Port and direction check
Choose the right connection
Full-size DisplayPort male source plug to HDMI Type-A male display plug, integrated 1m active cable
Strictly full-size DisplayPort source output to HDMI display input. The exact direction artwork depicts that physical source-to-display role; any wording that labels DisplayPort as an “input” or HDMI as an “output” describes the adapter path, not the device port roles. Reverse HDMI-source use does not work.
Inspect port labels and connector shapes under good light before routing. Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, full-size DisplayPort, USB-C, VGA and full-size HDMI are distinct interfaces even when two connectors appear similar at a glance.
Resolution, refresh and signal
Verified display modes and performance
Exact artwork supports 4K at 60Hz, “2K” at 60Hz and 1080p at 120Hz. The exact performance artwork, not broader title/body phrases, controls this page: 2K144 and 1080p240 are excluded. HDR and compatible audio depend on source, display, content and settings.
A maximum resolution or refresh rate is not forced by the product. The source GPU, source port, adapter or cable, receiving input and every intermediate device must negotiate a mode they all support.
When a high mode fails, establish a stable direct connection at a conservative timing, then raise one setting at a time while checking picture, colour and audio.

A reliable first connection
Setup and usability guidance
Follow a controlled sequence so connector, direction, display-mode and audio faults remain easy to isolate.
- Confirm the source has a full-size DisplayPort video output and the receiving device has an HDMI Type-A input.
- Connect the full-size DisplayPort plug to the computer or graphics card; use its retention mechanism correctly if present.
- Connect the HDMI Type-A plug to the receiving display and select that HDMI input.
- Begin at 1080p60, confirm a stable image and compatible audio, then raise the mode within the verified combinations.
- For 4K, choose 4K60 or lower; for “2K”, use 60Hz; for Full HD, do not exceed the exact 1080p120 artwork claim.
- Enable HDR only when source, display, content and operating-system settings all support it.
- For several screens, repeat with separate cables and capable graphics outputs rather than splitting this connection.
Compatibility explained
Compatible devices and systems
Required source side
- Full-size DisplayPort video output on a desktop, workstation, dock or graphics card
- The source port must provide video output, not merely share a similar connector shape
- Graphics hardware and system settings must support the requested display mode
Required display side
- HDMI Type-A input on a monitor, television, projector or compatible AV device
- The selected display input must be enabled and support the chosen timing
- Any separately required cable must be sound and correctly rated
System behaviour
- No product-specific application is required for ordinary display use
- Mirror and extended-desktop choices are controlled by the source operating system
- Resolution, refresh, colour, HDR and audio options depend on the complete signal chain
Important boundaries
- Not HDMI-source to DisplayPort-display
- Not Mini DisplayPort or USB-C at the source
- Typical HDMI-source consoles and Switch cannot use this cable as their output lead
- One cable drives one display; multi-screen layouts require additional outputs and cables
Compatibility is conditional. A device name or logo in product artwork identifies a use category, not universal support for every hardware revision, operating system, graphics mode, port direction or accessory chain.
Supported jobs
What this product does
Use SKU 15773 for these verified roles.
- Actively converts one full-size DisplayPort source output to one HDMI display input.
- Provides a complete 1m male-to-male cable without a separate HDMI lead.
- Supports exact-artwork combinations of 4K60, “2K”60 and 1080p120.
- Carries compatible digital audio, including listed 2.0/5.1/7.1-channel paths when endpoints support them.
- Carries HDR signalling when the entire source-to-display path supports it.
- Allows one screen to mirror or extend the desktop under source graphics control.
Each role stays within the product category described above; it does not imply conversion, amplification, routing or software support that is not listed.
Important exclusions
What this product does not do
These exclusions prevent the most common wrong-product purchases and unsafe installations.
- It does not work from an HDMI source to a DisplayPort monitor.
- It does not support or promise 2K144 or 1080p240 on this exact cleaned page.
- It does not add VRR, FreeSync, G-SYNC, DSC, eARC or a guaranteed HDCP version.
- It does not turn HDMI-output consoles or Nintendo Switch into DisplayPort sources.
- It does not drive six displays from one cable; each screen requires its own capable output and cable.
- It does not fit Mini DisplayPort or USB-C source sockets.
Best-practice checklist
What to do
Protect the connection and make later diagnosis straightforward.
- Identify both physical ports and confirm which device is the source before connecting anything.
- Start with a conservative display mode, then raise resolution or refresh only after a stable picture is established.
- Insert and remove connectors by their housings, keeping the lead free of tension and sharp bends.
- Select the intended input on the monitor, television or projector after the cable path is complete.
- Test the direct, shortest supported path before adding switches, wall plates, extensions or capture equipment.
- Keep the product dry, ventilated and accessible enough to inspect if picture or audio changes.
A labelled, supported and tested connection is easier to maintain than one hidden immediately after purchase.
Avoid these mistakes
What not to do
Most failures come from wrong interfaces, unsupported claims, strain or uncontrolled channel changes.
- Do not force a connector into a similar-looking port or use a direction opposite to the one stated for this model.
- Do not pull, kink, crush, staple or allow the cable or adapter to hang by either device port.
- Do not assume the maximum printed mode will work through an older source, display, cable or intermediate device.
- Do not hot-plug repeatedly while diagnosing; power-cycle the source and display after reseating the path.
- Do not install the product outdoors, underground or permanently inside a wall without the required published rating.
- Do not continue using damaged, loose, contaminated or unusually hot connectors or housings.
Stop using the product if a connector, housing, jacket or lead is cracked, loose, contaminated, unusually hot or exposes conductive parts.
Read before installation
Warnings and limitations
The following limits remain important even when the connector appears to fit.
- A printed maximum is a ceiling, not a forced mode. The source, graphics hardware, adapter or cable, receiving display and every intermediate connection must share the requested resolution and refresh rate.
- Direction is fixed: DisplayPort source output to HDMI display input. Reverse use is unsupported.
- Only 4K60, exact-artwork “2K”60 and 1080p120 mode combinations are asserted.
- Multi-monitor totals depend on the GPU, driver, operating system, output count and a separate cable for every display.
- Typical consoles and Switch expose HDMI output and therefore cannot serve as the source for this directional cable.
- No outdoor, direct-burial, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated for this exact product.

