First I want to confirm that it is an original Sony spare part. I have in fact already a charging cable, which was with the phone with them. This additionally ordered charging cable do I need for the road. I could not tell the difference between these two charging cables. The cords are securely and make an overall solid impression. The only drawback is that a bit too short guessed cable length of about 90 cm. If the outlet is short above the skirting board and the cell phone is on the table, then it can sometimes be scarce depending on table height. Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about.
