UGREEN DisplayPort Male to Male Cable 1.5m (Black) – DP102

The UGREEN DP102 is a 1.5-meter DisplayPort cable designed for high-performance digital video and audio transmission between computers and displays. This DP 1.2 certified cable supports resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz and features latching connectors with gold-plated contacts, making it ideal for students setting up multi-monitor workstations and business users connecting desktop computers to professional monitors. The 1.5-meter length provides clean cable management for desk setups without excess slack.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4K Ultra HD Support: Transmits video at resolutions up to 3840×2160 at 60Hz with full color depth, which means you can enjoy sharp text rendering for coding or spreadsheets and smooth motion during video playback without the stuttering common at lower refresh rates.
• Multi-Stream Transport (MST): Supports daisy-chaining multiple monitors from a single DisplayPort output on compatible graphics cards, allowing you to expand your workspace to three displays without consuming all your computer’s video ports.
• Integrated Audio Transmission: Carries uncompressed multi-channel audio alongside video through a single cable, eliminating the need for separate audio connections when your monitor has built-in speakers or you’re connecting to display equipment with audio extraction.
• Secure Locking Connectors: Features latching mechanisms on both ends that audibly click when properly seated and prevent accidental disconnection, so you won’t lose your display during important presentations or gaming sessions when cables get bumped.
• 1.5-Meter Length: Spans 4.9 feet—long enough to route cables from a desktop tower on the floor to a monitor on your desk, or from a laptop docking station to an external display, without creating cable clutter or tension on the connectors.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students: Computer science and engineering students benefit from the DP102 when connecting laptops to external monitors for extended coding sessions or CAD work. The 4K resolution support at 60Hz provides the screen real estate needed to view documentation, code, and output simultaneously without squinting at compressed text. Design students working with color-critical applications appreciate the cable’s ability to transmit full color depth without compression, ensuring accurate color representation between their workstation and calibrated displays.

For Business Environments: Office workers connecting desktop computers to professional monitors will find the 1.5-meter length ideal for typical desk configurations where the computer sits under or beside the desk. The locking connectors prevent embarrassing disconnections during video conferences or client presentations when someone accidentally kicks the cable. IT departments standardizing on DisplayPort infrastructure can deploy these cables knowing they support both current 1080p monitors and future 4K display upgrades without requiring replacement.

Multi-Monitor Productivity: Professionals using multiple displays for financial analysis, video editing, or data visualization can daisy-chain compatible monitors using the DP102’s MST support. Connect your primary monitor to your computer with this cable, then chain additional monitors from the first display’s DisplayPort output, reducing cable clutter and preserving other video ports for docking station connections or presentation equipment.

Gaming Setups: Gamers with DisplayPort-equipped graphics cards and high-refresh-rate monitors benefit from the cable’s support for 144Hz at 1080p or 165Hz at 1440p. The secure locking mechanism ensures your display stays connected during intense gaming sessions, while the bandwidth capacity supports AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-SYNC for tear-free gaming.

Home Office Configurations: Remote workers connecting laptops to external displays via docking stations can use the DP102 for reliable daily connections. The cable’s durability withstands frequent plugging and unplugging if you alternate between docked and mobile work, though the locking connectors work best when the connection remains semi-permanent.

The UGREEN DP102 delivers professional-grade performance for standard desktop setups. The 1.5-meter length works well for most desk configurations, but measure your specific setup before purchasing—if your tower sits far from your monitor or you need to route cables through cable management systems, you may need a longer cable. For gaming at very high refresh rates (240Hz+), verify your graphics card and monitor both support DisplayPort 1.4, as the DP102’s 1.2 specification may limit performance at extreme settings. The triple-shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference, making this cable suitable for use near Wi-Fi routers, smartphones, and other electronics without causing visual artifacts. Always ensure both connectors click firmly into place to achieve the full bandwidth and avoid intermittent connection issues.
