Product Information

Full details

This TetherPro USB-C to USB 2.0 Micro-B cable is designed for photographers who need to connect a camera with a USB 2.0 Micro-B port to a modern computer with a USB-C port. Its primary benefit is providing a direct, reliable connection without adapters, ensuring fast data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbit/s. A key consideration is that it supports USB 2.0 speeds, not the faster USB 3.0 or 3.1, making it suitable for cameras that only utilize USB 2.0 for tethering.

While the cable will physically connect to a USB 3.0 camera that has a Micro-USB B 5-pin port, the transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s). For full USB 3.0 speeds, you would need a USB 3.0 compatible cable.

No, the USB-C connector is reversible, meaning it can be plugged in either way up.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable is 4.6 meters (approximately 15 feet) long.

Is this cable compatible with all USB-C ports?

Yes, it is compatible with any standard USB-C port on a computer. However, the data transfer speed will adhere to USB 2.0 specifications.

Do I need to install any software for this cable to work?

No, this cable features Plug and Play functionality and does not require any additional software or driver installation.

What devices typically use a USB 2.0 Micro-B 5-pin connector?

Older digital cameras, external hard drives, and some audio interfaces commonly use the USB 2.0 Micro-B 5-pin connector.

Troubleshooting

Camera not recognized by computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Verify that your camera's USB mode is set correctly for tethering (consult your camera manual). Try connecting to a different USB-C port on your computer. Restart both your computer and camera.

Slow or interrupted data transfer

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure no other high-bandwidth devices are simultaneously using the same USB controller. Clean the connectors. Confirm your camera is using USB 2.0 settings, as attempting to force higher speeds will not work.

Cable feels loose when connected

Inspect the Micro-USB B port on your camera and the cable's connector for debris or damage. If the port or connector is worn, it may require professional attention or replacement of the camera or cable.

Plug and Play functionality for quick setup.

Cons

Limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbit/s), not suitable for cameras requiring USB 3.0 or higher.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a Plug and Play device. Simply connect the USB-C end to your computer's USB-C port and the Micro-USB B end to your camera's corresponding port. No drivers or software installation are necessary. Ensure your camera is powered on and configured for tethering (refer to your camera's manual for specific settings).

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any computer featuring a USB-C port and any camera or device that uses a USB 2.0 Micro-B 5-pin port. It is important to note that while it connects to a USB-C port, the data transfer speed is limited to USB 2.0 standards (480 Mbit/s).

Care:

Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Avoid bending the cable sharply or wrapping it too tightly, as this can damage the internal wires.
Keep connectors clean; use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe them if necessary. Avoid using liquids.
When disconnecting, pull by the connector housing, not the cable itself, to prevent strain on the connection points.
