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.

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 no-buckle connector design is intended to avoid accidental latch damage.
- 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. Tower PC under a desk to a 4K high-refresh monitor
Work and presentation. Creator workstation to a high-resolution professional display
Gaming or specialist display. Gaming graphics card to a compatible adaptive-sync screen
Longer-term setup. MST-capable multi-display workflow within available shared 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 the graphics DisplayPort output directly to the monitor input.
- Step 2: Enable DP 2.1/UHBR mode in the display menu when required.
- Step 3: Establish a stable base picture before selecting the highest mode.
- Step 4: Enable DSC, HDR or adaptive sync only when both devices support it.
- Step 5: For MST, confirm the source OS, GPU and monitor output-port support.
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.
- Compatible NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards with full-size DisplayPort
- Desktop and workstation DisplayPort outputs
- Gaming monitors, professional panels, ultrawide and high-resolution DisplayPort screens
- Backward operation with DP 2.0, 1.4, 1.3 and 1.2 equipment at mutually supported lower modes
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 DisplayPort male.
- Connect one plug to the graphics output and the other to the monitor input. The official page states that pin 20 is disabled and does not supply power.
- Both devices require compatible full-size DisplayPort. DP 2.1/UHBR10, DSC and the chosen mode must be supported end to end.
- 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 2m 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 and does not send connector power.
- It does not provide HDMI ARC/eARC; conflicting legacy wording is not used.
- It does not power or charge a monitor.
- It does not convert HDMI, USB-C, DVI or VGA.
- It does not guarantee top modes without compatible GPU, display, DSC and settings.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Confirm that the ports support DP 2.1/UHBR10 and DSC.
- Use the direct 2m path for the highest mode.
- Verify actual resolution, refresh and colour depth on the display.
- Handle the metal housings and braided cable gently.
- Do not expect HDMI eARC from a DP-to-DP cable.
- Do not rely on pin 20 for power.
- Do not crush, staple, knot or sharply bend the cable.
- Do not assume a listed ceiling overrides GPU or monitor limits.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Capability limit. 8K refresh wording conflicts; the lower gallery value of 8K120 is used.
Compatibility caution. Official regional UGREEN material conflicts on 40Gbps versus 80Gbps; India’s 40Gbps governs this page.
Gallery or claim conflict. Dolby/eARC/ALLM phrases in legacy copy are not relied upon.
Installation warning. No in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating is claimed.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the video guidance for UGREEN 15384?
Is the cable directional?
Connect one plug to the graphics output and the other to the monitor input. The official page states that pin 20 is disabled and does not supply power.
What ports and source capability are required?
Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort male. Both devices require compatible full-size DisplayPort. DP 2.1/UHBR10, DSC and the chosen mode must be supported end to end.
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 is the 8K guidance 120Hz rather than 240Hz?
What is the difference from SKU 15383?
The key difference is length: SKU 15384 is 2m, while 15383 is 1m. Buy by SKU and route length.
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 15384 2m DisplayPort 2.1 male-to-male cable. Devices, adapters and cable-management accessories shown in use images are not included.
