UGREEN CM654 USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 8K Adapter Cable 10cm is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,000, located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The UGREEN CM654 converts USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 4/3 output into a DisplayPort 1.4 female socket, supporting 8K at 60Hz, 4K at 240Hz, and 2K at 240Hz over a single 32.4Gbps connection. The 10cm braided pigtail design plugs directly into your laptop or tablet while accepting any standard DisplayPort cable on the monitor side. Aluminum alloy housing on the UGREEN CM654 helps with heat dissipation during long workstation sessions.
The UGREEN CM654 is built for Kenya's design studios, video editors, software developers, financial analysts, and home-office workers running MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Pro, Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, and Microsoft Surface devices that lack a native DisplayPort output. Photographers in Nairobi and Mombasa who color-grade on 4K Dell UltraSharp or LG UltraFine monitors get the full 10-bit HDR signal path. Gamers running 4K@240Hz panels from ASUS, BenQ, and Samsung Odyssey get the bandwidth their displays were built for. The short 10cm form factor keeps the cable bundle clean behind a desk and travels easily inside a laptop sleeve for client visits.
Unlike generic USB-C to DisplayPort adapters sold across Nairobi River Road and online marketplaces, the UGREEN CM654 carries verified DP 1.4 chipset support with anti-surge and anti-EMC shielding inside the connector housing. Users consistently report stable 4K@144Hz output on M1, M2, and M3 MacBooks where cheaper adapters fail to negotiate refresh rates above 60Hz. At Mascom International, we're seeing strong demand from architects, video editors, and traders who need a reliable bridge between modern Type-C laptops and the DisplayPort monitors that dominate Kenya's professional workspaces. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to test the UGREEN CM654 with your own laptop before purchase, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM654
What devices work with the UGREEN CM654 USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4 8K Adapter?
The UGREEN CM654 works with any USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4 output. Confirmed compatibility covers MacBook Pro 2019 onwards, MacBook Air M1/M2/M3, iPad Pro M1/M2/M4, iPad Air with M-series chip, Mac Mini, iMac, Dell XPS 13/15/17, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, HP EliteBook, Microsoft Surface Pro 9, Samsung Galaxy S24, S25, Tab S8, Tab S9, and Valve Steam Deck. Phones with DP Alt Mode like Galaxy S25 and iPhone 17 Pro Max output desktop-mode video through this adapter to a monitor.
What is the highest resolution and refresh rate the UGREEN CM654 supports?
The UGREEN CM654 supports 8K at 60Hz (7680 x 4320), 4K at 240Hz, 4K at 144Hz, 4K at 120Hz, 2K at 240Hz, and 1080p at up to 360Hz through its 32.4Gbps DisplayPort 1.4 bandwidth. Actual achievable resolution depends on both your source device and your monitor's specifications. A MacBook Pro M3 paired with an ASUS ROG Swift 4K 240Hz monitor will negotiate the 4K@240Hz mode automatically. Dynamic HDR, HDR10, and 10-bit color pass through the adapter without compression on supported displays.
Does the UGREEN CM654 work with iPhone, iPad, and Samsung Galaxy phones?
The UGREEN CM654 works with iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, and all iPad models with M1, M2, or M4 chips since these support USB-C video output. Samsung Galaxy S25, S24, S23 series, and Galaxy Tab S9/S8 output desktop mode through the adapter when connected to a DisplayPort monitor. Older iPhones with Lightning ports and budget Android phones without DP Alt Mode will not output video through this adapter. The packaging and UGREEN product page list confirmed compatible devices for verification before purchase.
What DisplayPort cable do I need with the UGREEN CM654 adapter?
The UGREEN CM654 has a DisplayPort 1.4 female socket and requires a separate DisplayPort 1.4 certified male-to-male cable to reach your monitor. For 8K@60Hz or 4K@240Hz output, use a VESA-certified DP 1.4 cable rated for at least 32.4Gbps bandwidth. Standard DP 1.2 cables will work for 4K@60Hz output but will not support the higher refresh rates the adapter is capable of. Mascom International stocks UGREEN-branded DP 1.4 cables in 1.5m, 2m, and 3m lengths separately for buyers building a complete connection setup.
How is the UGREEN CM654 different from a cheap USB-C to DisplayPort adapter?
The UGREEN CM654 uses a verified DP 1.4 controller chip with anti-surge protection, EMC radiation shielding, and gold-plated USB-C pins for stable signal transmission. Cheaper adapters often use DP 1.2 chips that cap at 4K@60Hz and fail to support HDR10, Variable Refresh Rate, or Auto Low Latency Mode. The braided nylon jacket on the UGREEN CM654 resists kinking, the aluminum housing helps heat dissipation during 8-hour workdays, and the reinforced strain relief survives daily plug-and-unplug cycles. UGREEN backs the adapter with a 12-month warranty.
Does the UGREEN CM654 support gaming features like VRR and G-Sync?
Yes. The UGREEN CM654 supports Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode, AMD FreeSync, and NVIDIA G-Sync pass-through when paired with a compatible monitor and graphics card. Gamers running Lenovo Legion, ASUS ROG Strix SCAR, or Razer Blade laptops with discrete NVIDIA RTX or AMD Radeon graphics can output to high-refresh DisplayPort gaming monitors at full native refresh rates. Display Stream Compression (DSC) on DP 1.4 handles the bandwidth headroom for 4K@240Hz HDR gaming without visible compression artifacts.
Can I daisy-chain multiple monitors through the UGREEN CM654?
The UGREEN CM654 supports Multi-Stream Transport (MST) for daisy-chaining multiple DisplayPort monitors from a single USB-C port on Windows laptops. macOS does not support MST daisy-chaining due to Apple's driver implementation, so MacBook users will see mirrored output instead of extended desktops. Windows users running Dell XPS, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, or ASUS Zenbook can connect two QHD monitors or one 4K@60Hz monitor in extended mode through MST-capable displays. Clamshell mode is supported for laptops with the lid closed when connected to power.
Is the UGREEN CM654 worth KSh 2,000 in Kenya's accessory market?
The UGREEN CM654 at KSh 2,000 sits in the middle of the Kenyan adapter market, between generic KSh 800-1,200 adapters and Apple/Cable Matters branded options that retail above KSh 4,500 in Nairobi. Buyers get verified DP 1.4 chipset, 8K@60Hz capability, gaming feature support, and a 12-month UGREEN warranty at this price point. For users connecting a modern MacBook or Windows ultrabook to a 4K or higher monitor, this represents the price-to-performance sweet spot at Mascom International for video adapters.