Problem-to-check sequence
Troubleshooting guide
| No picture | Confirm full-size DisplayPort at the source and HDMI at the display; reverse use cannot work. Select the HDMI input and restart both endpoints. |
|---|---|
| 4K60 is unavailable | Verify the DisplayPort output, HDMI input, GPU driver and display mode all support 4K60; test 1080p60 first. |
| 2K144 or 1080p240 cannot be selected | Those combinations are deliberately not promised; exact current artwork supports “2K”60 and 1080p120. |
| Picture works but there is no audio | Select the HDMI display as the source audio output and choose a format the receiving device supports. |
| HDR looks wrong | Disable HDR to confirm a stable SDR path, then check source, content, display input mode and operating-system HDR settings. |
| Only one screen works | One cable serves one display. Confirm the GPU supports the intended total screens and use a separate capable output and cable for each. |
Change one variable at a time. A known-good direct connection at a conservative display mode is the fastest way to separate a product fault from a port, direction, cable, graphics setting, display input or audio-path problem.
Collapsible answers
Product-specific FAQ
Open any question for a concise answer about exact SKU 15773.
Which direction does UGREEN 15773 work?
Full-size DisplayPort output on the source to HDMI Type-A input on the receiving display only.
Can I connect an HDMI laptop or console to a DisplayPort monitor?
No. HDMI-source to DisplayPort-display conversion is the reverse direction and requires a different active adapter.
What exact 4K mode is supported?
The current exact artwork supports up to 4K at 60Hz when the entire source-to-display path supports it.
What “2K” and 1080p modes are claimed?
The exact current performance artwork states “2K” at 60Hz and 1080p at 120Hz.
Why are 2K144 and 1080p240 excluded?
Those broader title/body phrases conflict with the exact current performance artwork, so the conservative exact-artwork combinations control this page.
Does it carry audio?
Yes, compatible digital audio can pass with the video, including listed 2.0/5.1/7.1-channel paths when both endpoints support the format.
Does it support HDR?
HDR wording appears in the exact current record, but source, display, content, selected mode and settings must all support it.
Does it support VRR, FreeSync or G-SYNC?
No such claim is safely established for this exact product, so variable-refresh operation is not promised.
Can one cable drive several displays?
No. One cable drives one HDMI display. Each additional display needs a separate capable graphics output and cable.
Will it work with PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch as the source?
Not in their usual HDMI-output role. This cable requires a full-size DisplayPort source output.
Will it fit a MacBook or USB-C laptop?
Only if the exact device or dock has a full-size DisplayPort video output. It does not plug into USB-C or Mini DisplayPort.

Exact-model verification
Research and source note
The exact current record and eight gallery items establish a 1m active unidirectional full-size DisplayPort-source to HDMI-display cable, 4K60, exact artwork labels for “2K”60 and 1080p120, compatible audio, HDR wording, aluminium-alloy housings, pure-copper-core artwork, nickel-plated connector wording and braided construction. The title/body’s broader 2K144 and 1080p240 phrases are excluded because the exact current performance artwork instead states 2K60 and 1080p120. One cable drives one HDMI display; multi-screen use requires multiple capable graphics outputs and separate cables.
