Sony Camera Data Transfer & Charging Cord 1m
Price evolution
Product description
This micro USB cable lets you charge compatible Sony cameras and transfer photos directly to a computer, making it useful for travel and quick studio work. It combines data sync and charging in one compact 1.5 metre cable, offering faster topping up and quicker file transfers when used with supported devices.
Key Points
The cable supports both power delivery and data transfer for a wide range of Sony Alpha and Cyber-shot models, so you can avoid removing memory cards or relying on WiFi to move files. It is presented in white and designed to be tangle-resistant with a thicker PVC jacket for everyday durability. For cameras that accept in-camera charging, the cable can provide faster charging according to the manufacturer, but consider that not every model will charge from a USB connection.
This accessory is plug and play on most computers, allowing image import, tethering and battery charging at the same time. For photographers who need a simple replacement or a spare cable in their kit, it is lightweight and easy to carry. 📸

Usage Recommendations
Use this cable to connect the camera directly to a laptop or desktop for fast image transfer and to mirror the camera screen during shoots. When tethering for portrait sessions, make sure your camera’s settings allow USB communication to enable full control and file saving on the computer. For travel, coil the cable gently to avoid sharp bends despite its reinforced jacket. ⚡
When relying on the cable for charging, verify that the specific Sony model supports USB charging. If a camera does not accept charging through its USB port, the cable will still transfer data but will not replenish battery life. Also note that charging speed depends on the power source you use, so pairing with a higher-capacity USB charger will typically yield quicker results. 🔋
