Durable 5-metre HDMI connection
UGREEN 50110 HDMI 2.0 Braided Cable, 5m
A full-size HDMI male-to-male cable for connecting consoles, computers, players and AV equipment to televisions, monitors, projectors or receivers, with up to 18Gbps and 4K at 60Hz on compatible HDMI 2.0 equipment.
Product introduction
Overview
UGREEN model 50110 is a 5-metre, full-size HDMI male-to-male cable built for digital video and audio between an HDMI output and an HDMI input. Its reach suits a television unit, meeting table, projector cart or other setup where a short one- or two-metre cable will not reach comfortably.
The exact India listing specifies HDMI 2.0, bandwidth up to 18Gbps, video up to 4K at 60Hz, HDR, 3D, HDMI Ethernet Channel and Audio Return Channel. Each optional feature still requires compatible equipment and the correct ports or settings; an HDMI cable can carry a feature but cannot add it to a device.
A braided outer jacket, gold-plated contact surfaces, tinned-copper conductors and triple shielding are specified. The connector housings use zinc-alloy and carbon-fibre styling. Route the 5m cable without tension or sharp folds so these construction features are not undermined by poor installation.
Quick reference
Key features
Connections and roles
One HDMI cable, two full-size HDMI ports
Source side
Use an HDMI output on a laptop, desktop graphics card, console, player, set-top box or AV source.
Display side
Use an HDMI input on a TV, monitor, projector or AV receiver. Select the matching input after connection.
Standard connector shape
Both plugs are full-size HDMI Type-A male; adapters are required for Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB-C or DisplayPort.
No format conversion
The cable carries an HDMI signal. It does not translate between HDMI and another video standard.
Cable construction
Braided exterior with shielded copper conductors
UGREEN specifies tinned-copper conductors, triple shielding and gold-plated connector contacts for maintaining the HDMI link. The woven outer jacket adds abrasion resistance and the metal/carbon-fibre connector styling supports repeated everyday handling.
Durable construction does not make a cable immune to damage. Keep the bend gradual, leave slack behind wall-mounted displays and unplug by holding the housing rather than pulling the braid.
- Five metres provides reach but should not be stretched across a walking path.
- Seat both HDMI plugs fully and support the cable near vertically mounted ports.
- Keep the cable away from crushing furniture, sharp metal edges and moisture.
HDMI 2.0 capability
Match the complete chain for 4K60 and HDR
For the stated 4K60 and HDR performance, the source output, display input, content, graphics settings and any AV receiver or switch must support the same format. Some televisions require an enhanced-input option to be enabled on a specific HDMI port.
The published 18Gbps figure is the HDMI link bandwidth ceiling. It is not an internet speed and does not guarantee a particular game frame rate or streaming quality, which also depend on the source and display.
- ARC works only through HDMI ports labelled for ARC and after audio-control settings are enabled.
- HEC is an optional HDMI function and is not a substitute for a normal Ethernet cable in most installations.
- This model is not specified for HDMI 2.1 maximum modes such as 4K120 or 8K.

Important limitations
Check before buying
Check these points before ordering or connecting:
- Confirm both endpoints have full-size HDMI ports and identify output versus input.
- Measure the route including bends and service slack; the listed length is 5m.
- Verify the chosen HDMI input supports the resolution, refresh rate and HDR mode you intend to use.
- Check every receiver, soundbar, switch, coupler or wall plate in the path for the same bandwidth and content-protection requirement.
- If ARC is required, use the ports specifically labelled ARC and enable the relevant settings.
- Do not buy this HDMI 2.0 cable for a requirement that specifically needs 4K120, 8K or other HDMI 2.1 maximum modes.
- Allow room for the comparatively substantial metal connector housings behind closely mounted equipment.
Function scope
What this product does
Use this model for the functions listed below.
- Carries digital HDMI video and audio between one output and one input.
- Supports up to 18Gbps and 4K60 when the complete HDMI chain supports those modes.
- Carries HDR, 3D, ARC, HEC, HDCP and supported audio formats between compatible devices.
- Provides a 5m physical route with braided cable protection and shielded conductors.
