The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable is the one that runs the direction almost nobody stocks: HDMI goes in, USB-C comes out. It lets a PS5, a Nintendo Switch dock, a Steam Deck, an Xbox, a laptop or a set-top box drive a USB-C portable monitor or an AR headset at 4K and 60Hz. An active chip inside does the conversion, powered by the included USB-A lead, and the whole thing is wrapped in aluminium and nylon braid. Every UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable from Totot is sealed retail stock with a one-year UAE warranty.

Read This First: It Goes HDMI In, USB-C Out
Almost every cable sold as an HDMI and USB-C combination runs the other way: USB-C from your laptop into an HDMI television. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable does the opposite. HDMI is the input, USB-C is the output, and transmission is strictly one-directional.
That means you plug the HDMI end into a source that has an HDMI port – a PlayStation 5, a Nintendo Switch dock, a Steam Deck dock, an Xbox, a desktop graphics card, a laptop, a Blu-ray player or a set-top box – and the USB-C end into a screen that takes USB-C video: a portable monitor, an AR or XR headset, or a USB-C display. Reverse it and nothing appears, because the chip inside only converts in one direction.
Why This Cable Exists
Portable monitors and XR glasses moved to USB-C, but consoles and desktops never did. A PS5 has HDMI out and no USB-C video at all. A Steam Deck dock, an Xbox and most graphics cards are the same. Without a converter, none of them can drive a USB-C-only screen.
The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable is the bridge. It carries an active conversion chip, not just wiring, which is why it needs the small USB-A power lead. That is also why a passive USB-C to HDMI cable turned around will never work in this direction – there is nothing inside it to do the conversion.
The USB-A Power Lead Is Not Optional
The conversion chip draws its own power, and USB-C display devices often cannot supply it. That is why the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable ships with a separate 1 m USB-A lead rated at 5V and 1.0A maximum.
Plug that lead into any USB-A port: the console itself, a laptop, a power bank, a wall charger or a monitor hub. Skipping it is the single most common cause of a black screen, flicker or a display that keeps dropping out. Connect it every time and transmission stays stable.
4K at 60Hz, HDR and Full Surround Audio
Video runs up to 4K at 60Hz with HDMI 2.0 bandwidth of 18Gbps and HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 support, so protected content from consoles and streaming boxes plays without a handshake error.
Audio is carried on the same cable and is not downmixed. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable passes AC-3, LPCM, DTS and DSD in 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 and 7.1 channel layouts, sampling up to 24-bit and 192kHz. Picture and sound stay in sync, which is the difference between a usable second screen and one you stop using after a week.
Aluminium Shell, Nylon Braid, 30000 Bend Tests
The housing is machined aluminium rather than moulded plastic, which pulls heat away from the conversion chip and keeps the connector rigid in a port that gets plugged and unplugged constantly. Connectors are nickel-plated to resist corrosion.
The 2 m cable is nylon braided over the jacket and UGREEN rates it past 30000 bend cycles. For a cable that lives in a bag with a portable monitor and gets coiled every day, that braid is the part you will notice after a year – it is what stops the split at the connector neck that kills cheap adapters.
Setup Takes Under a Minute
There is no driver and no software. Plug the HDMI end into the source device, plug the USB-A lead into any powered USB port, then connect the USB-C end to the display. The screen picks up the signal on its own.
On a laptop source you can switch between mirror mode and extend mode from the normal display settings, exactly as you would with any second monitor. The UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable works with Windows, macOS and Linux, and consoles need no configuration at all because they simply output HDMI.
Real Setups People Use It For
The most common one is a console and a portable monitor: a PS5 or Switch in a hotel room, driving a 15-inch USB-C screen instead of hunting for a TV with a free input. Steam Deck and ROG Ally docks work the same way.
Beyond gaming, it feeds AR and XR glasses from a desktop that has no USB-C video output, adds a second screen to a workstation whose USB-C ports are already occupied, and lets a Blu-ray player or set-top box run on a portable display. In every case, the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable is doing a job that no ordinary cable can.
What It Will Not Do
Being honest about limits saves returns. This is a display cable, not a capture card – it cannot record HDMI into a computer, and plugging the USB-C end into a laptop will not put console footage on your screen. For that you need a capture device.
It also will not run high-refresh-rate gaming: the ceiling is 4K at 60Hz, or 2K at 120Hz. It does not carry USB data or charge the display device, and it will not work in reverse. If any of those is what you need, this is the wrong cable and we would rather tell you now.
Buying It in the UAE
Totot ships the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain for a flat 10 AED Aramex charge, with cash on delivery and Tabby or Tamara instalments at checkout.
This is a specialist part that most local shops do not stock, and importing it usually means a long wait plus customs. Ours is held locally in sealed UGREEN retail packaging with a one-year warranty, so it arrives in days rather than weeks.

How It Differs From the Cable You Probably Already Own
Search for HDMI and USB-C together and you will find hundreds of listings. Nearly all of them are USB-C to HDMI: a laptop or phone on the USB-C end, a television or projector on the HDMI end. They are passive, they cost very little, and they are completely useless for what this product does.
The difference is silicon. A passive cable only rearranges pins, relying on the source device to output an HDMI-shaped signal over USB-C through DisplayPort Alt Mode. A PlayStation, an Xbox or a graphics card never does that, because their video output is native HDMI and nothing else. Converting it requires a chip that reads the HDMI stream and rebuilds it as a signal a USB-C display will accept, and a chip needs power – hence the second lead.
Two practical tests before you buy any listing that claims to do this. First, look for a separate power connector; if the cable has only two ends, it cannot be active and it will not work from a console. Second, read the direction statement carefully. Sellers frequently list a passive USB-C to HDMI cable under search terms for the reverse direction because the demand is there, and the review sections of those listings are full of people who found out the hard way.
If your source has HDMI out and your screen only takes USB-C in, an active converter with its own power supply is the only thing that will work. That is exactly what this is, and it is why it costs more than a plain cable of the same length.

FAQ – UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable
Is UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable an original sealed product?
Yes. Every UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable we ship is 100% original UGREEN stock sourced through authorised distribution, sealed in its retail box – never a refurbished unit or an unchecked grey import.
Can I use it to connect my laptop to an HDMI TV?
No. That is the opposite direction. This cable takes HDMI in and outputs USB-C. For a laptop to a TV you need a USB-C to HDMI cable, which is a different product.
Do I have to plug in the USB-A cable?
Yes. The conversion chip needs external power and most USB-C displays cannot provide it. Leaving the USB-A lead unplugged causes a black screen or an unstable picture.
Will it work with PS5, Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck?
Yes. Any device with a standard HDMI output works as the source, including PS5, PS4, Xbox, the Switch dock, Steam Deck docks, laptops, desktops, Blu-ray players and set-top boxes.
Can it record gameplay onto my computer?
No. It is a display converter, not a capture card. It sends video to a screen and cannot pass footage into a computer for recording.
Does it support 120Hz or 144Hz gaming?
It handles 4K at 60Hz and 2K at 120Hz. It is not intended for high-refresh-rate competitive gaming.
What warranty comes with it?
Totot provides a one-year warranty on the UGREEN HDMI to USB-C Adapter Cable, handled locally in the UAE.
