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.

Easy way to hook up my camera to my computer to down load photos. My camera use different data cards so it make it easier to hook up and down load without needing multiple card readers

I’ve used other cables in the past and this one our performed all. Shot for 10 hours straight without any connection problems or speed issues.

Works as advertised. No noticeable delay. Love the orange color in the dim lights. Right angle is the way to go and works better with the jerk stopper than a straight plug.

Great for tethered shooting

It works but I would prefer it Matt black or charcoal grey….it stands out like a sore thumb if you forget while shooting mirrors or reflected objects…. you can paint it black or Photoshop it out but ….why the extra effort?

USB 3.0 speed moves images to Macbook in seconds, tether length allows set-up variation to match the venue.

The right angle plug is really helpful, but it doesn’t stay connected all that well. I’ve purchased some other tether tools to help with that problem.

high quality connecting wire, but would too tightly in order to ship. hard to get kinks out.

If only the channel weren’t so totally flooded with cut-corners landfill-ready junk, but sadly it is, so even if cable IS pricier, at least it’s solidly made and actually works. This almost doubled the speed of my external SSD SATA to USB 3.0. Went from -125M to -225M. That’s not true USB 3.0 speed (and for that I blame my hardware not this cable) it’s a huge leap over the typical junk “USB 3.0” cables I was using. Thank heaven there are still quality manufacturers in existence. Thanks again B&H!

The cable itself might be a good thing. But it is so annoying when it doesn’t stay connected to the camera! I’m shooting tethered, and about every 3 to 5 minutes it gets out of my camera, causing me extreme frustration.

Great cables… like the orange color when you have people in the shoot who are clutz’s in the studio Also is great whenb you want to shoot to your laptop in remote locations

This cable made downloading my images from my Nikon D810 simple. Prior to using this cable it was a hassle.

Very stable. Good connectors on both ends. I use it with a jerk stop, so I’m comfortable regarding the safety of the camera’s USB port.

Did my first studio shoot of a five person local band, yesterday. As convenient as tethering is there are a lot of cables over which someone can stumble. This cord seemed to be the one ring that ruled them all: it gave loud notice to watch your step. It was a bit stiff so while this may make it durable, I did need to twist it to insert it correctly. Not a huge issue but I kept wondering what torque I was putting on that delicate USB port on the d810.

Straight up doesn’t work. Total waste of money.

very good quality and termination, I use it for a desktop LaCie and allows me to have it away from the desktop.

It is long enough to be useful but too long to get tangled – shooting tethered is great for feedback and validation

As usual a great quality cable by tether tools
