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 3.0 cable that is equipped with a Type-A male connector on one end and a USB micro-B 10-pin male connector on the other side, making it compatible with external hard drives, memory card readers, and more. This USB 3.0 cable is 15′ long and transmits data at a rate of up to 5 Gb/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.

So far I’ve have nothing but issues with this cable. After trying to use it with Reikan Focal, I was getting error after error after error. I thought it was either Focal or the camera. I contact Reikan with the error message details and it pointed to a USB connectivity issue. Sure enough, I tried two other USB 3.0 cables and Focal worked without a single error. I even tried hooking up one of these cheepier USB 3.0 cables with an old USB 2.0 extender I’ve had laying around for ten years worked perfectly (i.e., length wasn’t the issue either). Getting a replacement cable, but don’t have high hopes.

The tether cable is great for live photo shoots. I’m a portrait photographer and use my computer as a helpful tool for myself and the model. Connecting the camera to the computer to see real time images allows the model to see exactly how to improve posing and make adjustments immediately.

It became necessary because I bought 5D Mk4.I am using other cables of Tether Tools, but I like it because it has good thickness and texture. PS : It’s a bit pricey, is not it.

Contrary to the TetherTools website, this cable will go UP if you plug it into a Pentax 645Z. Apparently all other cameras with this connector have it facing the opposite direction, so that the cable will indeed hang down. But the Pentax seems to have reversed this. Otherwise it’s probably a great cable for tethering!

The cable was exactly what I needed, it arrived quickly, works fine and the B&H ordering system was flawless.

Needed to upgrade my USB cable and have bought TetherPro in the past. The 3.0 cable should have a performance boost over the 2.0 which is why I bought it. Not sure if there’s anything unique about the cable itself other than the high visibility orange, so the cost may be a turnoff for some. I tend to stick with certain brands and TetherTools makes a diverse, nice line of products.

I like the orange. Like a hunters vest it’s easy to see in a room full of people moving about. The cord is heavy gauge and plugs in very securely.

After using the cord suddenly it stopped working on my one of my IMAC it works fine with the older one but with the New Imac

This product works precisely as described and for tethering in the studio or photo shooting environment. I like the orange color as it visually cues to location and placement and helps to prevent tripping over cable. I recommend this product highly for safety and convenience.

This is a high quality cable that I use to tether a Nikon D810 to a computer with a Windows based O S. It works without a problem.
