While it's not necessary to use the USB power cable and power adapter included in the box with the standard Chromecast device, it is suggested you use those for optimal performance. That being said, it is necessary to use the provided cables with Chromecast Ultra, which won't work with any other USB cable, or any USB cable plugged into a TV. Here are the slightly different steps for setting up Chromecast Ultra. Once your Chromecast is on-screen, you’re ready to proceed to the next step.

The only thing your Chromecast needs to work is a functioning audio-video output port. Though they were designed to be plugged into your TV’s HDMI port, you can also use them with other ports with the appropriate converters. Although converters can just hang from your TV’s ports, the cables could be damaged from the constant strain and you risk them slipping out of the ports. Instead, they can only be connected to cable or satellite, allowing you to watch broadcast TV. They can also connect to other devices via a wired connection, like your computer or phone via an HDMI cable. Find your TV’s HDMI port and plug the Chromecast’s HDMI cable into it. Now is also a good time to take note of which HDMI port you’re plugging it into (e.g. HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc).
