4. Maintenance
The UGREEN DisplayPort Cable 2.1 is built with durability in mind, requiring minimal maintenance. Adhering to these simple guidelines will help ensure its long-term performance:
- Handle with Care: Avoid excessive bending or sharp angles, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
- Clean Connectors: Periodically inspect the DisplayPort connectors for dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth or compressed air to clean them if necessary.
- Storage: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and secure it with the included Velcro straps to prevent tangling and kinking. Store it in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid Strain: Do not pull the cable by the cord itself when disconnecting. Always grasp the connector housing firmly.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your UGREEN DisplayPort Cable 2.1, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Signal/Black Screen:
- Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected to the DisplayPort ports on your source and display devices.
- Verify that your display is set to the correct DisplayPort input source.
- Test the cable with another DisplayPort-compatible device or display if available.
- Check if your graphics card drivers are up to date.
- Flickering or Intermittent Signal:
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your display settings to see if the issue persists.
- Ensure the cable is not near sources of strong electromagnetic interference (EMI). The cable features triple shielding for EMI resistance, but extreme interference can still affect performance.
- Check for physical damage to the cable or connectors.
- Incorrect Resolution or Refresh Rate:
- Access your operating system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings, NVIDIA Control Panel, AMD Radeon Software) and manually set the desired resolution and refresh rate.
- Confirm that your graphics card and monitor natively support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
- 20-Pin Issue:
- The 20-pin on this UGREEN DisplayPort cable is intentionally disabled (no power) to prevent potential issues such as flickering or damage to your graphics card. This is a standard safety measure and not a defect.
