Exact SKU 45431
UGREEN HD175 1.5m HDMI cable
A model-specific guide to the cable’s verified video, audio, compatibility, setup and safety limits. Maximum HDMI modes are carried only when the source, every intermediate device and the display all support and negotiate them.
Exact model and purpose
Overview
UGREEN 45431 is a 1.5 metres passive copper full-size HDMI Type-A male-to-male cable rated up to 48Gbps. Either plug may face the source.
It is listed for up to 8K60 and 4K120. Those are cable ceilings: the source, intermediate equipment, display, content and settings negotiate the actual resolution, refresh, HDR and audio.
Verified at a glance
Key features
48Gbps class bandwidth
Rated cable capacity, not internet speed or a guarantee that every connected port exposes every mode.
Up to 8K at 60Hz
Requires a compatible source, display, content path, firmware and selected signal format.
Up to 4K at 120Hz
The current exact product title and written specification verify 4K at 120Hz. A 4K240 phrase in the legacy URL handle and shared artwork is not used.
1.5m passive copper run

HDR and audio carriage
Carries Dynamic HDR, eARC, Dolby Atmos pass-through, DTS:X pass-through on compatible systems.
Resolution without guesswork
Video performance and bandwidth
Model 45431 is rated up to 48Gbps and up to 8K at 60Hz or 4K at 120Hz. Those labels describe the cable’s supported ceiling under compatible conditions; they do not force a source to output that mode.
A television or monitor may reserve its highest-bandwidth mode for selected HDMI ports or require an “Enhanced”, “Input Signal Plus”, “Deep Colour”, “8K”, “4K high frame rate” or similarly named input option. Consult the display manual because menu names vary.
- Any AV receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate, adapter, dock or capture device in the path must also support the selected mode.
Smooth modes need a complete compatible chain
Gaming and refresh-rate guidance
The cable has bandwidth for its verified high-refresh modes, but gaming functions and refresh rates remain controlled by the console or graphics card, game, display and settings.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X commonly target supported modes up to 4K at 120Hz. Even when this cable is rated for 4K at 120Hz, it cannot make a console or game output a refresh rate the console does not provide.
- Select the correct HDMI input and enable the display’s enhanced/high-frame-rate input mode.
The cable carries formats; it does not create them
HDR and eARC audio
Verified picture/audio features for this exact listing include Dynamic HDR, eARC, Dolby Atmos pass-through, DTS:X pass-through. The source, content, application, display and any AV equipment must support the chosen format.
Dynamic HDR or Dolby Vision requires compatible encoded content and an enabled display. An HDMI cable does not convert SDR to HDR and cannot add brightness, contrast or colour capability that the screen does not have.
- ARC fallback operates within the older ARC format limits when eARC is not available throughout the connection.
Non-directional everyday installation
Passive copper construction
Passive-copper HD175 cable with full-size HDMI Type-A male plugs, compact connector housings and a flexible black outer jacket.
Certification is not claimed because the shared gallery certification panel was not corroborated against the supplied retail package label/QR code.
- Outer construction: Black flexible outer jacket.
Practical connection planning
Use scenarios
Console to TV or monitor
Use the 1.5m run when both devices have full-size HDMI ports and the route reaches without tension.
PC or laptop to display
Connect a computer with a compatible full-size HDMI output; USB-C-only systems need an adapter or dock rated for the desired mode.
Media player to home cinema
Connect a streaming box or Blu-ray player to a television or AV receiver, within the capabilities of every port in the path.
Full-size HDMI Type-A fit
Compatible devices and systems
Sources
Consoles, GPUs, HDMI laptops, media players and AV receivers with full-size HDMI output.
Displays
TVs, monitors and projectors with full-size HDMI input at a mutually supported mode.
Audio equipment
Compatible receivers and soundbars; use labelled eARC/ARC ports for audio return.
Both ends are full-size HDMI Type-A male; this cable does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini/Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.
Connect, configure, verify
Setup and usability guidance
- Measure the route and confirm 1.5m reaches both ports without stretching or leaving either connector under sideways load.
- Connect either plug to the HDMI output on the source because this passive copper model is non-directional.
- Connect the other plug to the selected HDMI input on the display, receiver or soundbar and choose that input.
- Enable the display’s enhanced/high-bandwidth HDMI input mode where required, then select resolution, refresh rate and HDR on the source.
Important limitations
Check before buying
Confirm every point that affects your intended mode:
- The required route is suitable for 1.5m without tension, sharp bends or unnecessary excess.
- The source HDMI output and display HDMI input both support the intended mode, up to this model’s verified ceiling of 8K60 or 4K120.
- Any receiver, switch, splitter, capture device, dock, adapter, wall plate or extension between the endpoints supports the same bandwidth, HDR, HDCP and audio features.
- The source content, game, GPU/console firmware and display input settings support the requested resolution and refresh rate.
Scope and boundaries
What this product does
- Carries compatible digital HDMI video and audio between two full-size HDMI ports.
- Provides a cable path rated up to 48Gbps and up to 8K60 or 4K120 for compatible systems.
- Passes supported features from this exact listing, including Dynamic HDR, eARC, Dolby Atmos pass-through, DTS:X pass-through, HDCP 2.3/2.2 compatibility, 3D, HDMI Ethernet Channel on compatible equipment.
What this product does not do

