Ugreen USB-C to DisplayPort 8K Cable 1m-UG- 25157

The UG-25157 represents a high-bandwidth video transmission cable implementing DisplayPort 1.4 protocol standards through USB Type-C connectivity. This cable facilitates direct connections between USB-C equipped devices and DisplayPort monitors without requiring intermediate adapters. Moreover, the CM556 architecture supports DisplayPort Alt Mode for seamless video signal conversion within the USB-C interface.

Ultra-High-Definition Video Transmission Architecture

The Ugreen UG-25157 cable delivers video signals at 8K resolution with 7680×4320 pixel dimensions operating at 60Hz refresh rates. This configuration provides approximately 33.2 megapixels per frame for unprecedented image detail reproduction. Additionally, backward compatibility maintains support for 4K content at 240Hz and 2K resolutions at 240Hz for high-refresh-rate gaming applications.

Data transmission occurs through a 32.4 Gbps bandwidth pipeline that exceeds DisplayPort 1.2 specifications by 50 percent. This increased bandwidth capacity eliminates compression artifacts during ultra-high-definition content delivery. Furthermore, the cable length measures precisely 1 meter (105 centimeters) with a 4.43mm diameter construction optimized for desktop connectivity scenarios.

Gaming Performance Optimization Features

Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology synchronizes display refresh cycles with graphics processing unit frame output. The Ugreen UG-25157 eliminates screen tearing artifacts during gameplay by dynamically adjusting monitor refresh intervals. This functionality operates across FreeSync and G-Sync compatible display ecosystems without proprietary hardware requirements.

Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) automatically configures connected displays for reduced input lag during gaming sessions. The cable signals ALLM-compatible monitors to bypass image processing algorithms that introduce frame delays. Therefore, competitive gamers benefit from faster response times between controller input and on-screen action.

Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms monitor signal integrity across the cable’s transmission path. The UG-25157 detects and corrects data corruption before video artifacts become visible on connected displays. This error correction mechanism maintains stable picture quality even in electrically noisy environments.
