UGREEN 2m Active DisplayPort to HDMI Cable, 4K60 (15774)
Overview
The buying decision begins with the interfaces and application, not the largest printed number. Confirm that the physical ports, protocol, device software and complete route match this model.
What it does well.
Key features
Product highlights
2m. Format and length for planning the physical connection.
DP source → HDMI display. Product capability, subject to the complete end-to-end connection.
4K60 · 2K60 · 1080p120. The defining connector, protocol or construction detail for this SKU.
One clear job. Actively converts one full-size DisplayPort output to one HDMI display input.
No hidden upgrade. It does not work from an HDMI source to a DisplayPort monitor.
Maximum versus actual: Current performance artwork supports 4K60, “2K”60 and 1080p120. The title/body’s 2K144 and 1080p240 phrases are excluded because they conflict with the current performance artwork. Compatible HDMI audio pass-through; the body lists 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1-channel paths when endpoints support them.
Choose the right connection
Port and direction check
Full-size DisplayPort male source plug to HDMI Type-A male display plug, integrated 2m active cable
Strictly full-size DisplayPort output at the computer or graphics card to HDMI input at the monitor, television or projector. Reverse HDMI-source use is unsupported even though both ends are male.
Inspect labels and connector shapes under good light. Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DisplayPort, HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, USB-B and RJ45 are distinct; even matching USB-C sockets may support different data, power or video functions.
Connection rule: never force a plug and never assume an adapter, hub or switch works in reverse or adds a mode, power profile, audio format or protocol the endpoints lack.
Performance and signal path
Video, data, power and audio
A maximum resolution, refresh rate, data rate, link speed, pickup distance or wattage is a ceiling rather than a guaranteed result. The complete host, cable, power, peripheral and receiving-device path controls the working outcome.
When a high mode or combined setup fails, establish one conservative direct function first, then add load or raise one setting at a time while checking picture, data, power, network and audio behaviour.
Use scenarios
Where it fits
Graphics card to 4K television. Drive one compatible HDMI television from a full-size DisplayPort output up to 4K60.
High-refresh Full HD monitor. Use 1080p120 when both graphics output and HDMI input support that combination.
Workstation second display. Attach one HDMI monitor to an available full-size DisplayPort output and choose extend mode.
Projector presentation. Carry compatible picture and sound from a DisplayPort computer to one HDMI projector.
Home-theatre playback.
Multi-monitor workstation. Use one cable and one capable graphics output for each display; this cable does not split.
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, data, power, network and audio faults remain easy to isolate.
After setup: record the working ports, mode, power source, selected device and cable path before adding more peripherals, joins or switching equipment.
- Confirm full-size DisplayPort output at the source and HDMI Type-A input at the display.
- Connect DisplayPort to the computer or graphics card and HDMI to the receiving display.
- Select the correct HDMI input on the display.
- Begin at 1080p60 and confirm stable picture and audio.
- Raise only within the combinations: 4K60, “2K”60 or 1080p120.
- Enable HDR only when source, content, display and settings all support it.
- Use separate capable outputs and cables for additional screens.

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 work from an HDMI source to a DisplayPort monitor.
- It does not promise 2K144 or 1080p240 on the cleaned model page.
- It does not add VRR, FreeSync, G-SYNC, DSC, eARC or a guaranteed HDCP version.
- It does not turn HDMI-output consoles into DisplayPort sources.
- It does not drive several screens from one cable.
- It does not fit Mini DisplayPort or USB-C source sockets.
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.
- Confirm every physical port and its input/output role before making the connection.
- Begin with a direct, conservative setup and add higher modes or extra devices only after it is stable.
- Hold connector housings rather than cables and leave every small device port free of tension.
- Use correctly rated, undamaged external cables and power accessories where the product requires them.
- Change one variable at a time when troubleshooting so the limiting component remains identifiable.
- Keep the product dry, supported, ventilated and accessible for inspection.
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 plug into a similar-looking connector or assume all USB-C and HDMI-shaped ports have the same functions.
- Do not pull, crush, sharply bend, staple or let accessory weight hang from a host port.
- Do not treat a printed maximum as guaranteed performance from every source, cable, display or peripheral.
- Do not disconnect storage, video or power paths during an active transfer, firmware operation or write process.
- Do not use the product outdoors or permanently inside a wall without the required published rating.
- Do not continue using cracked, loose, contaminated or abnormally 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.

Questions buyers ask.
Which direction does it work?
Full-size DisplayPort source output to HDMI display input only.
Can HDMI source feed a DisplayPort monitor?
No. Reverse use requires a different active converter.
What 4K mode is verified?
Up to 4K at 60Hz.
What lower modes are verified?
Why are 2K144 and 1080p240 excluded?
Does it carry audio?
Compatible HDMI audio pass-through; the body lists 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1-channel paths when endpoints support them
Does it support HDR?
Only when the source, content, selected mode and display all support HDR.
Does it support VRR?
No VRR, FreeSync or G-SYNC claim is safely established.
Can one cable drive several screens?
No. One cable drives one HDMI display.
Will it work from a console?
Not from a typical HDMI-output console; the source must be full-size DisplayPort.
Does it need power or a driver?
No separate power connector or product-specific driver is stated.
