The orange Tether Tools TetherPro USB 2.0 Type-A to 5-Pin Mini-USB Cable is 1′ long and has gold-plated connectors to provide consistent and reliable conductivity as well as corrosion resistance. The ends of this cable feature a standard USB Type-A male connector and the other side is outfitted with a 5-pin mini-B male plug, which is compatible with most digital cameras.
To deliver data at speeds up to 480 Mb/s, Tether Tools has equipped this cable with USB 2.0 technology. It sports a reinforced Ferrite core that filters out signal noise and reduces transmission errors. In addition, the full-lined shielding feature protects the signal against external interference.

I’ve yet to find anything wrong! This cable is well made and had no problem linking up with my Nikon.

The TetherPro cable is easy to use and offers a nice, long reach. I used this in combination with the JerkStopper and it worked very well for a head shot marathon.

I use the TetherPro USB Mini_B 5-pin cable to tether my D4 to Adobe Light room software on my Laptop computer for my Event photography. This cable replaced the cable that came with the camera and an extension cable. I have noticed an increase in the transfer speed from camera to computer since I started using the TetherPro cable with a direct connection to the laptop versus connection with an extension cable between camera and laptop.

We needed a tough, long cord to go from a Canon mkIV to a laptop for comercial shoots and this was the answer. I was a little put off by the bright color, but I am glad about it now. No confusing it with anything else laying about. Highly recommended!

To tether your camera this is a good choice. But make sure which adaptor end is for your camera. For example a Nikon D610 uses a 5 pin connector. A Nikon D750 uses an 8 pin connector and a Canon 7D uses a USB 3 connector.

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.

As I’m starting in portraits photography, I really believe that tethering is a good thing to do. This cable really helps.

I bought the cable specifically for a photo booth-esque setup at an event. We shot tethered to the computer and printed souvenir photos instantly. The bright orange color and 15′ length were both very handy.

I use this cable to connect (tether) my camera to my computer, so i can immediately review the photo on a big screen right after I click the shutter. This is great for food or product photography!! Orange color helps prevent tripping!

I attached this to my Canon 5DIII for a studio photo shoot recently. This allowed me to show the model & fashion designer the images as I was taking them so we could maintain social distancing.

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.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted and how did I know? I didn’t! However, there was a patient, kind, polite and knowledgable salesperson at the NYC B&H store who researched for me the right cable to use for tethering. Great product, AWESOME service.
