How to read the video rating
Model guidance
Cable ceiling and actual device result are different. 8K60 and 4K240 are ceiling modes, not defaults. The USB-C source, GPU, operating system, monitor, colour format and Display Stream Compression support decide the actual result.
- 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.
- A USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output is required. A charge-only or data-only USB-C port will not work.
- 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
DisplayPort 1.4 / HBR3 link. For this SKU or its official model family; connected equipment must support it.
HDR-compatible video pass-through. Requires compatible source, display and settings.
VRR, AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC where the complete system supports them. Requires compatible source, display and settings.
MST transport for compatible Windows and monitor chains. Requires compatible source, display and settings.
Mirror, extend, supported clamshell and Samsung DeX modes. Requires compatible source, display and settings.
Digital audio from source to display. Requires compatible source, display and settings.
A cable cannot upscale content, generate frames or add a feature absent from the source or display.
Construction and routing
Model guidance
Build and handling guidance. Aluminium-alloy connector housings, braided nylon outer jacket, tinned-copper conductors and triple shielding are stated on the official page. The live gallery also shows reinforced joints and a direct USB-C-to-DisplayPort build.
- 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. MacBook, Windows laptop or compact desktop beside a DisplayPort monitor
Work and presentation. Compatible gaming handheld or laptop to a high-refresh DisplayPort display
Gaming or specialist display. USB-C iPad, iPhone or Galaxy device to a larger screen at the device-supported mode
Longer-term setup. Creator workstation to a colour-capable DisplayPort monitor
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: Confirm the USB-C source port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt video output.
- Step 2: Connect the USB-C plug to the source and the DisplayPort plug directly to the receiving monitor.
- Step 3: Select the monitor input, then choose the required resolution and refresh rate in the operating system or graphics control panel.
- Step 4: Enable HDR or adaptive sync only after a stable basic picture is established.
- Step 5: For MST or clamshell use, check the source operating-system rules and the monitor manual; the cable cannot create those functions by itself.
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.
- USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 MacBook, Mac mini, iMac and compatible Windows computers with video output
- Video-capable USB-C iPad, iPhone 15/16 series, Galaxy, Surface, XPS and similar devices at their supported modes
- Full-size DisplayPort monitors, gaming displays, ultrawide screens and projectors
- Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS and compatible mobile systems; display-mode support varies by host
Check before buying
Avoid the common mismatch
- The route suits 1m, including connector clearance and relaxed service slack.
- The ports match: USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male.
- Connect USB-C to the computer, tablet or phone and DisplayPort to the monitor. It cannot carry video from a DisplayPort source into a USB-C monitor.
- A USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output is required. A charge-only or data-only USB-C port will not work.
- 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
- Creates a direct USB-C-source-to-DisplayPort-display connection.
- Carries compatible digital video and source-to-display audio up to the cable ceiling.
- Passes HDR, adaptive-sync and MST signals only when every required device and setting supports them.
- Works without a separate driver or power adapter as a direct display cable.
- It does not work from a DisplayPort source to a USB-C monitor.
- It does not charge the source or transfer ordinary USB files and peripherals.
- It does not turn a charge-only or data-only USB-C port into a video output.
What to do
Care and installation practice
- Check the USB-C port specification before buying.
- Connect directly to the monitor when testing the highest mode.
- Update graphics drivers and verify the mode reported by the monitor.
- Grip the connector housings and leave a gentle service curve.
- Do not reverse the signal path.
- Do not use it as a USB charging or data cable.
- Do not sharply bend, crush, staple or pull the braided cable.
- Do not assume every USB-C phone, tablet or laptop can output 8K or a high refresh rate.
Warnings and limitations
Read before use
Capability limit. Highest modes normally require DisplayPort 1.4, DSC and compatible graphics hardware at both ends.
Compatibility caution. macOS generally does not provide independent extended desktops through an MST chain.
Gallery or claim conflict. Mobile devices frequently support fewer displays and lower modes than the cable ceiling.
Installation warning. No in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating is claimed; verify physical markings before concealed installation.

Questions buyers ask.
What is the video guidance for UGREEN 25157?
Up to 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz or 1440p at 240Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC equipment. 8K60 and 4K240 are ceiling modes, not defaults. The USB-C source, GPU, operating system, monitor, colour format and Display Stream Compression support decide the actual result.
Is the cable directional?
Connect USB-C to the computer, tablet or phone and DisplayPort to the monitor. It cannot carry video from a DisplayPort source into a USB-C monitor.
What ports and source capability are required?
USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male. A USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output is required. A charge-only or data-only USB-C port will not work.
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.
Does this cable charge a laptop or phone?
No. It is a dedicated display connection and does not provide USB Power Delivery or ordinary USB data transfer.
Can it drive more than one external monitor?
It can carry MST when the source, operating system and displays support it. Windows systems may allow independent MST displays; macOS generally does not.
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 25157 1m USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Devices, adapters and cable-management accessories shown in use images are not included.
