Overview
The UGREEN HD178 (45505) is a 20 m HDMI 2.0 cable that sends the signal over optical fibre, for a projector or TV across a large room fed from a player, PC or console. It carries up to 18 Gbps for 4K at 60 Hz when the source, the display and the content support that mode, and the optical path resists interference. It is directional: the Source end goes to the sending device and the Display end to the screen.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a run where an ordinary short copper HDMI cable is impractical, such as a conference room, auditorium or showroom.
- Because it is directional, you need to know which device sends and which receives before routing it.
- If you need HDMI 2.1 modes such as 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz, this HDMI 2.0 cable is not specified for them.
- It carries one source to one display. It does not split to several displays, switch inputs, scale resolution or capture video.
Key features
- Up to 18 Gbps HDMI 2.0 bandwidth, for 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz on compatible equipment.
- HDCP 2.2 (content protection) supported with compatible equipment, for protected streaming and disc content.
- Optical signal path resistant to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI), useful in rooms full of other equipment.
- Gold-plated contacts and alloy connector shells protect the active termination points.
- Powered through the HDMI connection: no separate external power adapter is specified.
What else you need
A source with a full-size HDMI output and a display or projector with a full-size HDMI input. No additional accessories are specified for this cable, and the active electronics draw their power from the HDMI ports.
Installation
For a run through walls, ceilings or conduit, an AV installer should fit it, keeping the Source and Display ends the right way round and testing the picture before the route is closed up. For a run along a skirting or behind furniture, you can plug it in yourself, keeping the direction right.
Before you buy
- It does not work in reverse if the Source and Display ends are swapped.
- It cannot be cut, spliced or terminated like passive copper cable or network fibre, so confirm the route needs 20 m.
- It is not specified for HDMI 2.1 modes such as 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz.
