The black Tether Tools TetherPro USB 2.0 Type-A to 5-Pin Mini-USB Cable is 15′ 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.

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.

The length allows for a wide range in movement during a tethered photoshoot

This cord works great and have I no problems connecting my D7100 to Lightroom. I did learn the tip to take the SD cards out of the camera before connecting or Lightroom tries to read all the files on the cards before acknowledging the camera. Nothing to do with the cable though. I’m happy with this as my first tethering cord.

I have had the Tether Table and 15′ Tether cord for almost a month now. Very pleased with the functionality and ease of use! This cord is heavy duty, not flimsy.

The cable works well with my Nikon D90 tethered to my 2-3 year old MacBook Pro with USB ports. The cable seems to be very well constructed and never had an issue with getting images to the notebook. Found the length to work very well for my small available space. Would recommend to anybody with a similar camera and notebook.

I can’t imagine shooting without this cable. It is great quality, very flexible, and the length is great! I shoot in the studio and in the field, and if you are tethered, you need freedom to move around. This is the best cable I’ve used. The connections to pc and Nikon D90 were both perfect.

How I use this product: – I use this cable to connect my Canon EOS 5D Mark III to shoot tethered with Capture One Pro. I heard that some people have had problems with a frequently appearing error message. Be sure to go to Edit Preferences Capture Enable Tethered Support and only check the brands you actually use. This will allow the program to instantly narrow down to identifying what you’re shooting with for a better connection. I just tested this out on my most recent catalog shoot and it eliminated the hiccups! 😀 What’s great about it: – The cable is lengthy and transmission of images to the computer seems very fast even though it’s USB 2.0. What’s not so great about it: – They haven’t made a USB 3.0 version of this specific thread (5-pin male), but this one works well for me already. Overall: – It’s pretty straight to the point. If you have multiple ports and some are USB 2.0/3.0, use the 2.0 ones. Don’t forget about the Enabled Tethered Support that I mentioned. I hope that helps! =

I didn’t think I needed this, until I realized the number of times I walked around in the studio with my camera tethered and accidentally pulled out the USB cable I used or stepped on it. This item is bright orange so you always see it and can always find it.

a 15 ft cable to tether your camera to your computer is a great idea. Good customer service for advising me… The only problem is it often comes out of my camera, disrupting the whole tethering.

We are using this for a HS commercial photography class. It is tethered to Lightroom and works well with our D7000 and 60D. the orange color helps with potential trip hazard. I’m sure we will order more in the future.

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.
