UGREEN HD175 45436 10 m HDMI 2.1 Cable, 8K60/4K120

Overview

The UGREEN 45436 is a 10 m HDMI 2.1 cable from the HD175 range, with full-size HDMI plugs at both ends. It carries up to 48 Gbps, enough for 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz, between a games console, PC, media player or AV receiver and a TV, monitor or projector. It is a passive copper cable that works either way round, and the length suits a projector or wall-mounted TV fed from an AV cabinet elsewhere in the room.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it when the TV or monitor and the source both support HDMI 2.1 modes such as 4K at high refresh rates, or when a soundbar or receiver needs enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
• Earlier HDMI equipment works at the highest mode both devices share, so it also serves as an everyday 4K cable.
• Both plugs are full-size HDMI. It does not fit USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA ports.
• At 10 m this is a long passive copper run. Confirm the ports, the signal format and any equipment in between rather than assuming every 48 Gbps mode will work in every setup.

Key features

• HDMI 2.1 with up to 48 Gbps bandwidth, for 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz when the whole chain supports it.
• Passes high dynamic range (HDR) signalling, eARC, Dolby-compatible audio pass-through and 3D when both devices support them, and runs with earlier HDMI equipment at the mode both share.
• Passive copper construction with a flexible black PVC jacket and reinforced full-size connectors, with no external power needed.
• Non-directional: either plug can face the source or the display.

What else you need

Nothing beyond a source with a full-size HDMI output and a display or AV device with a full-size HDMI input. For 8K or high refresh 4K, both devices and any receiver or switch between them must support that mode.

Before you buy

• The cable is 10 m from plug to plug. Choose a route that suits that length without tension, sharp bends or a tight coil of excess.
• Every adapter, receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate or extra cable in the path must support the same video, HDCP and audio features, or the mode drops to what the weakest part allows.
• The source content, game, console or graphics card firmware and the display’s input settings also have to support the resolution and refresh rate you want.
• The cable does not upscale, create HDR, decode audio or add a resolution, refresh rate, eARC or HDCP version to a port that lacks it. It is not an active repeater, fibre extender or network cable.
• No in-wall or concealed-route safety rating is stated for this cable.
