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-C male connector on one end and a USB Type-C male connector on the other side, making it compatible with with external hard drives, memory card readers, digital cameras, 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.

This tether is long enough that I can move the computer easily. The orange color is much easier to see!

I have the 10′ cord but needed a little more length. This fit the bill – it transmits the photos from the camera to computer with no problems

Simply put, it is a solid, durable, and sturdy cable.

After avoiding buying expensive tether cables for years and having trouble with them all, I decided to go with the standard and it works!

so this is well constructed, visibly colored, nice length.. but i swear the USB standard is going to break me down psychologically. (i wonder if there is a USB tester box so i can plug in a cable and be told exactly what it’s capabilities are.) i bought this to serve as a a link to an audio interface. the particular interface uses USB B so i had to use an OWC USB4 hub. this cable would not handshake the MOTU Ultralite mk4 through this powered, capable hub. while other cables are fine with it. it was a pain, and i had to resort to balancing the MOTU mid-way from the computer to the tech booth, etc.. THAT said, the cable is happily -powering- my SSL 2+ USB interface. i THINK it will play nice with my MOTU mk5.. but who KNOWS with all the USB variations nows a days.. so this item feels well built and substantial, the cable is beefier than your average, the fit in my MacBookPro is snug, and when you find a setup that works, it’s great. on the one hand this is reasonably priced for the length. on the other, disappointed that this isn’t King Cable, and you’ll have to really test your configuration, the variables between USB A,B,C, 3.1, 4, particular hubs (no matter their price), is just a riot currently.. good luck! (but i like it when it works)
