The Starter Tethering Kit from Tether Tools gives you all the essential gear needed to create a secure data connection between your camera and computer for a tethered workflow. This kit comes with a black USB 2.0 cable that is equipped with a Type-A male connector on one end and a USB mini-B 5-pin male connector on the other side, making it compatible with digital cameras. This USB 2.0 cable is 15′ long and transmits data at a rate of up to 480 Mb/s.
Tether Tools includes two JerkStoppers that remove the strain placed on the computer and camera’s ports from the connecting cable and help ensure the cable stays connected. For preventing tangles, ten ProTab cable ties keep the power, video, and other types of cables well managed and organized. In addition, this kit provides a Tether Tools organization case, so you can store the included cable, cable retention devices, and cable ties.
Please note that only the USB cable is covered by a limited 90-day warranty that does not guard against wear and tear.

I bought this as a backup cord. The high visibility makes it my #1 choice with the standard Canon black one as the backup after years of solid use. It was cheaper than the Canon The TT cord needed a little trimming to fit the Canon 1Dx cord keeper snap in thing. I prefer Canon’s snap in cord accessory that to the TT jerk-stopper. Good quality cord.

We use this Tether cable for in-studio work. We really like the bright orange cable as it catches the eye and helps avoid us from stepping or tripping over it. The negative, is that it falls out of the camera side jack all the time, even if you have the Jerk Stopper the cable kept coming out of the jack on the camera. We ended up using gaper’s tape to hold the cable in the camera.

Purchased this to do my first tethered shoot. Worked great and the orange color kept people from tripping on it!

I use to shoot tethered with the standard cable I got from Canon. It works fine except it’s short and because it’s black, you can easily trip over against it. This TetherPro USB cable is exceptionally durable and highly visible. It’s impossible not see its orange color! The best part of it is the length. No more worrying that I will overextend the camera or the laptop. I’m using this with my Canon 6D.

Much higher-than-usual cable fromTetherPro. I was very pleased with it. Can I see any difference in the conductivity of the connection? Of course not. Will it hold up a lot better and be more dependable than cheapie cables. I really think so!
