UGREEN MM142 50570 USB-C to HDMI Cable 1.5M – 4K@60Hz, HDR, 3D, HDCP 2.2, Thunderbolt 3/4 Compatible

Description

The UGREEN MM142 50570 is an active USB-C-to-HDMI cable designed to connect a compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt source directly to an HDMI television, monitor, projector, or AV receiver.

It supports resolutions up to 4K UHD at 60Hz and carries synchronized digital video and audio through a single connection. The integrated signal-conversion chipset eliminates the need for a separate USB-C adapter and HDMI cable.

Its nylon-braided jacket, aluminum-alloy connector housings, copper conductors, and multiple shielding layers provide a durable connection for entertainment, presentations, gaming, and extended desktop use.

4K@60Hz Ultra HD

The UGREEN 50570 supports detailed 4K UHD video at up to 60Hz when the source and display support the selected mode.

*Actual resolution, refresh rate, HDR availability, color depth, and chroma configuration depend on the source device, graphics hardware, USB-C port, operating system, HDMI display, and system settings.

USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode Requirement

The USB-C port on the source device must support video output through one of the following:

• DisplayPort Alternate Mode
• Thunderbolt 3
• Thunderbolt 4
• Compatible USB4 video output

Charging-only and data-only USB-C ports will not work. The USB-C connector shape alone does not guarantee video capability.

Check the device specifications for DisplayPort Alt Mode, Thunderbolt, or external-display support before purchasing.

Active Signal Conversion

The UGREEN 50570 contains an active IC chipset that converts the DisplayPort video signal supplied through USB-C into HDMI.

Connection path:

USB-C computer, tablet, or phone → UGREEN 50570 → HDMI display

The chipset receives power from the source connection, so no external USB power adapter is normally required.

Unidirectional Operation

The cable works in one direction:

• USB-C connects to the source device.
• HDMI connects to the receiving display.

It cannot convert an HDMI source into USB-C video. It therefore cannot be used to connect:

• An HDMI computer to a USB-C monitor
• A PlayStation or Xbox to a USB-C display
• An HDMI streaming player to a Thunderbolt monitor
• An HDMI-output Blu-ray player to a USB-C display

HDR Support

The cable supports compatible HDR video signals, providing enhanced:

• Contrast
• Brightness
• Color reproduction
• Highlight detail
• Shadow detail
• Image depth

HDR requires compatible source hardware, content, operating-system settings, HDMI input, and display.

3D Video Support

The UGREEN 50570 supports compatible 3D video transmission between a suitable USB-C source and an HDMI-equipped 3D display.

A compatible source, appropriate content, and a 3D-capable television or projector are required.

HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4

HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4 support allows compatible protected video to pass through the connection.

HDCP must be supported throughout the system:

USB-C source → UGREEN 50570 → HDMI display

Streaming-service policies, operating-system restrictions, and application limitations can still affect protected playback.

Digital Audio and Video

The cable carries compatible digital audio and video simultaneously.

Audio can be sent to:

• Televisions
• HDMI monitors with built-in speakers
• Projectors with audio capability
• AV receivers
• Sound systems connected through the display

Available audio formats depend on the source, content, operating system, display, and receiver.

Mirror and Extended Display Modes

Mirror mode

Shows the same image on the source device and external HDMI display.

Extended mode

Uses the HDMI monitor as additional desktop workspace.

MacBook clamshell mode

Compatible MacBooks can work with the lid closed when their external power, keyboard, mouse, and display requirements are met.

Samsung DeX

Supported Galaxy smartphones and tablets can display a desktop-style DeX interface on the HDMI display.

Huawei desktop mode

Compatible Huawei devices can provide their supported desktop interface on an external screen.

Durable Construction

The UGREEN 50570 features:

• Pure-copper internal conductors
• Triple-layer signal shielding
• Gold-plated connector contacts
• Aluminum-alloy connector housings
• Reinforced connector joints
• Flexible nylon-braided exterior

This construction helps protect the connection against everyday bending, abrasion, oxidation, and signal interference.

• Data-only USB-C ports without video output
• Micro-USB devices
• USB-A ports
• Lightning devices without a separate compatible solution
• PlayStation consoles as the source
• Xbox consoles as the source
• Nintendo Switch Dock as the source
• Roku, Fire TV Stick, or Apple TV hardware as the source
• HDMI-output Blu-ray players
• USB-C monitors expecting video through their USB-C input
• Many smartphones that do not support wired video output

What This Cable Does Not Do

• It does not charge the connected device.
• It does not provide ordinary USB data transfer.
• It does not work from HDMI to USB-C.
• It does not split one source across several displays.
• It does not switch between multiple sources.
• It does not provide separate optical or analog audio.
• It does not add video output to an unsupported USB-C port.
• It does not support 4K@120Hz or 8K.
• It does not provide HDMI 2.1 gaming features such as VRR or ALLM.

Installation

1. Connect the USB-C plug to the source device.
2. Connect the HDMI plug to the television, monitor, projector, or AV receiver.
3. Select the appropriate HDMI input on the display.
4. Open the source device’s display settings.
5. Select mirror or extended mode.
6. Choose a resolution and refresh rate supported by both devices.
7. Enable HDR if required.

A direct connection is recommended. Docks, couplers, extension cables, KVM switches, and additional adapters can lower the available resolution or cause signal-handshake problems.

Important Notes

To achieve 4K@60Hz, the complete signal path must support that mode:

Compatible USB-C video source → UGREEN 50570 → compatible HDMI display

If 4K@60Hz is unavailable:

• Verify that the USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode.
• Update the operating system and graphics driver.
• Connect directly without a hub or dock.
• Select an HDMI input that supports 4K@60Hz.
• Enable Enhanced HDMI, UHD Color, Deep Color, or the equivalent display setting.
• Test a lower resolution or refresh rate.
• Check the source device’s documented display limits.
