Overview
A 16 foot UGREEN HDMI 2.1 cable certified for 8K and 4K high refresh rate signal chains, built for long runs between a source device and a display rather than a short TV to soundbar hookup.
The seller copy leans on numbers rather than hype, and the numbers hold up: 48Gbps of certified bandwidth, HDCP 2.2 and 2.3 support, and eARC for passing lossless audio formats straight to a soundbar or AV receiver. An aluminum shell, nickel plated connectors and a nylon braid are aimed at surviving repeated bending on a cable this long, which matters more the farther it has to run behind furniture or along a wall.
- HDMI 2.1 certified, 48Gbps ultra high speed
- Supports 8K@60Hz and 4K@240Hz/120Hz
- HDCP 2.2/2.3, eARC, Dynamic HDR, Dolby/DTS:X pass-through
- Aluminum alloy shell with nickel-plated connectors
Who it's for
This suits anyone running a PS5, Switch 2, Mac mini or similar device into a display that actually supports 4K120 or 8K60, where a plain HDMI cable would cap the signal. It is not aimed at a simple 1080p or 4K60 TV setup that will never use the extra bandwidth.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Certified 48Gbps bandwidth for 8K60 and 4K120
- EARC passes lossless audio straight to a soundbar
- Reinforced aluminum shell and braided nylon jacket
- 16 foot length reaches across a room
- Overkill if your source tops out at 4K60
- Premium price versus a basic HDMI cable
- Benefits only show with 4K120/8K capable gear
Performance notes
The 48Gbps certification is what lets it carry 8K at 60Hz or 4K at up to 240Hz without dropping frames, and VRR plus quick media switching are meant to remove the blackout most people notice when a source device changes video mode. eARC runs over the same cable to send Dolby Atmos or DTS:X to a soundbar without a separate audio cable, and the aluminum shell and braided jacket target the fatigue point where long cables usually fail first, at the connector.
