Product Information

Full details

The Tether Tools TetherPro USB 3.0 to USB-C cable is designed for professional photographers who need a reliable, high-speed connection between their USB-C cameras and computers equipped with traditional USB-A ports. Offering a 15-foot reach, this cable ensures consistent data throughput and signal integrity for seamless tethered shooting; however, users should note that it is limited to USB-A hosts and may require an active extension for distances exceeding the native 4.6-meter length.

FAQs

Can I use this cable to charge my camera?

Yes, the cable supports power delivery, but its primary design goal is high-speed data transfer. Charging speeds will depend on the power output of your computer's USB port.

Is this cable compatible with Thunderbolt 3/4 ports?

While the connector is physically different (USB-A), you can use a USB-A to USB-C adapter if necessary, though it is always best to use a direct connection when possible.

Does the Ferrite core affect cable flexibility?

The Ferrite core adds a slight weight and stiffness near the connector, but it does not significantly hinder the overall maneuverability of the 15ft cable.

Why is the cable orange?

The high-visibility orange color is a signature Tether Tools feature designed to make the cable easily identifiable on dark studio floors, helping prevent tripping accidents.

Can I chain multiple cables together?

Passive cables should not be chained as this will cause significant signal degradation. Always use a TetherPro Active Extension if you need to exceed 15 feet.

Troubleshooting

Camera is not detected by software

Ensure the cable is firmly seated in both the camera and computer ports. If using a laptop, ensure the USB-A port is a USB 3.0 compatible port.

Intermittent connection drops

Check the cable for tight bends near the connectors. If the issue persists, the cable may be exceeding the maximum unpowered length for your specific camera's power output.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that you are plugged into a blue-colored USB 3.0/3.1 port on your computer, as plugging into a standard USB 2.0 port will significantly throttle data transfer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-speed 5 Gbps data transfer capability
  • Reinforced Ferrite core reduces signal noise
  • High-visibility orange color increases safety on set
  • Fully shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference
  • Eliminates the need for dongles or adapters

Cons

  • Fixed 15ft length may be too short for large sets without active extension
  • USB-A connector is limited to older or specific host computers
  • Not compatible with USB-C to USB-C host workflows

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is simple as the cable is true 'Plug and Play'—simply insert the USB-A end into your computer and the USB-C end into your camera. Because the USB-C connector is reversible, it ensures an easy connection even in dim studio lighting.

To ensure the longevity of your cable:

  • Avoid Sharp Bends: While durable, excessive kinking at the connector points can lead to internal wire fatigue over time.
  • Storage: When not in use, coil the cable using the 'over-under' method to prevent tangling and tension on the internal shielding.
  • Extension: If your workflow requires more than 15 feet, it is highly recommended to pair this with a TetherPro USB 3.0 Active Extension to maintain signal strength and data speed.
