UGREEN DP115 80397 Active DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Cable 2M – 8K@60Hz, 4K@120Hz, HDR, HDCP 2.3 & DSC 1.2a

Description

The UGREEN DP115 80397 is an active, unidirectional DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable designed to connect a computer or graphics card with DisplayPort output to a television, monitor, projector, or VR display with HDMI input.

It supports resolutions up to 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 source hardware and an HDMI 2.1 display. Its active conversion chipset translates the DisplayPort signal into HDMI without requiring a separate adapter.

Support for Dynamic HDR, HDCP 2.3, DSC 1.2a, and Dolby 7.1 audio makes it suitable for high-resolution entertainment, gaming, professional displays, and workstation installations.

Signal direction is fixed: DisplayPort source → HDMI display only. The cable cannot convert an HDMI source to a DisplayPort monitor.

8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz

The UGREEN 80397 supports high-resolution and high-refresh-rate video when connected to compatible equipment.

*Available resolution, refresh rate, color depth, chroma, and HDR settings depend on the graphics hardware, DisplayPort output, driver, operating system, HDMI display, and DSC support.

Active DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 Conversion

Unlike a passive HDMI cable, the UGREEN 80397 contains an active conversion chipset.

The signal path is:

DisplayPort computer or graphics card → active conversion chipset → HDMI television or monitor

This allows a compatible DisplayPort source to operate with an HDMI display without using a separate converter box.

The active chipset normally receives operating power through the DisplayPort connection, so no separate USB power cable or software driver is required.

Unidirectional Connection

This cable operates in one direction only:

• DisplayPort connector: Connects to the source computer or graphics card.
• HDMI connector: Connects to the receiving television, monitor, projector, or VR display.

It does not work in reverse. Therefore, it cannot connect:

• An HDMI-output console to a DisplayPort monitor
• An HDMI laptop to a DisplayPort display
• A PlayStation or Xbox directly to a DisplayPort monitor
• An HDMI streaming player to a DisplayPort display

32.4Gbps DisplayPort Link Rate

The DisplayPort 1.4 input supports a published raw link rate up to 32.4Gbps.

This is the DisplayPort-side transmission rate. High-resolution modes such as 8K@60Hz may rely on Display Stream Compression and compatible graphics hardware.

The 32.4Gbps figure should not be confused with USB data speed or the 48Gbps maximum signaling rate associated with a native HDMI 2.1 connection.

DSC 1.2a Support

Display Stream Compression helps compatible DisplayPort 1.4 graphics hardware transmit high-resolution and high-refresh-rate video within the available link bandwidth.

DSC may be required for:

• 8K at 60Hz
• Certain 4K@120Hz color configurations
• Higher color depths
• HDR at demanding resolution and refresh combinations

The graphics card and its DisplayPort output must support DSC for modes that require it.

Dynamic HDR

The UGREEN 80397 supports Dynamic HDR transmission with compatible source hardware, content, software, and displays.

HDR can provide improved:

• Contrast
• Peak brightness
• Color depth
• Highlight detail
• Shadow detail
• Scene-by-scene image presentation

The cable passes supported HDR signals but cannot add HDR capability to an incompatible graphics card or display.

HDCP 2.3

HDCP 2.3 support allows the cable to carry compatible protected digital content.

HDCP must be supported throughout the connection:

Computer or graphics card → UGREEN 80397 → HDMI display

The cable does not remove or bypass HDCP protection. Unsupported displays, adapters, receivers, or software can result in a blank screen or playback error.

Dolby 7.1 Audio

The cable carries digital video and audio through the HDMI connection and is listed for Dolby 7.1 audio passthrough.

Available audio depends on:

• The computer’s audio hardware and driver
• The selected HDMI playback device
• The media or game
• The television, monitor, soundbar, or AV receiver

The cable passes the audio signal but does not decode or create Dolby surround sound.

Mirror and Extended Display Modes

The cable can be used with common computer display configurations.

Mirror mode

Displays the same image on the computer and external HDMI screen.

Extended mode

Uses the HDMI display as an additional desktop workspace.

Multiple-display installations

Compatible graphics cards may support several displays using separate outputs and cables. The cable itself does not split one output or daisy-chain multiple HDMI screens.

Unsupported Gaming Technologies

Although the cable supports 4K@120Hz, UGREEN’s exact-model information states that the following adaptive-gaming features are not supported:

• VRR – Variable Refresh Rate
• ALLM – Auto Low Latency Mode
• AMD FreeSync
• NVIDIA G-SYNC

It is suitable for fixed-refresh 4K@120Hz output, but buyers requiring adaptive synchronization should choose a converter specifically documented for that feature.

Construction

The UGREEN 80397 features:

• 28AWG tinned-copper conductors
• Tinplate and triple-layer shielding
• Aluminum-alloy connector housings
• Nylon-braided exterior
• Reinforced connector joints

These features provide protection against everyday bending, abrasion, and external signal interference.

Specifications

Compatible Source Devices

Suitable for devices with a compatible full-size DisplayPort output, including:

• Desktop computers
• Gaming PCs
• Workstations
• Dell OptiPlex desktops
• Dell Precision workstations
• Dell XPS desktops
• HP desktop computers
• HP ProBook models with full-size DisplayPort
• HP EliteBook models with full-size DisplayPort
• Lenovo desktop computers
• Lenovo ThinkPad models with full-size DisplayPort
• NVIDIA graphics cards
• AMD Radeon graphics cards
• Compatible Intel graphics solutions

A DisplayPort-shaped connector does not guarantee 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz. Check that the source supports DisplayPort 1.4, HBR3, DSC, and the intended output mode.

Compatible HDMI Displays

The HDMI end can connect to compatible:

• 8K televisions
• 4K 120Hz televisions
• HDMI gaming monitors
• UHD monitors
• Projectors
• HDTVs
• Supported VR displays
• AV receivers capable of passing the selected mode

For maximum performance, the display must have an HDMI input supporting the requested resolution, refresh rate, HDR format, and HDCP version.

Not Compatible With

This cable cannot be used directly with HDMI-output-only sources such as:

• PlayStation 5
• PlayStation 4
• Xbox Series X|S
• Xbox One
• Nintendo Switch Dock
• Apple TV
• Roku
• Fire TV Stick
• Blu-ray players
• HDMI-output laptops
• MacBooks without full-size DisplayPort output

These devices output HDMI, while this cable requires DisplayPort at the source end.

Installation

1. Connect the DisplayPort plug directly to the computer or graphics card.
2. Connect the HDMI plug to the television, monitor, or projector.
3. Select the appropriate HDMI input on the display.
4. Open the computer’s display settings.
5. Select mirror or extended mode.
6. Choose a resolution and refresh rate supported by both devices.
7. Enable HDR in the operating system if required.

Direct connection is recommended. Passing the cable through a docking station, hub, splitter, or additional adapter may prevent high-resolution modes from working.

Important Notes

To achieve 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz, the entire connection must support the selected mode:

Compatible DP 1.4 graphics source → UGREEN 80397 → compatible HDMI 2.1 display

If the expected mode is unavailable:

• Update the graphics driver.
• Confirm that the DisplayPort output supports DP 1.4 and DSC.
• Connect directly to the graphics card.
• Enable the display’s enhanced HDMI or deep-color mode.
• Test a lower resolution or refresh rate.
• Disconnect unnecessary adapters, hubs, or receivers.
• Confirm that the display’s selected HDMI port supports the required mode.

Some warmth around the active connector can be normal during high-resolution operation. Discontinue use if it becomes excessively hot or causes repeated signal problems.
