Description
The USB-SC09 is a proprietary USB cable primarily associated with older Sony digital cameras, such as certain Cyber-shot models (e.g., DSC-F717, DSC-F828, and others from the early 2000s). Here’s a detailed description:
Key Features:
Purpose:
- Data Transfer: Connects the camera to a computer for transferring photos/videos.
- Charging: Charges the camera’s battery via USB (though some models required an additional power adapter).
Connectors:
- Proprietary End: A custom connector that plugs into the camera (non-standard, specific to Sony devices).
- Standard USB-A: The other end connects to a computer or USB power source.
Compatibility:
- Designed for select Sony Cyber-shot cameras (circa 2002–2005).
- Not compatible with modern USB standards (USB 1.1, slower transfer speeds by today’s standards).
Alternatives:
- Replacement cables are available through third-party vendors, often labeled as “Sony DSC-SC09 compatible.”
- Some users modify the cable for direct charging or use aftermarket power adapters.
Common Issues:
- Obsolescence: Proprietary design makes replacements difficult.
- Modern Use: Older USB 1.1 speeds are impractical for large file transfers today.
