What it does well.
Key features
Product highlights
Up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz. Maximum model display mode on a completely compatible path.
3m. Cable length for planning equipment position and service slack.
Full-size DisplayPort male to HDMI Type-A male. The connector pair must match the source output and receiving display input.
Digital video + audio. One physical display link carries compatible picture and source-to-display sound.
No cable driver. Display configuration remains under the source device and operating system.
Exact-media audited.
Performance boundary: Digital video and source-to-display audio over one cable; media shows an integrated conversion processor, a DisplayPort release button and gold-colour contacts, with no separate power input.
Choose the right connection
Port and direction check
Full-size DisplayPort male to HDMI Type-A male
Strictly one-way: connect DisplayPort to the computer, graphics card or dock source and HDMI to the receiving television, monitor or projector.
Source side: A full-size DisplayPort output that supports conversion to an HDMI display. Mini DisplayPort, USB-C and HDMI-only source devices require a different product.
Display side: A standard HDMI Type-A input on the display. It cannot drive a monitor whose only intended input is DisplayPort from an HDMI source.
Before routing: inspect both physical ports under good light. Similar-looking ports can have different shapes, latches and signal roles, and an adapter cannot be assumed to preserve the requested maximum mode.
Display modes and performance
Resolution, refresh and signal
Maximum mode: Up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz.
1080p and other lower modes are available when supported by the source graphics output and HDMI display.
Digital video and source-to-display audio over one cable; media shows an integrated conversion processor, a DisplayPort release button and gold-colour contacts, with no separate power input.
A cable rating describes the link it can carry under suitable conditions; it does not guarantee application frame rate, force HDR, upgrade a graphics processor or repair an incompatible handshake. For stable setup, begin with a common 1080p mode and increase resolution or refresh only after the direct connection is working.
Construction and handling
Build and physical care
this model uses a passive cable form with moulded connector housings and no separate power brick.
Hold the connector housing—not the cable—when plugging or unplugging. Keep bend radii broad, avoid twisting at the strain relief and give longer runs physical support. Contact plating can help resist surface corrosion, but it cannot compensate for a bent port, contamination or a loose intermediary adapter.

- Gold-colour connector contacts
- Black round cable with moulded housings
- No external power connector
Use scenarios
Where the cable fits
Desktop graphics card to HDMI monitor. Use the 3m cable to connect one full-size DisplayPort output to one HDMI display without a separate dongle.
Office computer to meeting-room projector. Carry the presentation picture and compatible source audio to an HDMI projector.
Workstation to television. Mirror the desktop for viewing or extend it for a separate application window, subject to the host operating system.
Dock with full-size DisplayPort output. A dock can act as the source only when its DisplayPort output supports the selected mode and conversion path.
Direct single-display gaming. Connect a DisplayPort PC graphics output to an HDMI screen; this does not make HDMI-output consoles compatible in reverse.
Scenario rule: every example assumes that the named source output, receiving input and chosen display mode are supported by the actual equipment.
Setup and usability guidance
A reliable first connection
Use this sequence to establish a basic picture before enabling advanced modes.
Disconnecting: power down first when practical. If a DisplayPort plug has a release button, press it fully before pulling the connector straight out.
- Confirm the cable is UGREEN SKU 10203 and that the Full-size DisplayPort male to HDMI Type-A male pair matches the two devices.
- Power the source and display normally, then select the intended input on the receiving display.
- Connect the source end and display end without forcing, twisting or loading the port.
- Begin with a common 1080p output if the system does not immediately establish a picture.
- After the direct link is stable, select the intended mode up to Up to 3840 × 2160 at 30Hz.
- Choose the desired audio-output device and mirror or extended-desktop arrangement on the source.
- Add a receiver, switch, dock, wall plate or adapter only after the direct connection has been verified.
Compatible devices and systems
Compatibility explained
Compatible source types.
Compatible receiving devices.
No software driver or external power adapter is required. Windows, macOS and Linux can use the cable only when the hardware exposes a compatible full-size DisplayPort output; connector availability and OS display limits still apply.
Connector shape is only the first check: a port can be physically present while the source, dock, GPU, operating system or intermediary device still limits the available video mode or audio route.
- Desktop graphics cards with full-size DisplayPort output
- Desktop or laptop computers with a full-size DisplayPort output
- Docks and workstations with full-size DisplayPort output that supports the required conversion
- Professional source equipment with a compatible full-size DisplayPort output
- HDMI televisions and HDTVs
- HDMI monitors
- HDMI projectors
- Compatible HDMI receivers or switches used on the display side of the one-way path
What this product does
Supported jobs

