Please help me find a proper MHL cable that doesn't need power

[TheNamelessMan]

I have a Z5 Compact.  Love it, but need to be able to share my screen with my TV.  I used to have a Galaxy S5, and I had the Samsung MHL 2.0 cable and I didn't need any external power.  So I assume that means my TV supports MHL...

Is there a cable I can use with the Z5 that doesn't require power?  My TV is the last model Samsung before the smart TV's came out.  I don't have internet through the TV.

Please help me find a proper MHL cable that doesn't need power.  Thanks

Since Xperia Z3+Z4, and now Z5, you don't need to have power anymore to send video to TV. Even if the cable requires power, Xperia will go through it.

I'm using Sony IM750 HDMI/MHL

Look around on samsung forum for their MHL cable spec, because Samsung used to lock the cable for their device only (started with GS3)

make sure to get a 5 pin MHL cable

I know I need a 5 pin cable.  

What I need to find is a 5 pin cable that can do MHL without needing to keep the phone plugged in.

@TheNamelessMan

it will drain your battery, you could use Chromecast instead, its a lot simpler to use and you can use your computer and other phones.

Chromecast has lag, audio and visual

Hello;

I bought this one and use it with a Z3 and a Sony KDL-42W828B TV.
