Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort 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.
Choose the right connection
Port and direction check
Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort male
Both ends use the same full-size DisplayPort connector format. Route one end to the source and the other to the DisplayPort input on the receiving display.
Source side: A full-size DisplayPort output on the computer, graphics card or dock that supports the selected resolution and refresh rate.
Display side: A full-size DisplayPort input on the monitor, projector or receiving device. USB-C, Mini DisplayPort and HDMI ports need a different cable or adapter.
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 60Hz.
1080p and other common lower modes are supported when exposed by the source and display.
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.

- Release button on each latching DisplayPort plug
- Round PVC protective jacket
Use scenarios
Where the cable fits
Desktop graphics card to 4K monitor. Use the 5m reach for a direct full-size DisplayPort connection up to 4K60 on compatible hardware.
Laptop or dock to external monitor. A laptop or dock is suitable only when it exposes a full-size DisplayPort output, not merely USB-C.
Presentation computer to DisplayPort projector. Carry digital picture and compatible source audio to a projector with a matching DisplayPort input.
Mirrored large-screen viewing. Duplicate the desktop on a larger DisplayPort display when the operating system offers mirror mode.
Extended productivity workspace. Use the display as an extended desktop after selecting the arrangement and scaling in the host settings.
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 10213 and that the Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort 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 60Hz.
- 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 cable driver or external power is needed. Windows, macOS and Linux manage mirror or extended modes, but the actual resolution, refresh, colour format and audio path depend on the GPU, driver and display.
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 and laptop computers with full-size DisplayPort output
- Docks and workstations with a compatible full-size DisplayPort output
- Professional source equipment using a full-size DisplayPort output
- DisplayPort monitors
- DisplayPort projectors
- DisplayPort-equipped large-format displays or HDTVs
- Other receiving equipment with a compliant full-size DisplayPort input

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 fit Mini DisplayPort, USB-C, Thunderbolt-only or HDMI ports.
- It does not convert DisplayPort into HDMI, DVI or VGA.
- It does not charge a laptop or carry ordinary USB data.
- It does not upscale content or increase the source GPU frame rate.
- It does not guarantee MST daisy-chaining, adaptive sync or a high-refresh lower-resolution mode not specified for this SKU.
- It does not split one source into multiple independent displays by itself.
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.
- Confirm both ports are full-size DisplayPort.
- Press the release button before removing either plug.
- Establish a basic image before selecting 4K60.
- Use the operating system to configure mirror, extend, scaling and audio output.
- Support the cable so the latching plug is not twisted by its own weight.
- Keep the route away from tight bends, crushing loads and sharp edges.
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 force the connector into HDMI or USB-C.
- Do not pull a latched DisplayPort plug without pressing the release button.
- Do not sharply bend, staple, crush or knot the cable.
- Do not assume the cable creates a DisplayPort output on a non-video USB-C port.
- Do not promise a mode the source GPU or display does not expose.
- Do not use it outdoors or in a wall without a separately documented installation rating.
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.
- 4K60 requires support from the source GPU, source port, graphics driver and receiving display.
- No in-wall, plenum, LSZH, outdoor or fire-resistance rating is stated for this SKU.
- The latching connector should always be released before unplugging.
- Adapters, KVMs, docks and intermediary devices can change the available mode or audio route.
- this product records do not establish adaptive sync, 1080p240, 1440p144 or MST behaviour for every length, so those are not promised here.
- At longer routes, broad bends and stable connector seating are especially important.

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 10213 use?
It uses Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort 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?
The physical connectors match at both ends, but the logical path still runs from a source output to a receiving display input. The cable does not turn an input into an output or create a signal where the device lacks one.
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.
