UGREEN 1m HDMI 2.0 Cable, 4K@60Hz, 18Gbps (10106)
A user-friendly connection guide covering verified performance, real setups, compatibility boundaries, safe handling and troubleshooting for the exact 1m model.
Product overview
Overview
UGREEN 10106 is a 1m HDMI 2.0 male-to-male cable for a direct digital display connection. It carries one negotiated picture and its associated audio between the exact connector types listed on this page, without a separate power supply or cable-specific driver.
The important buying check is not merely the cable length: confirm connector format, signal direction, output capability and the receiving display input. HDMI is a point-to-point digital link; either identical Type-A plug can be routed to the source or display.
The stated ceiling is a maximum rather than a forced output. HDMI and DisplayPort equipment exchange capability information, and the source normally selects a mutually supported mode. This description therefore separates what the cable carries from features that must already exist in the connected equipment.

Port and direction check
Choose the right connection
HDMI Type-A male to HDMI Type-A male
HDMI is a point-to-point digital link; either identical Type-A plug can be routed to the source or display.
Source side: An HDMI output on the source device and an HDMI input on the receiving display, switch, receiver or sound system.
Display side: The complete source–cable–display path must expose a common HDMI mode. A 4K television alone does not make every source output 4K60 or HDR.
Resolution, refresh and signal
Verified display modes and performance
Maximum verified mode: Up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz.
Common lower modes including 1080p are supported within the capabilities of both connected devices.
18Gbps HDMI 2.0-class video and audio, with HDR, 3D, ARC and HDMI Ethernet Channel functions available only where both connected devices implement the relevant feature.
A cable rating describes the link it can carry under suitable conditions; it does not guarantee application frame rate, force HDR, upgrade a graphics processor or repair an incompatible handshake. For stable setup, begin with a common 1080p mode and increase resolution or refresh only after the direct connection is working.
Build and physical care
Construction and handling
The exact model uses a passive cable form with moulded connector housings and no separate power brick.
- Full-copper conductor wording on the exact listing
- Black round PVC-jacketed cable
- Moulded HDMI Type-A connector housings
- Gold-colour contact plating visible in the exact gallery
- No active booster, detachable electronics or external power input
Hold the connector housing—not the cable—when plugging or unplugging. Keep bend radii broad, avoid twisting at the strain relief and give longer runs physical support. Contact plating can help resist surface corrosion, but it cannot compensate for a bent port, contamination or a loose intermediary adapter.
Where the cable fits
Use scenarios
Current-generation console to television

A reliable first connection
Setup and usability guidance
Use this sequence to establish a basic picture before enabling advanced modes.
- Confirm the cable is UGREEN SKU 10106 and that the HDMI Type-A male to HDMI Type-A male pair matches the two devices.
- Power the source and display normally, then select the intended input on the receiving display.
- Connect the source end and display end without forcing, twisting or loading the port.
- Begin with a common 1080p output if the system does not immediately establish a picture.
- After the direct link is stable, select the intended mode up to Up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz.
- Choose the desired audio-output device and mirror or extended-desktop arrangement on the source.
- Add a receiver, switch, dock, wall plate or adapter only after the direct connection has been verified.

