UGREEN HDMI 4K Cable Male to Male Black 1m

The UGREEN HDMI 4K Cable is a high-speed HDMI 2.0 digital video and audio interconnect designed for home entertainment, gaming, and professional display setups. At 1 metre in length, it suits desktop configurations where source and display sit in close proximity — connecting a gaming console to a television, a laptop to a monitor, or a streaming device to a UHD panel. It is a practical choice for anyone seeking a compact, reliable HDMI cord that handles 4K resolution without signal compromise.

Performance and Build

This cable carries the HDMI 2.0 specification, which supports a maximum bandwidth of 18Gbps. Consequently, it transmits 4K video at 60Hz (3840 × 2160 pixels) without frame-rate reduction or compression artefacts. The conductor core uses 28AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC), which maintains signal integrity across the full cable length. Triple-layer shielding — combining aluminium foil, braided shielding, and aluminium mylar — reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby wireless routers, power cables, and other electronic devices.

Signal degradation over this 1-metre run measures below 0.1%, ensuring the image and audio arriving at the display accurately reflect the source output.

The connector housings carry 24K gold plating, which resists oxidation and maintains consistent contact resistance over extended use. A nylon braided outer jacket provides protection against abrasion and everyday bending stress. Strain relief collars at both connector ends prevent internal conductor damage caused by repeated flexing at the termination point.

Audio and Display Format Support

Beyond 4K video, this cable carries a full suite of audio and HDR formats. It supports Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and 7.1 surround sound channels — relevant for home cinema users connecting a Blu-ray player or AV receiver. HDR10 and Dolby Vision compatibility ensures high dynamic range content displays with accurate brightness and contrast. Additionally, the cable includes Audio Return Channel (ARC) and HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) support, allowing two-way audio transmission and shared internet connectivity where the connected TV supports these features.

Colour depth reaches 48-bit with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, preserving colour accuracy for content creation workflows and high-fidelity gaming environments.

Backward Compatibility

The UGREEN HDMI 4K Cable is fully backward compatible with HDMI 1.4 and 1.3 ports. Therefore, it works across a broad installed base of devices without requiring adapters. Users connecting an HDMI 2.0 source to an older HDMI 1.4 display will negotiate the highest mutually supported standard automatically.

Certifications include RoHS, CE, and FCC compliance, confirming the cable meets international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Technical Specifications

Use Cases

The UGREEN HDMI 4K Cable 1m is suited to several common connection scenarios where a short, high-performance HDMI cord is needed.

Gaming consoles and UHD televisions represent the primary use case. The cable supports 4K@60Hz output from PS5, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One X to any HDMI 2.0-compatible 4K television. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures compatibility with copy-protected content from streaming apps and 4K Blu-ray discs.

Desktop and workstation monitor connections benefit from the cable’s colour accuracy. The 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and 48-bit deep colour support make it appropriate for connecting a Windows PC or Mac to a 4K monitor for graphic design, video editing, or colour-critical workflows. It is compatible with MacBook Pro models via USB-C hubs and adapters that include HDMI 2.0 output.

Home cinema and AV receiver setups are well served by the cable’s audio capabilities. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio passthrough allows lossless audio to travel from a Blu-ray player or streaming device to an AV receiver, then onwards to a television using ARC — all through HDMI connections.

Business presentation environments also find the 1-metre length practical for connecting a laptop to a nearby display or projector. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers, and the backward compatibility with HDMI 1.4 ports on older projectors removes the need for a separate cable.

Additionally, the cable works with Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, Roku 4K, Raspberry Pi 4, and a wide range of satellite and cable receivers that use standard HDMI Type A outputs.
