The verdict

A workable budget cable for an HDMI 2.1 console or PC setup, but the readable maker page claims 48 Gbps without naming official Ultra High Speed certification, so it is listed as an uncertified claim. Some other UGREEN listings carry a Certified label in their titles, so check which version you are buying.

UGREEN's 8K HDMI 2.1 cable is listed with 48 Gbps bandwidth, 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz, and HDMI 2.1 features including eARC, VRR, QMS, QFT, ALLM and DSC. It supports HDR10+, HDCP 2.2 and Dolby Vision per the maker. The page we could read is UGREEN's EU store, which sells 1 m, 3 m and 5 m options. UGREEN's US store does not list this cable, and the EU page does not state that the cable is officially certified.

Strengths

  • Lists 48 Gbps bandwidth with 8K at 60 Hz and 4K at 120 Hz support.
  • Lists eARC, VRR, QMS, QFT, ALLM and DSC support.
  • Backed by a two-year product warranty on UGREEN's store.
  • Available in 1 m, 3 m and 5 m lengths.

Weak spots

  • The page does not state official HDMI Ultra High Speed certification.
  • Only the EU store page was readable; UGREEN's US store does not list this cable.
  • No in-wall rating is listed.
  • The 3 m and 5 m options showed as out of stock when checked.

Great for

  • Budget HDMI 2.1 connections for a console or PC
  • Short to medium runs of up to 5 m

Skip if

  • Buyers who need a cable with an official certification label
  • In-wall installs, since no rating is listed

Setup notes

  • For 4K at 120 Hz or 8K at 60 Hz, the TV, source and every port in the chain must also support HDMI 2.1.
  • UGREEN sells several similar HDMI 2.1 cables; some listings add Certified to the title, and this one does not.

Questions

Is the UGREEN 8K HDMI 2.1 cable certified Ultra High Speed?

The page describes it as Ultra High-Speed HDMI with 48 Gbps but does not say it is officially certified. We list it as an uncertified 48 Gbps claim.

Which lengths are available?

The UGREEN EU store lists 1 m, 3 m and 5 m options. The 3 m and 5 m options showed as out of stock when we checked.
