UGREEN HDMI 8K Cable Male to Male, Aluminium Shell, Braided, 2 m (80403)

Overview

The UGREEN 80403 is a 2 m HDMI 2.1 cable from the HD140 range, with full-size HDMI plugs at both ends, a braided black covering and aluminium plug shells. It carries up to 48 Gbps between a games console, gaming PC, media player or soundbar and a TV or monitor that supports high refresh rates or 8K. It is the cable to choose when a setup needs more bandwidth than a standard 4K at 60 Hz link.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it when the TV or monitor and the source both support 4K at 120 Hz or 8K at 60 Hz, or when a soundbar or receiver needs eARC.
• Older HDMI devices run at their own maximum, so it also serves as an everyday 4K cable.
• Both plugs are full-size HDMI, so it needs a full-size HDMI port at each end.

Key features

• HDMI 2.1 with up to 48 Gbps bandwidth.
• Up to 8K at 60 Hz or 4K at 120 Hz with compatible devices.
• High dynamic range (HDR) and immersive audio formats pass through when the equipment supports them.
• Enhanced audio return channel (eARC) on compatible devices, so a soundbar or receiver can take full-quality sound from the TV.
• Braided cable with aluminium shells, which resists wear where the cable is plugged and unplugged often.

What else you need

Nothing beyond two devices with full-size HDMI ports, such as a PS5, Xbox Series X, gaming PC, TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Before you buy

• TVs and receivers often support different modes on different HDMI inputs. Check which port is HDMI 2.1 and enable the enhanced or high-bandwidth mode in the TV settings.
• Set up a direct connection first, then add a receiver or switch and confirm it keeps the same picture and sound settings.
