4K@60Hz UHD Video

The UGREEN 40408 supports smooth 4K UHD video at up to 60Hz with compatible equipment.

*The available resolution, refresh rate, HDR format and color depth depend on the source device, HDMI ports, display and system settings.

18Gbps HDMI 2.0 Bandwidth

HDMI 2.0 bandwidth up to 18Gbps provides the capacity required for 4K video, HDR content and multichannel digital audio.

This makes the cable suitable for:

• 4K@60Hz movies and streaming
• Gaming at supported HDMI 2.0 modes
• PlayStation consoles
• Xbox consoles
• Nintendo Switch
• Desktop computers and laptops
• 4K televisions
• Monitors and projectors
• Blu-ray players
• Home-theater equipment

HDR Support

HDR transmission allows compatible displays to present enhanced brightness, contrast and color information.

It can improve:

• Highlight detail
• Shadow detail
• Color reproduction
• Contrast
• Brightness
• Overall image depth

The source, content and display must all support a compatible HDR format.

Audio Return Channel

ARC allows a compatible television to return audio to an ARC-enabled soundbar or AV receiver through the same HDMI cable.

ARC requires:

• An ARC-compatible television
• An ARC-compatible soundbar or receiver
• Connection through ARC-labelled HDMI ports
• ARC and HDMI-CEC enabled in the device settings

This model supports standard ARC, not HDMI 2.1 eARC.

Digital Multichannel Audio

The UGREEN HD118 carries digital video and audio through the same connection.

Advertised audio-format support includes:

• Dolby Atmos pass-through
• Dolby TrueHD 7.1
• DTS-HD Master Audio
• Multichannel digital audio
• Stereo audio
• Audio Return Channel

Available formats depend on the source, content, television and connected sound system.

HDMI Ethernet Channel

HDMI Ethernet Channel allows compatible HDMI equipment to share a network connection without a separate Ethernet cable between those devices.

Both connected devices must support HEC. This cable does not replace a standard RJ45 network cable for equipment without HDMI Ethernet support.

HDCP 2.2 Support

HDCP 2.2 compatibility allows protected UHD content to pass between compatible source devices and displays.

Every device in the signal path—including AV receivers, switches and splitters—must support the required HDCP version.

3D Video Support

The cable supports 3D video transmission when used with compatible:

• Blu-ray players
• 3D televisions
• 3D projectors
• Gaming systems
• Computers and graphics cards
• Supported 3D content

Mirror and Extended-Display Modes

When used with a computer, the cable supports display modes provided by the graphics hardware and operating system.

Mirror Mode

Duplicates the computer screen on a television, monitor or projector. This is useful for movies, presentations, meetings and classrooms.

Extended Mode

Uses the external HDMI display as additional desktop space. This is useful for multitasking and productivity.

Durable Braided Construction

The UGREEN 40408 uses multiple layers to improve physical durability and protect signal transmission.

Its construction includes:

• 30AWG tin-plated copper conductors
• PE insulation
• Aluminium-foil shielding
• Protective internal mesh
• PVC layer
• Cotton or nylon braided exterior
• Reinforced strain relief
• 24K gold-plated contacts

The cable has an approximate outside diameter of 7mm and is rated to withstand more than 10,000 bends under the manufacturer’s test conditions.

Stable TMDS Signal Transmission

The cable uses TMDS digital signal transmission and multiple shielding layers to help reduce electromagnetic interference.

This construction is designed to reduce:

• Image flickering
• Audio interruptions
• Signal instability
• Electromagnetic interference
• Transmission errors

Installation Guidance

1. Confirm that both devices have standard HDMI Type-A ports.
2. Connect one end to the HDMI source.
3. Connect the other end to the television, monitor or projector.
4. Select the corresponding HDMI input.
5. Enable Enhanced HDMI or Deep Color mode if required for 4K@60Hz or HDR.
6. Configure the desired resolution and refresh rate through the source device.
7. Enable ARC and HDMI-CEC if using compatible audio equipment.

Avoid tight bends, crushing pressure and pulling the cable directly by its body.

Important Compatibility Notes

To achieve 4K@60Hz, the complete connection must support the selected mode:

Performance may be limited by:

• Source HDMI output
• Display HDMI input
• Graphics processor
• Operating-system settings
• AV receiver or soundbar
• HDMI switch or splitter