Function boundaries
What this product does not do
These boundaries prevent a connector or headline specification from being mistaken for a different function.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI, Mini HDMI or Micro HDMI to full-size HDMI.
- It does not create a higher resolution or refresh rate than the source and display support.
- It does not split or switch HDMI signals and is not a capture device.
- It does not provide HDMI 2.1-class 48Gbps, 4K120 or 8K capability.
- It does not guarantee ARC, HDR or HEC on equipment that lacks those functions.
Setup guidance
Setup and usability guidance
- Place both devices in standby before rearranging the cabling.
- Insert one full-size HDMI plug into the source HDMI output and the other into the receiving HDMI input.
- Route the 5m braid with gentle bends and enough slack to avoid sideways pull on either socket.
- Select the matching HDMI input on the display or receiver.
- Start with a stable, widely supported video mode, then enable 4K60, HDR and the required audio settings.
- For ARC, use the labelled ARC ports and enable ARC/CEC in the television and sound-system menus.
- If there is no picture, connect directly, reseat both ends and test another known-compatible HDMI input before adding intermediate equipment again.
Good practice
Do and avoid
What to do
- Measure the actual path before purchase.
- Hold the connector housing when inserting or removing a plug.
- Use the display input and source setting rated for the required mode.
- Test the cable directly before troubleshooting a receiver, switch or wall plate.
- Keep the cable dry, supported and free from sharp bends.
What not to do
- Do not route the cable under chair wheels or where people can trip over it.
- Do not pull on the braid or force the connector at an angle.
- Do not assume every HDMI port supports 4K60, HDR or ARC.
- Do not chain unverified adapters or couplers and expect full 18Gbps operation.
- Do not use this model for 4K120 or 8K requirements.
Safe operation and troubleshooting
Warnings and limitations
Use it safely and troubleshoot methodically
Safety / limitation 1
Actual resolution, refresh rate, colour format and audio depend on every device and setting in the HDMI path.
Safety / limitation 2
A 5m run needs relaxed routing; tension or a sharp bend at the housing can damage a port or cable.
Safety / limitation 3
ARC and HEC are optional HDMI features. The presence of an HDMI connector alone does not confirm support.
Safety / limitation 4
Keep the connector contacts free of dust and moisture, and stop using the cable if the jacket or housing is damaged.
Safety / limitation 5
The published 18Gbps is a signalling ceiling, not a guarantee of application performance or visible picture improvement.

Helpful answers
Product-specific FAQ
Does UGREEN 50110 support 4K at 60Hz?
Yes, up to 4K60 is specified, provided the source, display input, content, settings and any intermediate AV device support that mode.
Is this an HDMI 2.1 cable?
No. It is specified as HDMI 2.0 with up to 18Gbps. It is not the right model for 4K120, 8K or a 48Gbps requirement.
Can it carry HDR?
Yes, the exact listing includes HDR. A compatible HDR source, HDR content, display and enabled settings are also required.
Will ARC work with this cable?
The cable supports ARC, but both connected devices must use ARC-labelled ports and have their ARC/CEC settings enabled.
Does it provide internet through HDMI?
It supports HDMI Ethernet Channel where equipment implements HEC. Most TVs and players do not use HEC as a replacement for their normal Ethernet or Wi‑Fi connection.
Is it directional?
The current exact-SKU page does not specify a Source/Display direction. Connect between a normal HDMI output and HDMI input; do not infer active directionality from the older URL wording.
Does it need a driver?
No cable driver is required. The computer graphics driver, display firmware and application settings still determine the available modes.
Can I connect a USB-C laptop with it?
Only if the laptop already has a full-size HDMI output. A USB-C laptop without HDMI requires a separate compatible USB-C video adapter.
Why does 4K60 not appear?
Check the source capability, the exact display input, enhanced-input settings and every receiver or switch. Test a direct connection and a lower video mode first.
Can I use it with a projector?
Yes, when the projector has a compatible full-size HDMI input and the 5m route reaches without tension. The projector determines its maximum resolution.
What is included in the package?
The exact listing is for one UGREEN 50110 5m HDMI cable. No adapter, switch or coupler is specified as included.
