Nikon UC-E4 USB Cable for D50, D70, D70s, and D100
{ 5 comments… read them below or add one }
I ordered a Nikon UC-E4 cable (actually 3 of them). Note that in the picture it shows a cable with two ferrite cores attached – those are those cylinder shaped bulges just in from the plugs. These are magnets and are supposed to reduce noise transmissions. What actually came in the box from Nikon when I bought my D60, D200 and D300 cameras was a cable with one ferrite core attached. So, I placed the order figuring I was ordering the right type of cable and expected at least one core. What I got was NO CORES. I got a plain old USB cable with the proper ends on it. You can argue whether or not the cores are of any value (as dCables did when I called them to make arrangements to send these back) but Nikon sees fit to include them on the standard cables they provide with their cameras and when I ordered the Nikon part, I expect that part number and matching item. dCable shouldn’t be selling these for what they are not!!

I used to drag with me everywhere this cable which connects the Nikon D40 camera (not listed in the product description) to the computer for downloading files, continually reminding myself (in the time before discovering SD card readers) never to lose this cable.
Before long I had lost it.
I sent a note to the excellent Nikon USA website asking for the cable title in order to order a new one here on the amazon. Nikon itself suggested using an SD card reader instead as quicker and as saving camera battery power. But I like this cable.
I actually find this cable quicker than the readers. I also have yet to find a reader durable enough to let out of the house. I keep one in the ashtray of my pick-up (only thing it ever gets used for: loose change for the kids, a few Mass Cards, and an SD reader, no ashes) where it won’t get injured but be at hand (of course once the summer heat hits, we’ll see if it melts). In fact my small truck provides the most secure camera bag I have ever had. Take my life but not my truck, please.
But I like this cable. Even if you have not lost yours, order an extra just in case. It’s cheap and it’s good and it is very useful.
And did I tell you I find it quicker than the readers, and easier to use. I hate swapping out the SD card like that, and remembering which way is up, and trying to get the computer to see the reader, having found room to squeeze it in on some public computer. With this cable, no problem.
Keep this cable in your kit, with the extra UV filter and stuff (an extra battery is also very good to have). Don’t lose it. It’s worth it.

I ordered a Nikon UC-E4 cable from CMPLE. In the picture they shows a cable with two ferrite cores attached – those are those cylinder shaped bulges just in from the plugs. These are magnets and are supposed to reduce noise transmissions. What they actually shiped will be a standard USB cable. They will give you a refund when after you e-mail to notify them they ship wrong part. They should remove the PICTURE from there product list or replace it with the right one. After waiting 5 to 7 days only to e-mail there customer services and advise that they are shipping the wrong part, well it is a hell of way to do business. I believe they know what they shipping out to the customer. Just double check before you order this product, they seems to be fair, with giving a refund.

its just a plain usb cable, but not the Nikon UC-E4 USB Cable

I read the other reviews prior to ordering this cable and was concerned about the authenticity of this product. I placed the order and hoped for the best. Upon receiving the cable I was disappointed to see it is a “knock off” brand USB cord, not a real Nikon cord. It does not have the ferrite cores nor is it made by Nikon. I don’t doubt that it will work, but I do like to get what I ordered.
