Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your UGREEN USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 Cable:
- Identify Compatible Ports: Ensure your source device (phone, tablet, laptop) has a USB-C port that supports "DP Alt Mode" (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or is a Thunderbolt 3/4 port. Your target display must have a DisplayPort input.
- Connect USB-C End: Plug the USB-C connector of the cable into the compatible USB-C/Thunderbolt port on your source device.
- Connect DisplayPort End: Insert the DisplayPort connector into the DisplayPort input on your monitor or display.
- Verify Display: Your display should automatically detect the signal. If not, you may need to manually select the DisplayPort input on your monitor or adjust display settings on your source device.
Note:
- This cable supports unidirectional transmission only, from USB-C source to DisplayPort display. It cannot be used in reverse.
- The final resolution and refresh rate are determined by the specifications of both your source device and your display.
This cable supports unidirectional transmission from a USB-C signal source (phone, tablet, laptop) to a DisplayPort display device only.
Before connecting, verify your device's USB-C port supports video output (Thunderbolt Full Function, With DP Alt Mode, or Data Transfer + DP Alt Mode).

Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- No Display/Signal:
- Ensure your source device's USB-C port supports "DP Alt Mode" or is Thunderbolt 3/4. Not all USB-C ports support video output.
- Verify that the DisplayPort cable is securely connected to both the source device and the monitor.
- Check your monitor's input settings and ensure DisplayPort is selected.
- Restart both your source device and monitor.
- Flickering Screen/Unstable Connection:
- Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or strained.
- Reduce the resolution or refresh rate in your device's display settings to see if stability improves.
- Avoid connecting via docking stations or hubs if display errors occur; a direct connection is recommended due to potential hardware limitations.
- Incorrect Resolution/Refresh Rate:
- Confirm that both your source device and monitor support the desired resolution and refresh rate.
- Adjust display settings on your operating system (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Settings > Displays).
