The orange 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.

It’s a cable and it works. The bright orange color helps keep track of it so it doesn’t get mixed up with other cables, visibility to minimize trip hazard, but works best with two other accessories. To both minimize cable damage at the ends and to keep them from accidentally pulling out of the camera and computer, connecting Tether Tools Jerkstopper at each end is a great idea.

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 use the TetherPro cable for portraits at my home studio. I like the high visibility orange and 15 foot of cable.I purchased a similar product from another manufacturer and had too many dropouts, I purchased the tethered pro and have not had a single issue.

I’ve been an assistant to several pro photographers in my local area for a few years now and this is their go- to tether cable for Nikon, Canon, Hasselblad and Phase One medium format digital backs. The 15′ length responds relativley fast without having to use a booster and allowing plenty of moving space from your computer. I’ll be using my orange cable for tethering between my Macbook Pro and all my Nikon camera’s.

I purchased it to connect a Nikon D4 but the part that connects to the housung which connects to the camera is too thick and I cannot close the housing.

I’ve never shot tethered before. I’m a believer! This cable (along with the table and accessories) kept me organized and, more importantly, gave me confidence that my laptop and camera were secure. Worth the investment in my opinion!

This is exactly what I needed. Most cables are shorter and/or black. This bright orange 15′ cable is the way to go. Why make a black cable to tether to a computer in a dark studio I’ll never understand. Having 15′ makes it almost like not being tethered. This works on my d300s and to shi’a laptop.

I use this product to connect my Nikon D3 to my MacBook Pro to tether with Aperture. It works great, there is a usual delay on download images between the camera and software, but it’s quite normal. Only thing that I needed to teak a little was from the mini usb side I had to cut off a little rubber away so that it could fit into my Nikon D3 Cable Clip.

Worked really well with my Canon 1D-X in my event photo booth. 15′ of cable was shorter than I expected. I ordered the extension cable after the event. I highly recommend getting the extension cable.

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