UCH10 QUICK CHARGER

I've lost the original UCB11 cable that came with the charger, can I use another Sony cable such as the EC803 cable and still get quick charge capabilities?

No, quick charging depends on specific cables being identified by the charging block.

I've looked everywhere and I can't even find the cable separately online

You can also use UCB-12 which is the tablet Z4 variant.

Are you serious? What part of Qualcomm QC 2 specification states that we need magic Sony cable to send more power?

Hi,

I couldn't confirm it, but by thinking about it logically.

The charging thing just work like other electronic items, More power output or electric current. More likely the copper content in the cable may be thicker in order to supply sufficient power needed to be deliver from one to another end of the prodeuct.

The reason why we need the sony cable is because those are the cable we know that is capable to deliver the power is needed from the charger to the device.

I am not an electronic engineer or something, just my point of view.

@Bandolero @jurkas74The sony adapter might need sony cable too, as each QC2.0 adapter is packed with it's own cable. They might work between each other, but it's best to use them as intended.

Every adapter need cable, "use them as intended" LOL, with Sony TV I don't have to use Sony HDMI cable or Sony power cable as long as Sony use standards, the same with USB cable. That's why we have standards and specification, once we had chargers vendor lock-in, but it's gone in favour of USB.

@jurkas74 You don't need to be rude, I've told you that each manufacturer will always suggest you to use their own products and if a problem occurs on your side by using lets say a different adapter or dock, your product won't be covered by warranty.

"
When charging a device with the Quick Charger UCH10, always use the UCB11 cable that was included with the charger at purchase."
