UGREEN 5m DisplayPort 1.2 Cable, 4K@60Hz (10213)
A user-friendly connection guide covering verified performance, real setups, compatibility boundaries, safe handling and troubleshooting for the exact 5m model.
Product overview
Overview
UGREEN 10213 is a 5m DisplayPort 1.2 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. Both ends use the same full-size DisplayPort connector format. Route one end to the source and the other to the DisplayPort input on the receiving 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.

Maximum verified mode: Up to 3840 × 2160 at 60Hz.
1080p and other common lower modes are supported when exposed by the source and display.
DisplayPort 1.2 digital video with synchronized source-to-display audio, gold-plated contact wording, 28AWG OFC copper and triple shielding on the exact live description.
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.
- 28AWG oxygen-free copper wording on the exact listing
- Triple shielding with aluminium foil and braid shown on exact family artwork
- Gold-plated connector contact wording
- Moulded black connector housings
- Release button on each latching DisplayPort plug
- Round PVC protective jacket
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
Desktop graphics card to 4K monitor
Use the 5m reach for a direct full-size DisplayPort connection up to 4K60 on compatible hardware.
Laptop or dock to external monitor
A laptop or dock is suitable only when it exposes a full-size DisplayPort output, not merely USB-C.
Presentation computer to DisplayPort projector
Carry digital picture and compatible source audio to a projector with a matching DisplayPort input.
Mirrored large-screen viewing
Duplicate the desktop on a larger DisplayPort display when the operating system offers mirror mode.
Extended productivity workspace
Use the display as an extended desktop after selecting the arrangement and scaling in the host settings.
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 10213 and that the Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort 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.

No cable driver or external power is needed. Windows, macOS and Linux manage mirror or extended modes, but the actual resolution, refresh, colour format and audio path depend on the GPU, driver and display.
Supported jobs
What this product does
Use the cable for the following exact roles.
- Provides a direct full-size DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort link.
- Carries one digital video stream and compatible source-to-display audio.
- Supports up to 4K60 on a complete DisplayPort 1.2-compatible path.
- Supports mirror and extended-desktop modes selected by the host.
- Uses latching release-button plugs for a secure physical connection.
- Provides shielded copper construction without a separate power supply or driver.
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 fit Mini DisplayPort, USB-C, Thunderbolt-only or HDMI ports.
- It does not convert DisplayPort into HDMI, DVI or VGA.
- It does not charge a laptop or carry ordinary USB data.
- It does not upscale content or increase the source GPU frame rate.
- It does not guarantee MST daisy-chaining, adaptive sync or a high-refresh lower-resolution mode not stated for this exact SKU.
- It does not split one source into multiple independent displays by itself.
Best-practice checklist
What to do
A careful setup protects the ports and makes faults easier to isolate.
- Confirm both ports are full-size DisplayPort.
- Press the release button before removing either plug.
- Establish a basic image before selecting 4K60.
- Use the operating system to configure mirror, extend, scaling and audio output.
- Support the cable so the latching plug is not twisted by its own weight.
- Keep the route away from tight bends, crushing loads and sharp edges.
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 connector into HDMI or USB-C.
- Do not pull a latched DisplayPort plug without pressing the release button.
- Do not sharply bend, staple, crush or knot the cable.
- Do not assume the cable creates a DisplayPort output on a non-video USB-C port.
- Do not promise a mode the source GPU or display does not expose.
- Do not use it outdoors or in a wall without a separately documented installation rating.
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.
- 4K60 requires support from the source GPU, source port, graphics driver and receiving display.
- No in-wall, plenum, LSZH, outdoor or fire-resistance rating is stated for the exact SKU.
- The latching connector should always be released before unplugging.
- Adapters, KVMs, docks and intermediary devices can change the available mode or audio route.
- The exact product records do not establish adaptive sync, 1080p240, 1440p144 or MST behaviour for every length, so those are not promised here.
- At longer routes, broad bends and stable connector seating are especially important.

Collapsible answers
Product-specific FAQ
Open any question for a concise answer about SKU 10213.
Which connectors does UGREEN 10213 use?
It uses Full-size DisplayPort male to full-size DisplayPort 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?
Only if the console provides the required source connector and direction. Typical PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles output HDMI, so they cannot act as the source for a DisplayPort-to-HDMI or DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cable.
Does it support HDR?
HDR is not promised as a standalone exact-SKU feature on this page. If connected equipment offers an HDR mode, verify the reported output and display behaviour rather than assuming support from connector shape alone.
Can it provide an internet connection through the display cable?
No ordinary network connection is provided. This product is a display cable and does not replace Wi-Fi, an Ethernet cable or 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.
