Designed for discerning users who demand nothing less than perfection, this cable redefines what’s possible in home theater, high-fidelity gaming, content creation, and multi-display productivity environments.

Engineered for the 8K Frontier: Uncompromising Bandwidth and Signal Integrity

At its core, the Ugreen HDMI 2.1 cable supports a staggering 48 Gbps bandwidth, enabling true 8K@60Hz (7680×4320) or 4K@120Hz video transmission—capabilities that place it at the forefront of next-generation display technology. Unlike legacy HDMI 2.0 cables limited to 18 Gbps, this ultra-high-speed specification ensures seamless delivery of high-resolution, high-frame-rate content without compression artifacts, latency spikes, or signal degradation.

What sets this cable apart is not just raw bandwidth, but how it achieves reliability across demanding use cases:

• Dynamic HDR support ensures scene-by-scene optimization of brightness, contrast, and color—preserving artistic intent from source to screen.
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) eliminates screen tearing and stuttering during fast-paced gameplay, especially critical for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC gaming rigs.
• Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) automatically switches the display into low-latency mode when gaming, reducing input lag to imperceptible levels.
• Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Quick Media Switching (QMS) minimize delays during frame transitions and source switching—essential for competitive gaming and professional editing workflows.

These features are not theoretical; they are rigorously validated through certification by the HDMI Licensing Administrator, Inc., ensuring full compliance with the HDMI 2.1b specification. Each cable undergoes factory-level testing for signal integrity, impedance matching, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance—guaranteeing consistent performance even over extended lengths up to 5 meters.

Precision Craftsmanship: From Conductors to Shielding Architecture

The physical construction of the Ugreen HDMI 2.1 cable reflects a philosophy of precision engineering. Every layer serves a purpose—no component is redundant, no tolerance is excessive.

19-Gauge Oxygen-Free Copper Conductors: The Signal Backbone

The internal wiring utilizes upgraded 19-strand OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) conductors, each strand individually insulated and twisted in precise configurations. This design minimizes skin effect and reduces DC resistance, preserving signal strength and phase coherence across the entire frequency spectrum—from low-frequency audio return channel (ARC/eARC) signals to ultra-high-frequency 8K video data streams.

Triple-Layer Shielding + Four-Layer Braid: Defense Against Electromagnetic Noise

Interference is the silent killer of digital signals. To combat this, Ugreen implements a 3-layer shielding system combined with a 4-layer braided outer jacket:

• Layer 1: Aluminum foil shield (AL) around individual signal pairs—blocks high-frequency RFI/EMI.
• Layer 2: Woven copper braid (≥95% coverage)—provides mechanical durability and low-frequency shielding.
• Layer 3: Additional aluminum-mylar foil wrap over the entire bundle—creates a Faraday cage effect, eliminating crosstalk between differential pairs.

The outer braid is composed of tightly woven nylon-coated copper wires, offering superior tensile strength while maintaining flexibility. This prevents kinking, crushing, and micro-fractures that degrade signal over time—especially important in installations where the cable must navigate tight conduits or furniture legs.

Gold-Plated Connectors: Corrosion Resistance and Optimal Contact

The HDMI connectors feature 24K gold plating on all 19 pins—including the critical TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signaling) channels. Gold’s inert nature prevents oxidation, ensuring stable contact resistance (<0.1Ω) over thousands of insertions. The connector housing is precision-molded from reinforced polycarbonate, with integrated strain relief boots that absorb mechanical stress and prevent solder joint fatigue.

Visual Fidelity Beyond Expectation: True 12-bit Color Depth & BT.2020 Gamut

For creators, designers, and cinephiles, color accuracy is non-negotiable. The Ugreen HDMI 2.1 cable fully supports True 12-bit color depth (4,096 shades per channel), enabling smooth gradients and eliminating banding in high-dynamic-range content. When paired with compatible displays and sources, it delivers the full BT.2020 color space—covering approximately 75.8% of visible colors, far exceeding the sRGB and DCI-P3 standards used in most consumer devices.

This translates into tangible benefits:

• Photographers and videographers see accurate skin tones, shadow detail, and highlight roll-off during color grading.
• Gamers experience richer environmental textures and more realistic lighting effects in titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Last of Us Part I.
• Home theater enthusiasts enjoy film-grade reproduction—where the subtle gradations in a sunset or the texture of rain on glass are rendered with photographic realism.

Immersive Audio: eARC and Dolby Atmos Integration

Visual excellence must be matched by auditory depth. The cable fully supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), enabling lossless transmission of object-based audio formats—including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and MPEG-H 3D Audio—at bitrates up to 384 kbps. Unlike standard ARC, which compresses audio to PCM or Dolby Digital+, eARC preserves the full metadata and spatial information required for true 3D soundscapes.

When connected to an AV receiver or soundbar with eARC capability, the cable enables:

• Seamless passthrough of high-resolution audio from streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+).
• Direct routing of game audio with positional precision—critical for VR and immersive simulations.
• Unified control via CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), allowing one remote to manage power, volume, and input selection across multiple devices.
