UGREEN USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 8K Cable, 2m, for Compatible Monitor & Display Connections
Product Description
The UGREEN CM556 (part no. 25158) is a 2 metre USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable that drives a monitor at up to 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz or 2K@240Hz straight from a laptop's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 port. With 32.4 Gbps of HBR3 bandwidth plus HDR and Display Stream Compression, it is the cable for high-refresh gaming monitors and colour-critical 4K and 5K displays used by designers and video editors.
One small screen limits how much you can see, and a mismatched cable gives you a blank display. The UGREEN CM556 USB-C to DisplayPort cable links your computer to a monitor so your desktop appears on the larger screen, with 8K listed. It is made for people who work with an external monitor or a second screen.
Key Features and Benefits
- Display resolution: Listed for 8K. The monitor and the computer port must also support that mode.
- 2m length: 2m between computer and monitor gives you room to position the display where you want it.
- USB-C connection: Connects to a USB-C port that supports video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) and carries the picture to a DisplayPort monitor.
- Digital video connection: DisplayPort is a digital video connection used on many monitors and graphics cards.
- 8K@60Hz, 4K@144Hz, 2K@240Hz: full DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth, 32.4 Gbps, for the fastest monitors on sale.
- HDR and DSC: high dynamic range output, with Display Stream Compression to fit 4K high-refresh and multi-monitor setups through one port.
- Direct, adapter-free: USB-C on the laptop, DisplayPort on the monitor; nothing in between to fail or lose bandwidth.
- Aluminium shells, braided nylon jacket: built for a cable that is unplugged daily from a laptop.
Made for Life in Nairobi and Across Kenya
Set up a second monitor at your desk in Westlands or Kilimani, extend your laptop display for spreadsheets and design work, or connect a graphics-card PC to a high-refresh monitor.
Buying and Setup Tips
- Check which video ports your monitor and computer have, and whether your USB-C port supports video output.
- If you want a high refresh rate or 4K, make sure the monitor and the graphics output are rated for it.
- Measure the distance first and choose a length with a little slack.
- The laptop's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4; a charge-and-data-only USB-C port will not output video.
- The refresh rate you get is set by the weakest link, so an older laptop GPU may top out below the cable's rating.
Who It's Perfect For
- Office and remote workers using a second monitor
- Designers, editors and traders who need screen space
- Gamers with high-refresh monitors
- Anyone linking a laptop to a desktop display

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my laptop support video over USB-C?
Only USB-C ports that support DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt can output video. Check your laptop specifications.
Can I use it with an HDMI monitor?
Only if the cable has an HDMI end. Match the connectors on both devices to the cable.
Will I get 144Hz on a 1440p or 4K monitor?
Yes, if the laptop's USB-C port supports DP Alt Mode at DisplayPort 1.4 speeds. The cable carries 4K@144Hz and 2K@240Hz; the laptop's graphics decide the ceiling.
Does it work with a MacBook Pro?
Yes. MacBooks with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports output DisplayPort over USB-C, so the cable drives a DisplayPort monitor directly at the resolutions the Mac supports.
