Purpose and compatibility
This cable links select Sony Handycam camcorders to a computer using a 10-pin connector on the camera side and a standard USB plug on the other. It supports the DCR-SX85, DCR-SX85e, DCR-SR220, DCR-SR220e, DCR-SR290 and DCR-SR290e models for transferring recorded footage. Buyers with camcorders that use a different proprietary port or a multi-terminal shoe will need a different cable.
Thermals noise and power
The cable draws its operating power directly from the host USB port and contains no active electronics that generate measurable heat or audible noise. No external power supply is required and the assembly adds negligible load to the computer’s USB bus. Users who need powered data transfer over longer distances should consider an active repeater cable instead.
Build integration
The 10-pin end mates with the Handycam’s dedicated sync socket while the USB-A end fits any free Type-A port on a PC or Mac. Its fixed length keeps the camera close to the workstation during ingest, freeing the user from proprietary docking cradles. Builders assembling a portable capture kit should verify that their laptop provides a Type-A port or carry a suitable adapter.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the 10-pin end to my DCR-SR220 and what is the common mistake?
Align the 10-pin plug with the Handycam's recessed port and push straight in until it clicks; forcing it at an angle bends the delicate pins.
What part of the VMC-15FS cable is most likely to need replacement after repeated use?
The strain relief where the 10-pin moulding meets the wire fatigues first; inspect for cracking if the camcorder only syncs when the cable is held in a certain position.
What transfer-speed limit appears first when I copy long videos from my DCR-SX85e?
The camcorder's own USB 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput, so the cable itself is not the bottleneck during large file transfers.
