How to read the video rating
Cable ceiling and actual device result are different
The longer 2m reach does not change the host requirement: the source, GPU, monitor, driver, colour format and DSC support determine the actual resolution and refresh rate.
- Exact-SKU 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.
- The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
- A dock, KVM, receiver, switch, splitter, adapter, coupler, wall plate or extra cable can lower the final mode.

Setup and usability guidance
- Step 1: Verify DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt video support on the USB-C source.
- Step 2: Connect USB-C to the source and DisplayPort to the display.
- Step 3: Select the monitor input and establish a basic picture before raising resolution or refresh.
- Step 4: Enable HDR, VRR or MST only after the direct link is stable.
- Step 5: Check operating-system rules for MST, clamshell and mobile external-display modes.
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.

Avoid the common mismatch
Check before buying
- The route suits 2m, including connector clearance and relaxed service slack.
- The ports match: USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male.
- Connect the USB-C end to the video source and the full-size DisplayPort end to the monitor. Reverse DisplayPort-source-to-USB-C-display use is not supported.
- The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
- 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.
Scope and limitations
What this product does
- Links a compatible USB-C source directly to a DisplayPort display over 2m.
- Carries digital video and source-to-display audio.
- Passes compatible HDR, HDCP, VRR, FreeSync, G-SYNC and MST signals.
- Works without a separate power adapter or display-cable driver.

Product-specific FAQ
What is the verified video guidance for UGREEN 25158?
Up to 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz or 1440p at 240Hz with compatible DisplayPort 1.4 and DSC equipment. The longer 2m reach does not change the host requirement: the source, GPU, monitor, driver, colour format and DSC support determine the actual resolution and refresh rate.
Is the cable directional?
Connect the USB-C end to the video source and the full-size DisplayPort end to the monitor. Reverse DisplayPort-source-to-USB-C-display use is not supported.
What ports and source capability are required?
USB Type-C male to full-size DisplayPort male. The USB-C source port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or compatible Thunderbolt 3/4 video output. USB-C shape alone does not confirm video support.
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.
Why was eARC omitted from this page?
eARC is an HDMI audio-return feature, while SKU 25158 terminates in DisplayPort. Conflicting legacy copy and gallery artwork were therefore not treated as a usable product function.
Can it charge the connected USB-C device?
No. This exact cable is for display video and audio; it does not provide USB Power Delivery or ordinary USB data.
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 25158 2m USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable. Devices, adapters and cable-management accessories shown in use images are not included.
