Nikon UC-E6 cable: which Coolpix cameras use it

The UC-E6 is Nikon's USB cable for Coolpix compacts whose USB port Nikon's support table describes as Mini-B 8-Pin, from the 2002 Coolpix 2100 to models launched around 2014. It has a USB Type-A plug for the computer, and the camera end plugs into a connector behind a cover that carries USB and video out.

The same camera connector carries analogue video out when you use one of Nikon's EG-CP A/V cables; the table shows which one (EG-CP11, EG-CP14 or EG-CP16) each manual names. The S3300's box list names a UC-E6 together with a Charging AC Adapter EH-69P.

Nikon sells the UC-E6, UC-E16 and UC-E21 as three separate products. The code does not follow the year: the 2014 S2800, S3600, S6600 and S6700 still list the UC-E6.

What nobody states

• Nikon calls the port Mini-B 8-Pin and separates it from its Mini-B 5-Pin cables (such as the UC-E4 and UC-E5). It does not draw the plug or say what the 8 pins carry.
• Nikon's table says a UC-E6 can be used as an alternative for UC-E17 cameras such as the D3200 and P7700. It does not say the UC-E6 and UC-E16 interchange, although both ports are listed as Mini-B 8-Pin; some third-party sellers say they do.
• The S6800 is listed under UC-E21 in its manual but under UC-E6 in Nikon's support table, so we show it in neither table.