- Converts a compatible full-size DisplayPort source signal for one HDMI display.
- Carries digital video and compatible source-to-display audio.
- Supports up to 4K30 plus common lower modes such as 1080p.
- Supports mirror and extended-desktop use selected by the host computer.
- Provides integrated conversion without a separate power lead or driver.
- Uses a latching DisplayPort plug to resist accidental disconnection.
What this product does not do
Important exclusions
Knowing the exclusions prevents the most common wrong-cable purchases.
Choose a different product when needed: USB-C video, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI-to-DisplayPort reverse conversion, VGA, DVI, signal splitting and long-distance active optical transport are separate product categories.
- It does not work from an HDMI source to a DisplayPort display.
- It does not connect HDMI-output game consoles to a DisplayPort monitor.
- It does not fit Mini DisplayPort, USB-C, Thunderbolt-only, DVI or VGA ports.
- It does not promise 4K60, 4K120, adaptive sync or a particular game frame rate.
- It does not split one DisplayPort output into two independent displays.
- It does not charge devices or carry ordinary USB data.
What to do
Best-practice checklist
A careful setup protects the ports and makes faults easier to isolate.
Record the working resolution and refresh rate for shared rooms or fixed desks. If another person later changes a receiver, switch, display input or operating-system setting, this baseline makes troubleshooting much faster.
- Check the direction labels before routing the cable.
- Connect DisplayPort to the source and HDMI to the receiving display.
- Seat the DisplayPort plug until secure and press its release button before removal.
- Start at 1080p if the display does not appear, then choose 4K30 only when supported.
- Test directly before adding an HDMI receiver, switch or wall plate.
- Update graphics drivers and choose the correct HDMI input on the display.
What not to do
Avoid these mistakes
Incorrect connector force and unsupported signal assumptions cause more failures than cable software.
Stop using the cable if a connector is bent, loose, cracked, unusually hot or shows exposed conductors. Continuing to test damaged hardware can harm the port and make an otherwise simple compatibility problem harder to diagnose.
- Do not reverse the cable.
- Do not force DisplayPort into HDMI or use an HDMI-source console as the source end.
- Do not pull the latching DisplayPort plug without pressing the release button.
- Do not sharply bend, crush, knot or staple the cable.
- Do not assume a MacBook or USB-C laptop has a full-size DisplayPort output.
- Do not advertise 4K60 or adaptive-sync operation for this model.
Warnings and limitations
Read before installation
The following limits apply even when both connectors appear to fit.
Permanent routes need extra care: test the entire cable at the real source, display and target mode before concealment, and follow local installation requirements for wall, ceiling or public-space cabling.
- Signal direction is the most important compatibility limit: DisplayPort source to HDMI display only.
- The gallery depicts conversion electronics, while some family-level references describe related lengths differently; this page avoids an active/passive label and states only the visible integrated processor and lack of external power.
- The ceiling is 4K30, not 4K60 or 4K120.
- No in-wall, plenum, LSZH, outdoor or fire-resistance rating is stated.
- An intervening dock, KVM, receiver or switch can restrict the available mode or affect HDCP handshaking.
- The DisplayPort latch must be released before unplugging to avoid damaging the source port.

model specification table
Specifications describe the cable itself. Resolution, refresh rate, HDR, audio formats, HDCP and multi-display behaviour remain negotiated system properties unless explicitly stated otherwise.
What is in the pack
The package is treated as a single-cable product. A source device, display, receiver, switch, wall plate, converter, installation conduit and external power equipment are not listed as included.
Inspect the cable and both connector housings before installation. Retain the model identifier so future replacements can be matched to the same length, connector pair and performance boundary.
Questions buyers ask.
Which connectors does UGREEN 10203 use?
It uses Full-size DisplayPort male to HDMI Type-A male. Check the printed port label and physical connector shape on both devices before purchase; USB-C, Mini DisplayPort, smaller HDMI formats and full-size DisplayPort are not interchangeable unless they are specifically listed.
What is the maximum video mode?
Can I use the cable in the opposite direction?
No. This model works only from a full-size DisplayPort source to an HDMI display. An HDMI-output console, streaming player or computer cannot use it to drive a DisplayPort-only monitor.
Does it carry audio as well as video?
Yes, it can carry compatible digital source-to-display audio alongside the video signal. The source must be configured to send audio over the selected display connection, and the receiving display or audio device must support the chosen format.
Can I mirror or extend my computer desktop?
Yes, when the computer GPU and operating system support the requested arrangement. Mirror and extend are host settings; the cable carries the negotiated display stream but does not create extra graphics capability.
Does it need a driver or separate power supply?
No cable-specific driver or separate power supply is listed. Connect the correct source and display ports, choose the receiving input, then use the operating-system display settings if the screen is not detected automatically.
Will it work with a game console?
Only if the console provides the required source connector and direction. Typical PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles output HDMI, so they cannot act as the source for a DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable.
Does it support HDR?
HDR is not promised as a standalone model feature on this page. If connected equipment offers an HDR mode, verify the reported output and display behaviour rather than assuming support from connector shape alone.
Can it provide an internet connection through the display cable?
No ordinary network connection is provided. This product is a display cable and does not replace Wi-Fi, an Ethernet cable or a USB network adapter.
Can I add an adapter, receiver, switch, dock or wall plate?
Possibly, but every added device becomes part of the signal chain and can change the available mode, direction, HDCP handshake or audio route. Test the cable directly first, then add one intermediary device at a time.
What should I try if there is no picture or the screen flickers?
Confirm the correct source and display ports, select the receiving input, reseat both plugs and begin at 1080p. Test a direct source-to-display connection, power-cycle the equipment and then raise the output mode gradually; persistent faults may indicate an incompatible mode, intermediary device or damaged port.
Can I install this cable outdoors or permanently inside a wall?
No outdoor, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated here. Use an appropriately certified installation cable when local electrical or building rules require one, and always test the complete route before concealment.
