How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Cable ceiling and actual device result are different. The active converter path is one-way. The official page also explicitly states that VRR, ALLM, FreeSync and G-SYNC are not supported, even though 4K120 is listed.
- Model guidance: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz on compatible source and HDMI display hardware.
- Published rate: Up to 32.4Gbps DisplayPort 1.4 input link rate.
- A compatible full-size DisplayPort graphics output is required. HDMI-source devices—including consoles that only provide HDMI—cannot use this cable as a reverse converter.
- A dock, KVM, receiver, switch, splitter, adapter, coupler, wall plate or extra cable can lower the final mode.

Construction and routing
Model guidance
Build and handling guidance. The page lists 28AWG tinned copper, tinplate, triple shielding, aluminium-alloy housings and a nylon-braided jacket. The live gallery clearly labels DP-source-to-HDMI-screen direction.
- Unidirectional active conversion: DisplayPort source to HDMI display only
- Plan a relaxed route and protect both connector housings from sideways pull.
- Test the intended mode before the route becomes hard to access.
- Do not infer an in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating unless it is printed on the supplied cable.
Use scenarios
Practical examples
Home and media. Desktop graphics card with DisplayPort output to an HDMI 2.1 monitor
Work and presentation. Workstation to an HDMI television for high-resolution presentation or media
Gaming or specialist display. DisplayPort PC to an HDMI projector
Longer-term setup. Multiple-display PC setup using separate graphics outputs and one cable per display
Setup and usability guidance
Connect • configure • verify
After setup, use the display information screen or operating-system display panel to confirm the resolution, refresh rate, HDR state and active audio device actually negotiated.
- Step 1: Connect DisplayPort to the source PC or graphics card.
- Step 2: Connect HDMI to the receiving television, monitor or projector.
- Step 3: Prefer a direct connection; the official page advises against an intervening dock or hub for this active path.
- Step 4: Select the HDMI input and establish a basic picture before choosing 8K60 or 4K120.
- Step 5: Verify the display-reported mode; leave VRR, ALLM, FreeSync and G-SYNC disabled because the page says they are unsupported.
Compatible devices and systems
Model guidance
Match connector shape, signal direction and port capability.
Examples do not guarantee every generation or port reaches the cable ceiling; check both device manuals.
- Desktop towers and graphics cards from AMD, NVIDIA or Intel with compatible full-size DisplayPort output
- Laptops and workstations with full-size DisplayPort output
- HDMI televisions, monitors, projectors and supported VR headsets
- Windows and other host systems able to output the requested mode through DisplayPort
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The route suits 2m, including connector clearance and relaxed service slack.
- The ports match: Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size HDMI Type-A male.
- DisplayPort connects to the source PC or graphics card and HDMI connects to the receiving display. It will not convert an HDMI source into a DisplayPort monitor signal.
- A compatible full-size DisplayPort graphics output is required. HDMI-source devices—including consoles that only provide HDMI—cannot use this cable as a reverse converter.
- The desired mode stays within: Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz on compatible source and HDMI display hardware.
- Any intermediate device supports the same video, audio and content-protection requirements.
What this product does
Scope and limitations
- Actively converts a DisplayPort source signal for an HDMI display.
- Carries compatible high-resolution video and source-to-display audio.
- Passes listed HDR, HDCP and DSC functions when supported by the complete system.
- Supports mirror and extended modes selected by the host computer.
- It does not work from HDMI source to DisplayPort display.
- It does not support VRR, ALLM, AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC.
- It does not make a PlayStation, Xbox, Switch or HDMI-output MacBook into a compatible source.
- One cable does not create six displays; every screen needs a supported graphics output and its own connection.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Confirm DisplayPort-source and HDMI-display direction.
- Connect directly before testing through any other hardware.
- Use the display information screen to verify 8K60 or 4K120.
- Support the active connector housings and braided cable.
- Do not reverse the cable.
- Do not use it for an HDMI-output console.
- Do not enable unsupported VRR/ALLM/FreeSync/G-SYNC features.
- Do not sharply bend, crush, pull or overheat the cable.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Capability limit. The official page explicitly excludes VRR, ALLM, FreeSync and G-SYNC.
Compatibility caution. 4K120 and 8K60 require the source GPU, DP output, active converter and HDMI display input to support the full mode.
Gallery or claim conflict. Docks, hubs, KVMs and adapters may cause handshake or capability limits; direct connection is recommended.
Installation warning. No in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating is claimed.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the video guidance for UGREEN 80397?
Up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz on compatible source and HDMI display hardware. The active converter path is one-way. The official page also explicitly states that VRR, ALLM, FreeSync and G-SYNC are not supported, even though 4K120 is listed.
Is the cable directional?
DisplayPort connects to the source PC or graphics card and HDMI connects to the receiving display. It will not convert an HDMI source into a DisplayPort monitor signal.
What ports and source capability are required?
Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size HDMI Type-A male. A compatible full-size DisplayPort graphics output is required. HDMI-source devices—including consoles that only provide HDMI—cannot use this cable as a reverse converter.
Will every compatible-looking device reach the maximum mode?
No. The source hardware, port version, graphics driver, operating system, display input, selected colour format and every intermediate device determine the negotiated result.
Does it need a driver or separate power adapter?
No separate driver or external power adapter is listed. The active conversion electronics operate through the connected ports, which must be compatible.
Does SKU 80397 support VRR, ALLM, FreeSync or G-SYNC?
No. The official page explicitly states that those adaptive-sync and low-latency features are not supported.
Can I use it with a PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch?
Not as a source cable. Those consoles output HDMI, while SKU 80397 requires a DisplayPort source and an HDMI display.
What should I check if there is no picture?
Verify connector direction and port type, select the correct display input, reseat both ends, test a direct connection, lower the resolution/refresh rate, and restart or update the graphics system if needed.
Can it be routed inside a wall or ceiling?
No concealed-installation rating is claimed here. Check the physical cable markings and local installation requirements before any in-wall, ceiling or conduit route.
What is included in the package?
