UGREEN MD112 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter, 1080p60 (10460)
Overview
UGREEN 10460 is a white one-way adapter for sending digital video from Mini DisplayPort or compatible Thunderbolt 1/2 output to an HDMI display. A separate HDMI Type-A male-to-male cable connects its female socket to the screen. It supports 1080p60 and 1920 × 1200 and can carry compatible digital audio when the source provides it.
What it does well.
Key features
Product highlights
White adapter. Format and length for planning the physical connection.
1080p60. Product capability, subject to the complete source-to-display path.
Mini DP / TB1–2 → HDMI. The defining connector, protocol or construction detail for this SKU.
One clear job. Converts one Mini DisplayPort or compatible Thunderbolt 1/2 video output to HDMI.
No hidden upgrade. It does not convert an HDMI source into a Mini DisplayPort display.
Maximum versus actual: Up to 1920 × 1200 and 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz. Compatible digital HDMI audio when the source Mini DisplayPort path provides audio. The selected mode also depends on the source graphics hardware, separate HDMI cable and receiving display. this SKU is Full HD, not 4K.
Choose the right connection
Port and direction check
Mini DisplayPort male; compatible Thunderbolt 1/2 video output to HDMI Type-A female; separate HDMI Type-A male-to-male cable required
One-way Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1/2 video source to HDMI display. It is not HDMI-source to Mini DisplayPort-display, and it does not fit USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 ports.
Inspect port labels and connector shapes under good light before routing. Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, full-size DisplayPort, USB-C, VGA and full-size HDMI are distinct interfaces even when two connectors appear similar at a glance.
Connection rule: never force a plug and never assume an adapter works in reverse or adds a display mode, audio format or protocol that the endpoints lack.
Display modes and performance
Resolution, refresh and signal
Up to 1920 × 1200 and 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz. Compatible digital HDMI audio when the source Mini DisplayPort path provides audio. The selected mode also depends on the source graphics hardware, separate HDMI cable and receiving display. this SKU is Full HD, not 4K.
A maximum resolution or refresh rate is not forced by the product. The source GPU, source port, adapter or cable, receiving input and every intermediate device must negotiate a mode they all support.
When a high mode fails, establish a stable direct connection at a conservative timing, then raise one setting at a time while checking picture, colour and audio.
Use scenarios
Where it fits
Older notebook to HDMI monitor. Connect a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1/2 computer to a standard HDMI-input monitor.
Presentation on a television. Send picture and compatible source audio to an HDMI television for a presentation or local media.
Meeting-room projector. Use a separately HDMI cable between the adapter and an HDMI projector.
Extended desktop. Add one HDMI screen and choose extend in the source display settings.
Mirrored instruction display. Duplicate the source screen for classroom, training or customer-facing use.
Legacy Mini DisplayPort workstation. Keep an older Mini DisplayPort computer useful with a modern Full HD HDMI display.
Scenario boundary: every example assumes the actual source output, signal direction, receiving input, graphics hardware and operating system support the requested use.
Setup and usability guidance
A reliable first connection
Follow a controlled sequence so connector, direction, display-mode and audio faults remain easy to isolate.
After setup: record the working input, resolution, refresh and audio route before adding more adapters, joins or switching equipment.
- Confirm the source has Mini DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort-shaped Thunderbolt 1/2 video output, not USB-C.
- Connect the adapter’s Mini DisplayPort male plug to the source.
- Attach a known-good HDMI Type-A male cable to the adapter’s HDMI female socket.
- Connect the other HDMI plug to the receiving display and select that HDMI input.
- Start at 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz and choose mirror or extend on the source.
- Select the HDMI device as the audio output only if the source hardware supplies audio over Mini DisplayPort.
- If the picture or sound fails, test a direct short HDMI path before adding switches, receivers or wall plates.

What this product does not do
Important exclusions
These exclusions prevent the most common wrong-product purchases and unsafe installations.
Choose another product when needed: use the correct directional converter, splitter, switch, capture device, audio route or installation-rated cable for functions outside this model’s role.
- It does not convert an HDMI source into a Mini DisplayPort display.
- It does not fit USB-C, Thunderbolt 3/4 or USB4 ports.
- It does not include the separate HDMI male-to-male cable required for use.
- It does not support 4K; the ceiling is Full HD.
- It does not guarantee audio from an older Mini DisplayPort source that provides video only.
- It does not split one graphics output across several independent displays.
What to do
Best-practice checklist
Protect the connection and make later diagnosis straightforward.
A labelled, supported and tested connection is easier to maintain than one hidden immediately after purchase.
- Identify both physical ports and confirm which device is the source before connecting anything.
- Start with a conservative display mode, then raise resolution or refresh only after a stable picture is established.
- Insert and remove connectors by their housings, keeping the lead free of tension and sharp bends.
- Select the intended input on the monitor, television or projector after the cable path is complete.
- Test the direct, shortest supported path before adding switches, wall plates, extensions or capture equipment.
- Keep the product dry, ventilated and accessible enough to inspect if picture or audio changes.
What not to do
Avoid these mistakes
Most failures come from wrong interfaces, unsupported claims, strain or uncontrolled channel changes.
Stop using the product if a connector, housing, jacket or lead is cracked, loose, contaminated, unusually hot or exposes conductive parts.
- Do not force a connector into a similar-looking port or use a direction opposite to the one stated for this model.
- Do not pull, kink, crush, staple or allow the cable or adapter to hang by either device port.
- Do not assume the maximum printed mode will work through an older source, display, cable or intermediate device.
- Do not hot-plug repeatedly while diagnosing; power-cycle the source and display after reseating the path.
- Do not install the product outdoors, underground or permanently inside a wall without the required published rating.
- Do not continue using damaged, loose, contaminated or unusually hot connectors or housings.
Warnings and limitations
Read before installation
The following limits remain important even when the connector appears to fit.
Permanent routes: test the complete real setup first and follow local electrical, building and workplace requirements.
- A printed maximum is a ceiling, not a forced mode. The source, graphics hardware, adapter or cable, receiving display and every intermediate connection must share the requested resolution and refresh rate.
- Some early Mini DisplayPort source hardware carries video but no audio; confirm the computer specification.
- USB-C-shaped Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 are physically different and unsupported.
- The current media establishes 1080p60/1920 × 1200 and explicitly does not establish 4K.
- Long HDMI-extension guidance is not a guarantee; cable quality and the selected mode control reliable distance.
- No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated for this product.
