Vquest Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hi all, I've been trying to track down a quality cable that will power my UX1 from a USB C port, but it's proving difficult to find. Does anyone know where I could purchase one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Ham Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 There are lot's on ebay. Or type in custom pc cables in to Google and find your nearest guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vquest Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks. I have purchased two already from ebay, and neither of them have powered it up. One powered the light green for a moment, and then it went red. Can you recommend a quality brand? I'm surprised that Line6 don't sell cables as accessories.

phil_m Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It's just a regular USB 2.0 cable - nothing special about it. If you've tried multiple cables with no luck, I'd suspect something might be wrong with the USB jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vquest Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 The two I have tried so far I think have been cheap Chinese junk. I'm going from a macbook pro with the regular usb outputs to a 2019 macbook pro with USB C outputs. It's unlikely that all four ports are defective. There's no problem powering up external drives from them. I'm sure a better quality cable will power up the UX1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Ham Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 There mustbe a local business near you that can do it. Or an online cable shop. That's what i would try. Last resort, a connector that changes the type on your old working cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking it's more likely that the USB port on the UX1 is damaged, not the USB ports on your Macbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vquest Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I think none of them are damaged. The UX1 fires up no probs on my old macbook with the older USB ports, so I'm pretty sure it will fire up when I get hold of a decent quality cable. I've found a belkin cable on the net that should be of higher quality than the two I have tried so far, so fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vquest Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I'm on the edge of the outback, so the nearest decent shop is 200 k's away. Last time I was in town I couldn't find one, so I'll have to let my fingers do the walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vquest Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 I tried the adapter route with the original cable, but Line6 state that it needs to be a direct cable and won't work going through an adapter, which rang true when I tried it.

rowerbobera Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Did you resolve the issue with the cable and UX1, please? I have the same issue i.e. trying to power it up from Laptop Surface Go and the light disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewJatkola Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm curious about this too. Trying to power my UX2 with a new 2022 MacBook Pro, which only has USB C ports. Converter/adapters don't seem to be working... I'm hoping a USB B to USB C cable will do the trick... * fingers crossed * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