- It does not upscale content, decode surround sound, generate extra frames or make an older HDMI port operate as a newer one.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA to full-size HDMI.
Care and installation practice
What to do
- Hold the connector housing when inserting or removing the plug; align it carefully with the HDMI port.
- Leave a relaxed service curve behind the display and support the cable so the port carries no weight.
- Update source and display firmware, use the correct high-bandwidth ports and verify the selected input mode.
What not to do
- Do not pull by the cable body, force a misaligned connector or leave the plug under lateral tension.
- Do not sharply bend, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or route beside heat or moisture.
- Do not advertise or select a mode beyond this exact model’s verified 4K120/8K60 ceiling.
Read before installation
Warnings and limitations
Maximums are negotiated
48Gbps, 8K60 and 4K120 are ceiling capabilities. The lowest-capability source, port, intermediate device, display, format or setting controls the result.
Protect the HDMI ports
The cable is flexible, but HDMI sockets are not load-bearing. Avoid tension, tight turns and pulling on the cable body.
Feature support is end to end
HDR, VRR, ALLM, eARC, HDCP and audio formats operate only when supported and enabled across every relevant device.
Adapters can lower the ceiling
USB-C docks, DisplayPort adapters, AV receivers, splitters, switches and wall plates may cap bandwidth or omit features even if this cable is capable.

Clear answers for this exact SKU
Product-specific FAQ
Does model 45431 support 8K at 60Hz?
It is listed for up to 8K60 when the source, display, HDMI ports, content path, firmware and selected signal format all support it.
What is the verified maximum 4K mode?
The verified ceiling is 4K at 120Hz. Actual availability depends on the source/GPU, display, port, colour format, settings and content.
Does 48Gbps guarantee the highest mode?
No. It is the cable’s maximum stated capacity. The full chain negotiates the actual link, and any lower-capability device or adapter can reduce it.
Is this cable directional?
No. It is a passive copper cable, so either full-size HDMI plug can be connected to the source or display.
Can it give a console 4K at 240Hz?
No 4K240 capability is claimed for this exact cable. A cable also cannot make a console or game output a refresh rate it does not support.
Does it support HDR or Dolby Vision?
It can carry the verified formats listed for this model, including Dynamic HDR. Compatible content, source and display are still required.
Can I use eARC with a soundbar?
Yes, when the television and soundbar or receiver both have compatible eARC ports.
Will it work with older HDMI equipment?
Yes, at the highest mode mutually supported by all connected devices. An older port does not gain newer HDMI capabilities by changing only the cable.
Can it connect directly to USB-C or DisplayPort?
No. Both ends are full-size HDMI Type-A male. A separate compatible adapter or dock is required, and that device may limit resolution or refresh rate.
What should I check if the high-refresh mode is missing?
Use the correct source and display ports, enable enhanced HDMI input mode, update firmware, set the desired mode in the source and remove intermediate adapters or switches for testing.
