A high-performance HDMI cable designed to deliver certified Ultra High Speed transmission for gaming and home cinema. Enjoy smoother gameplay and fuller, uncompressed audio when connecting consoles, PCs and soundbars. Is UGREEN HDMI 2.1 Cable the right choice for future-proofing your AV setup?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Image Quality: Sharp high-resolution video with support for high frame rates and HDR
  • Best for: Gamers and home cinema owners wanting future-proof connections
  • Not ideal for: Users who only need basic 1080p connections or legacy HDMI 1.4 setups

Smoother High-FPS Gaming – Thanks to 48Gbps Bandwidth

Certified 48Gbps Ultra High Speed HDMI bandwidth allows high-resolution signals to pass without downscaling, enabling supported displays to run higher refresh rates. The specification supports modern video modes up to the cable's maximum throughput.

High refresh-rate modes on compatible consoles and GPUs deliver visibly smoother motion, making fast-paced games feel more fluid and responsive.

Responsive Gameplay – With VRR and ALLM Support

Variable Refresh Rate synchronises the display frame output to the source to reduce screen tearing, while Auto Low Latency Mode switches the display into low-lag mode when a console is detected. Both are part of the HDMI 2.1 feature set.

Fewer visual artefacts and reduced input lag improve competitive play and make fast reactions more reliable on supported TVs and monitors.

Cleaner Home Theatre Audio – With eARC and HDCP 2.3 Compatibility

Enhanced Audio Return Channel expands audio bandwidth so uncompressed formats such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X can pass from TV to soundbar or AV receiver, while HDCP 2.3 maintains compatibility with protected content sources.

Uncompressed surround formats reach soundbars and receivers intact, delivering fuller, more detailed movie and music playback.
