How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Cable ceiling and actual device result are different.
- Model guidance: Conservatively positioned up to 16K at 30Hz, 8K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz with compatible DSC equipment.
- Published rate: Up to 40Gbps UHBR10, as stated on the India page.
- Both devices need compatible full-size DisplayPort. DP 2.1/UHBR10, DSC and the requested mode must be supported across source, display, drivers and settings.
- A dock, KVM, receiver, switch, splitter, adapter, coupler, wall plate or extra cable can lower the final mode.
Audio and display features
Functions, plainly explained

Construction and routing
Model guidance
Build and handling guidance. The page lists 28AWG tinned copper, tinplate, triple shielding, aluminium-alloy housings, reinforced joints and a nylon-braided jacket. Pin 20 is disabled and supplies no power.
- No Source/Display orientation is published; connect a DisplayPort output to a DisplayPort input
- 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. High-end graphics card to a nearby 4K high-refresh monitor
Work and presentation. Creator workstation to a very-high-resolution DisplayPort panel
Gaming or specialist display. Gaming desktop to a compatible FreeSync or G-SYNC display
Longer-term setup. MST-capable workstation and monitor chain within available bandwidth
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 a compatible DisplayPort graphics output directly to the monitor input.
- Step 2: Enable the monitor’s DP 2.1/UHBR mode if its menu requires it.
- Step 3: Install current GPU drivers, then establish a stable base mode.
- Step 4: Enable DSC, HDR or adaptive sync only as supported by both devices.
- Step 5: For MST, calculate shared bandwidth and confirm each monitor’s input/output functions.
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.
- NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards with compatible full-size DisplayPort output
- Workstations and desktops with DP 2.1/2.0, DP 1.4 or earlier full-size ports
- DisplayPort gaming monitors, professional panels, ultrawide and high-resolution displays
- Backward operation with DP 2.0, 1.4, 1.3 and 1.2 equipment at lower mutually supported modes
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The route suits 1m, including connector clearance and relaxed service slack.
- The ports match: Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort male.
- Use one plug at the source graphics output and the other at the receiving DisplayPort input. The page states that pin 20 is disabled and supplies no power.
- Both devices need compatible full-size DisplayPort. DP 2.1/UHBR10, DSC and the requested mode must be supported across source, display, drivers and settings.
- The desired mode stays within: Conservatively positioned up to 16K at 30Hz, 8K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz with compatible DSC equipment.
- Any intermediate device supports the same video, audio and content-protection requirements.
What this product does
Scope and limitations
- Provides a 1m full-size DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort connection.
- Carries compatible digital video and source-to-display audio.
- Passes DSC, FEC, HDR, HDCP, VRR and MST signals when supported.
- Uses a disabled pin 20, so it does not send connector power.
- It does not power or charge a monitor through pin 20.
- It does not convert HDMI, USB-C, DVI or VGA.
- It does not guarantee 16K, 8K or 4K240 on hardware that lacks the required bandwidth and DSC.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Confirm DP version and DSC support on both devices.
- Use a direct connection for the highest modes.
- Check the monitor information screen for actual refresh and colour depth.
- Grip the metal housing and keep the braid in a gentle curve.
- Do not claim or expect HDMI eARC from this DP-to-DP cable.
- Do not rely on pin 20 for power.
- Do not force the plug or sharply bend the cable.
- Do not treat marketing ceilings as a guarantee for every GPU and monitor.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Capability limit. 8K refresh claims conflict between official body text and gallery; the lower 8K120 value is used here.
Compatibility caution. Official regional UGREEN pages also conflict on 40Gbps versus 80Gbps; India’s 40Gbps UHBR10 value governs.
Gallery or claim conflict. The body includes Dolby/eARC/ALLM language that is not relied on for this DP-to-DP product.
Installation warning. No in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating is claimed.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the video guidance for UGREEN 15383?
Is the cable directional?
Use one plug at the source graphics output and the other at the receiving DisplayPort input. The page states that pin 20 is disabled and supplies no power.
What ports and source capability are required?
Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort male. Both devices need compatible full-size DisplayPort. DP 2.1/UHBR10, DSC and the requested mode must be supported across source, display, drivers and settings.
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 does this page say 8K120 instead of 8K240?
Does pin 20 carry power?
No. The official page states that pin 20 is disabled, so the cable does not provide power through that pin.
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?
1 × UGREEN 15383 1m DisplayPort 2.1 male-to-male cable. Devices, adapters and cable-management accessories shown in use images are not included.
