• NVIDIA GeForce RTX Gaming PCs
• AMD Radeon Gaming PCs
• 4K Gaming Monitors
• OLED Gaming TVs
• QLED Gaming TVs

For PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the relevant high-refresh HDMI mode is generally up to 4K@120Hz. Higher advertised modes such as 4K@144Hz and 4K@240Hz are intended for compatible PC and display configurations.

Dynamic HDR

Dynamic HDR support allows compatible equipment to transmit enhanced HDR information for supported movies, games, and other content.

It is ideal for:

• HDR Gaming
• UHD Movies
• Streaming
• OLED / QLED Displays
• Home Theater
• High-Resolution Video

The actual HDR experience depends on the source, content, and display.

eARC Audio Support

The cable supports eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) for compatible home-theater equipment.

eARC is particularly useful for connecting:

• Smart TVs
• Soundbars
• AV Receivers
• Home Theater Systems

It provides the bandwidth needed for advanced audio formats when supported by the connected equipment.

Dolby Audio Support

The cable supports transmission of compatible Dolby audio formats, making it suitable for immersive gaming, movies, Blu-ray playback, streaming, and home-theater systems.

3D Video Support

3D video transmission is supported when both the source device and display are compatible with the required 3D format.

Nylon-Braided Cable

The durable nylon-braided exterior provides additional protection against everyday bending and wear while helping reduce tangling.

This construction is well suited for gaming desks, entertainment centers, and frequently used AV setups.

Zinc-Alloy Connector Housing

The HDMI connectors feature a robust zinc-alloy shell, providing additional protection around the connector housing and improving overall physical durability.

3-Meter Cable Length

• Length: 3 meters
• Approximately 9.8 feet

The 3M length provides additional flexibility for larger gaming setups, wall-mounted TVs, entertainment centers, and connections where the source and display are positioned farther apart.

Specifications

*High-refresh-rate 4K modes require fully compatible source and display hardware.

Wide Compatibility

Suitable for HDMI-equipped:

• PlayStation 5 / PS5 Pro
• Xbox Series X|S
• Gaming PCs
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs
• AMD Radeon GPUs
• MacBook Pro 2021 and compatible HDMI-equipped models

• 4K TVs

• Gaming Monitors
• Projectors
• Blu-ray Players
• Streaming Devices
• AV Receivers
• Soundbars

Steam Deck & Nintendo Switch Compatibility

The Steam Deck does not have a built-in full-size HDMI output, so a compatible USB-C dock or adapter with HDMI is required.

The Nintendo Switch outputs HDMI through its dock. Using an 8K HDMI cable does not increase the console's native maximum output resolution.

MacBook Pro Compatibility

MacBook Pro models equipped with a standard HDMI port can connect directly.

MacBook models with only USB-C/Thunderbolt connectivity require a compatible USB-C/Thunderbolt-to-HDMI adapter or dock.

Important Note

To achieve 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, 4K@144Hz, or 4K@240Hz, the complete connection must support the selected resolution and refresh rate:

Compatible Source → UGREEN HDMI Cable → Compatible Display

For example, a 4K@60Hz TV remains limited to 4K@60Hz even when connected using this cable.

Likewise, the cable does not make a PS5, Xbox, Steam Deck, or Nintendo Switch output a resolution or refresh rate beyond the device's own capabilities.