Supported jobs
What this product does
Use the cable for the following exact roles.
- Carries one digital HDMI picture and its associated audio between compatible Type-A ports.
- Supports up to 4K60 and an 18Gbps link class on a completely compatible path.
- Passes HDR metadata and compatible multichannel audio formats without converting them.
- Can pass ARC, 3D, CEC and HDMI Ethernet Channel signalling when both endpoint devices support and enable those functions.
- Provides a short passive connection without a power supply or software driver.
- Works at lower common HDMI modes when the devices do not share the maximum mode.
These functions remain within one direct display connection. They are not evidence of charging, ordinary USB data, networking, signal splitting or format conversion beyond the connector path specifically described.
Important exclusions
What this product does not do
Knowing the exclusions prevents the most common wrong-cable purchases.
- It does not add HDMI output to a USB-C, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA port.
- It does not convert analogue video, resize an image or improve the source resolution.
- It does not split one source into two independent displays.
- It does not guarantee that every HDMI device supports 4K60, HDR, ARC or Ethernet Channel.
- It does not charge a laptop or transfer ordinary USB files.
- It does not replace a network cable unless both HDMI devices specifically support HDMI Ethernet Channel.
Best-practice checklist
What to do
A careful setup protects the ports and makes faults easier to isolate.
- Confirm that both ports are full-size HDMI Type-A.
- Choose a resolution and refresh rate supported by the source, display and any receiver or switch between them.
- Seat each connector fully and support attached equipment so the port is not carrying cable weight.
- Enable HDR, ARC or advanced audio only after a basic picture and sound are stable.
- Power-cycle the connected devices after changing the signal chain if HDMI handshaking stalls.
- Coil spare cable loosely and keep it away from sharp metal edges or concentrated heat.
Record the working resolution and refresh rate for shared rooms or fixed desks. If another person later changes a receiver, switch, display input or operating-system setting, this baseline makes troubleshooting much faster.
Avoid these mistakes
What not to do
Incorrect connector force and unsupported signal assumptions cause more failures than cable software.
- Do not force the plug into DisplayPort, USB or a smaller HDMI connector.
- Do not pull the cable by its jacket or connector housing.
- Do not crush, staple, knot or bend the cable sharply.
- Do not assume an older receiver or switch will pass the maximum video mode.
- Do not route it outdoors or inside a wall unless the installation rules separately permit this cable type.
- Do not interpret 18Gbps as an internet-transfer speed or guaranteed application throughput.
Stop using the cable if a connector is bent, loose, cracked, unusually hot or shows exposed conductors. Continuing to test damaged hardware can harm the port and make an otherwise simple compatibility problem harder to diagnose.
Read before installation
Warnings and limitations
The following limits apply even when both connectors appear to fit.
- The 4K60 and HDR ceiling requires support across the complete connection path.
- ARC, CEC and HDMI Ethernet Channel are optional endpoint functions, not automatic cable-created capabilities.
- No in-wall, plenum, LSZH, outdoor or fire-resistance rating is published for this exact SKU.
- A damaged, loose or contaminated connector can cause intermittent picture, audio dropouts or HDCP errors.
- Hot-plugging is normally supported by HDMI equipment, but powering down first is safer for hard-to-reach or tightly installed ports.
- The cable is passive and cannot overcome a source or display that does not expose a compatible HDMI mode.

Collapsible answers
Product-specific FAQ
Open any question for a concise answer about SKU 10106.
Which connectors does UGREEN 10106 use?
It uses HDMI Type-A male to HDMI Type-A male. Check the printed port label and physical connector shape on both devices before purchase; USB-C, Mini DisplayPort, smaller HDMI formats and full-size DisplayPort are not interchangeable unless they are specifically listed.
What is the maximum verified video mode?
The exact researched ceiling is Up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz. The source, graphics hardware, any receiver or switch, the cable path and the display must all expose a common mode, so the system may correctly negotiate a lower resolution or refresh rate.
Can I use the cable in the opposite direction?
The physical connectors match at both ends, but the logical path still runs from a source output to a receiving display input. The cable does not turn an input into an output or create a signal where the device lacks one.
Does it carry audio as well as video?
Yes, it can carry compatible digital source-to-display audio alongside the video signal. The source must be configured to send audio over the selected display connection, and the receiving display or audio device must support the chosen format.
Can I mirror or extend my computer desktop?
Yes, when the computer GPU and operating system support the requested arrangement. Mirror and extend are host settings; the cable carries the negotiated display stream but does not create extra graphics capability.
Does it need a driver or separate power supply?
No cable-specific driver or separate power supply is listed. Connect the correct source and display ports, choose the receiving input, then use the operating-system display settings if the screen is not detected automatically.
Will it work with a game console?
It can connect a console that has a standard HDMI output to a compatible HDMI display. The console, game, display and any receiver still determine the available resolution, HDR and refresh rate.
Does it support HDR?
HDR metadata can pass when the exact source, display, chosen resolution, colour format and any intermediary device all support HDR. The cable does not create HDR from standard-dynamic-range content.
Can it provide an internet connection through the display cable?
Only the optional HDMI Ethernet Channel can pass when both connected HDMI devices explicitly implement and enable that feature. Most ordinary setups still need Wi-Fi or a separate Ethernet connection; the cable is not a USB network adapter.
Can I add an adapter, receiver, switch, dock or wall plate?
Possibly, but every added device becomes part of the signal chain and can change the available mode, direction, HDCP handshake or audio route. Test the cable directly first, then add one intermediary device at a time.
What should I try if there is no picture or the screen flickers?
Confirm the correct source and display ports, select the receiving input, reseat both plugs and begin at 1080p. Test a direct source-to-display connection, power-cycle the equipment and then raise the output mode gradually; persistent faults may indicate an incompatible mode, intermediary device or damaged port.
Can I install this cable outdoors or permanently inside a wall?
No exact outdoor, in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire-resistance rating is stated here. Use an appropriately certified installation cable when local electrical or building rules require one, and always test the complete route before concealment.
Exact-model verification
Research and source note
The exact live title establishes the length, HDMI 2.0 class, 18Gbps ceiling, 4K60, HDR, Ethernet wording and full-copper construction. Older body copy contains a lower speed phrase, so the current exact title is used as the controlling identifier while optional HDMI features remain endpoint-dependent.
