Overview

The Sony 183728711 is a genuine OEM USB connection cord using Sony's proprietary 5-pin connector — the specific interface used on a generation of Sony Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot digital cameras from the late 2000s and early 2010s. The 5-pin Sony connector is not a variant of any standard USB format; it is a proprietary form factor that physically cannot accept a standard Micro-USB or Mini-USB cable. For owners of compatible devices — including the HDR-CX series Handycams and DCR-SX series camcorders — this cable is a direct replacement for the original bundled cord, carrying both USB data and power connections at factory specification. The OEM designation means it is manufactured to Sony's original tolerances, which matters for reliable device enumeration when connecting to a PC.

This cable serves one defined function: connecting a compatible Sony camera or camcorder to a USB port on a computer for footage import, photo transfer, or software management via Sony's PMB or PlayMemories applications. It is a single-purpose legacy accessory, and that is exactly what it should be. The buyers who need this cable know precisely why — an aftermarket replacement failed, the original was lost, or a refurbished device arrived without a cable. For those users, having the genuine OEM part means the device is recognized correctly, transfers complete without errors, and the connection holds without the intermittent dropout behavior that afflicts low-quality 5-pin alternatives. There is no complexity here: it is the right cable for the job, built to the original spec.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Genuine Sony OEM construction ensures the cable meets the original conductor and connector specifications for the listed Handycam and Cyber-shot models, reducing device recognition errors.
  • The proprietary Sony 5-pin connector is the correct fit for compatible devices — not a loose-tolerance aftermarket substitute that can cause intermittent disconnects.
  • Direct Sony part number (183728711) makes verification straightforward if you are cross-referencing against a device manual's accessory list.
  • Enables both data transfer and device connection functions in a single cable, covering the full scope of PC-to-device use cases for listed models.

👎 Cons

  • Compatibility is limited to a specific set of older Sony Handycam and Cyber-shot models from the late 2000s to early 2010s — this cable has no use with modern Sony cameras or non-listed devices.
  • The Sony proprietary 5-pin connector is not reversible and requires correct orientation for insertion, which is less convenient than modern USB-C or Micro-USB connectors.
  • The cable is a legacy OEM accessory; availability and stock may diminish over time as these Sony camera models age out of active use.
  • No specified cable length is listed, which means buyers cannot confirm the cord will reach their workstation setup before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sony lists compatibility with the DCR-SR68, DCR-SR68/L, DCR-SX44, DCR-SX63, DSC-TX7/L, HDR-CX110, HDR-CX150, HDR-CX150/LI5, HDR-CX350V, and HDR-CX550V. These are Sony Handycam camcorders and Cyber-shot cameras from the late 2000s to early 2010s generation that used Sony's proprietary 5-pin USB connector.
No. Sony's 5-pin connector used on these Handycam and Cyber-shot models is a proprietary form factor — it is not interchangeable with standard Micro-USB (used on most Android phones) or Mini-USB (used on older devices). This cord is required specifically because standard USB cables will not physically fit the Sony 5-pin port.
This is a connection cord, supporting both data transfer (importing footage and photos to a computer) and USB power delivery to the connected device. It is the cable used to connect the Sony device to a PC for file management using Sony's PMB or PlayMemories software.
This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part sourced directly from Sony, part number 183728711. OEM status means it meets Sony's original manufacturing specifications for conductor quality, connector tolerances, and USB signaling — which reduces the risk of connection errors, slow transfer speeds, or device recognition failures associated with low-quality aftermarket cables.
Physically, any Sony device using the same 5-pin proprietary port should accept this connector. However, Sony only formally certifies compatibility for the listed models. For unlisted devices, check your device's manual for the cable type and compare port specifications before purchasing.
