UGREEN 10146 5m HDMI Extension Cable, Male to Female, 4K30
A 5m male-to-female HDMI extension for reaching an inaccessible port or relocating the connection point. It can be useful with a direct-plug streaming device, but its own length consumes the entire official 5m allowance for 4K30, so a longer chained setup should be treated as a lower-mode, test-before-install connection.
Fast purchase decision
Overview
Best suited to
Bring a wall-mounted or recessed HDMI port to an accessible location; Connect a streaming stick directly at the female end.
Choose it for
5m reach, full-size hdmi type-a male to full-size hdmi type-a female and Conditional 4K30.
Do not assume
The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.

How to read the video rating
Maximum capability is not a guarantee for every setup
The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
- Verified exact-SKU target: Up to 4K at 30Hz only when the total HDMI path does not exceed 5m.
- Published capacity: Up to 10.2Gbps.
- The source, display and selected ports must all support the requested mode.
- Receivers, switches, splitters, capture devices, docks, adapters, wall plates and extra cables may lower the result.
What the cable can carry
Audio and feature support
HDMI extension and port-relief use
The cable can transport the listed signal only when the source, content and receiving equipment support it.
conditional 4K30
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
1080p support
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
ARC
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
HDMI Ethernet Channel
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
3D
This is a pass-through capability; it must be available and enabled across the complete HDMI chain.
A cable does not decode Dolby or DTS audio, create HDR, generate extra frames or add ARC/eARC to an ordinary HDMI port. Those functions come from compatible devices, content and settings.
Exact-SKU guidance
Construction and routing
Flexible extension format
30AWG tinned-copper conductors, triple shielding, gold-plated connectors and a flexible black cable body.
- Passive extension; male end to the port being extended, female end accepts a standard HDMI male plug
- Plan gentle bends and protect the connector housings from pulling force.
- Do not infer an in-wall, plenum, LSZH or fire rating unless it is printed on the supplied cable.
- Test the exact intended mode before any route becomes difficult to access.

Setup and usability guidance
- Step 1: Confirm whether the female end will receive a direct-plug device or another cable.
- Step 2: Connect the male end to the full-size HDMI port being extended.
- Step 3: Connect only a standard full-size HDMI male plug to the female end.
- Step 4: For 4K30, do not exceed the official 5m total-path condition; this extension already accounts for 5m.
- Step 5: If adding a cable, start at 1080p and test the exact source, display and settings.
After setup, open the television or monitor signal-information page. It is the quickest way to confirm the actual resolution, refresh rate and HDR state received by the display.
Exact-SKU guidance
Compatible devices and systems
Match the connector and the port capability
- Full-size HDMI ports on televisions, monitors, projectors, computers and consoles
- Streaming sticks and other devices with a full-size HDMI male plug
- Standard HDMI male-to-male leads for tested lower-mode chains
- ARC-capable equipment when every port and cable in the chain supports ARC
Operating systems normally need no cable driver. A computer may still require the correct graphics driver and display settings, while a USB-C-only device needs a separate video-capable adapter or dock.
Avoid the common mismatch
Check before buying
- The required physical route really suits 5m, with enough slack but no tight coil or tension.
- Both connector ends match the intended ports: Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A female.
- The requested mode stays within the exact-SKU guidance: Up to 4K at 30Hz only when the total HDMI path does not exceed 5m.
- The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
- Every adapter, receiver, switch, splitter, wall plate or extra cable in the path supports the same video, HDCP and audio requirements.
- A concealed route does not require a safety rating that has not been verified for this cable.
Scope and limitations
What this product does
- Provides a 5m physical HDMI connection using full-size hdmi type-a male to full-size hdmi type-a female.
- Carries compatible digital video and audio within the verified Conditional 4K30 guidance.
- Passes supported functions such as HDMI extension and port-relief use, conditional 4K30, 1080p support, ARC when the complete system supports them.
- Moves an HDMI connection point and can reduce repeated handling of the original port.
What this product does not do
- It does not upscale content, create HDR, decode audio, generate frames or improve the native quality of a display.
- It does not add a resolution, refresh rate, ARC/eARC feature or HDCP version to a port that lacks it.
- It does not convert USB-C, DisplayPort, Mini/Micro HDMI, DVI or VGA.
- It does not boost or regenerate a weakened signal, and it is not a splitter.
Care and installation practice
What to do
- Check the exact SKU and length on the order and received package before installation.
- Add the length of every HDMI segment and compare the total with the published video-mode rule.
- Hold the connector housing—not the cable body—when plugging or unplugging.
- Test the intended video and audio mode with a direct connection before adding other devices.
What not to do
- Do not force a misaligned HDMI plug or pull a connector out by the cable.
- Do not treat a chained extension as an active signal booster or unconditional 4K connection.
- Do not sharply kink, knot, crush, staple, pinch under furniture or expose the cable to heat or moisture.
- Do not assume the cable upgrades the HDMI capability of a source, display, adapter or receiver.
Read before use
Warnings and limitations
Verified ceiling
A second HDMI cable makes the path longer than the published 5m condition for 4K30.
Installation caution
One exact gallery image advertises 4K60/18Gbps and another adds broader audio-format claims; both were excluded because they conflict with the exact 5m title/body limits.
Not a converter
This extension does not boost, split, convert or upscale HDMI.
Route and rating
No in-wall or fire rating is claimed.

Product-specific FAQ
How does the total-length rule affect the advertised mode?
The extension itself uses the full 5m allowed by the official 4K30 total-path rule. A male-plug streaming device may connect directly; adding another cable places the chain beyond the published 4K30 condition.
What connectors does it use?
Full-size HDMI Type-A male to full-size HDMI Type-A female. It does not fit Mini HDMI, Micro HDMI, USB-C, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA without a separate compatible adapter.
Can I attach another HDMI cable to the female end?
Physically yes, but the added cable increases the total path. Any added length exceeds the stated 5m condition for 4K30.
Which devices can I connect?
Use it with compatible full-size HDMI equipment such as Full-size HDMI ports on televisions, monitors, projectors, computers and consoles; Streaming sticks and other devices with a full-size HDMI male plug; Standard HDMI male-to-male leads for tested lower-mode chains.
What determines the actual picture mode?
The lowest-capability source, port, display, content format, setting and intermediate device controls the final mode.
Can I connect a streaming stick directly?
Yes, if it has a standard full-size HDMI male plug. A direct-plug device avoids adding another cable segment.
Can I route it inside a wall or ceiling?
No concealed-installation rating is claimed here. Check the physical cable marking and local requirements before any in-wall or ceiling route.
What should I check if there is no picture?
Reseat both ends, select the correct input, try a direct connection, lower the mode and verify every device and setting in the chain.
How should I care for the cable?
Use gentle curves, avoid crushing or pulling, grip connector housings, and keep the cable dry and away from heat.
What is included?
