini HDMI or Micro HDMI, and it does not split or switch signals.
• Allow room for the metal connector housings behind closely mounted equipment.
