How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Cable ceiling and actual device result are different. The longer 2m reach does not change the host requirement: the source, GPU, monitor, driver, colour format and DSC support determine the actual resolution and refresh rate.
- Model guidance: Up to 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz or 1440p at 240Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC equipment.
- Published rate: Up to 32.4Gbps raw DisplayPort 1.4 link rate.
- The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
- 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.
- Unidirectional: USB-C source to DisplayPort 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. Laptop on a desk to a DisplayPort monitor with extra routing room
Work and presentation. Compatible gaming handheld to a high-refresh DisplayPort 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: Verify DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt video support on the USB-C source.
- Step 2: Connect USB-C to the source and DisplayPort to the display.
- Step 3: Select the monitor input and establish a basic picture before raising resolution or refresh.
- Step 4: Enable HDR, VRR or MST only after the direct link is stable.
- Step 5: Check operating-system rules for MST, clamshell and mobile external-display modes.
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.
- Video-capable USB-C or Thunderbolt MacBook, Mac mini, compatible Windows PCs and Chromebooks
- Supported USB-C iPad, iPhone 15/16 series, Galaxy, Surface, XPS and similar devices
- Full-size DisplayPort monitors, gaming displays and projectors
- Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS and compatible mobile systems within their own display limits
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The route suits 2m, including connector clearance and relaxed service slack.
- The ports match: USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male.
- Connect the USB-C end to the video source and the full-size DisplayPort end to the monitor. Reverse DisplayPort-source-to-USB-C-display use is not supported.
- The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
- The desired mode stays within: Up to 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz or 1440p at 240Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC equipment.
- Any intermediate device supports the same video, audio and content-protection requirements.
What this product does
Scope and limitations
- Links a compatible USB-C source directly to a DisplayPort display over 2m.
- Carries digital video and source-to-display audio.
- Passes compatible HDR, HDCP, VRR, FreeSync, G-SYNC and MST signals.
- Works without a separate power adapter or display-cable driver.
- It does not work from DisplayPort source to USB-C display.
- It does not charge a laptop, tablet or phone or transfer ordinary USB data.
- It does not create video output on a charge-only USB-C port.
- It does not provide HDMI ARC/eARC or guarantee ALLM; conflicting gallery/body phrases are not used.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Confirm video support on the USB-C port.
- Route the 2m cable with gentle bends.
- Test the target mode in a direct connection.
- Keep graphics drivers and display firmware current where applicable.
- Do not reverse the connector direction.
- Do not use it as a charging or file-transfer cable.
- Do not crush, knot, staple or pull the cable.
- Do not assume phone, tablet and laptop display limits are identical.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Capability limit. Highest modes normally require DSC and compatible DisplayPort 1.4 hardware.
Compatibility caution. Independent MST extended displays depend on the host OS; macOS generally does not provide them through MST.
Gallery or claim conflict. gallery image 9 depicts the visually different 1m 25157 connector and was excluded.
Installation warning. No in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating is claimed.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the video guidance for UGREEN 25158?
Up to 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz or 1440p at 240Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC equipment. The longer 2m reach does not change the host requirement: the source, GPU, monitor, driver, colour format and DSC support determine the actual resolution and refresh rate.
Is the cable directional?
Connect the USB-C end to the video source and the full-size DisplayPort end to the monitor. Reverse DisplayPort-source-to-USB-C-display use is not supported.
What ports and source capability are required?
USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male. The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
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 cable driver or external power adapter is listed. The host graphics system may still need the correct driver and display settings.
Why was eARC omitted from this page?
Can it charge the connected USB-C device?
No. this cable is for display video and audio; it does not provide USB Power Delivery or ordinary USB data.
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?
