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.

Flexible cable and gold connectors.

It’s a USB cable, an orange one. Works great, is visible and is long enough. I plan to use for photo booth tethered from my mac to my Canon 7D.

The color is great for visibility, length is good size to give easy comfort moving around. Do suggest Jerk Stopper with cable to protect from pulling out of camera.

I use this product to connect my Nikon D3 to my MacBook Pro to tether with Aperture. It works great, there is a usual delay on download images between the camera and software, but it’s quite normal. Only thing that I needed to teak a little was from the mini usb side I had to cut off a little rubber away so that it could fit into my Nikon D3 Cable Clip.

This is a great product for connecting both my Canon 5D MK II and 1Dx to my MacBook Air when shooting at client sites. The Tether Tools JerkStopper Camera Support to hold the cable to the camera is critical to keeping it connected when moving around. The orange color provides great visibility for people who are around the shooting area as black cables just seem to disappear from view. Why not 5 stars? I’d like to see the plugs for both the computer USB and the camera mini USB fit a bit more tighter as they both feel that they will come out too easily. The Tether Tools JerkStopper Camera Support & Tether Tools JerkStopper Computer Support should be standard with this cable.

Works as expected. Love it for studio work. Did a shoot at my son’s house and forgot it at home, made me realize how much I actually like using this cable

It’s not cheaply made and the wire held up to be moving around quite a bit and didn’t loosen at all in the port

I did not realize how bad my old cable was until I started using this one. Fast data transfer and a great length. Glad I didn’t go shorter.

I’d give this a 5 star but the first one I received was bad. It didn’t communicate with my 5D Mk II tethered to LR-5. I called B&H customer service and they quickly determined it was a bad one. Right away they emailed me the warranty papers and sent it back. While waiting for the replacement, I taped two cheap USB cable together to make 10 feet tether. It works, but I still prefer this high quality orange USB from tethered tools.

Bought this cable after watching a video about tethered shooting. Worked perfectly first time without issue.

Tethering while shooting headshots and glamour style shoots is really the only way to go for me. Instant gratification and the clients are more enthusiastic about what is working and understand what is not because they are able to see it full screen on a monitor as opposed to squinting over the cameras display. Combined with the Tether Tools JerkStopper it is an indispensable way of conducting business in today’s fast paced work environment. The connection is very firm and feels much more secure than the cable the camera manufacturer provided. The bright orange color truly does stand out in a dimly lit studio even more so than a white cable I’ve had by a lesser manufacturer.
