Tether Tools TetherPro Optima 10G 15′ (4.6m) USB-C to USB-C Straight to Right Angle Cable
Stock Available: 2
Product Description
The Tether Tools TetherPro Optima 10G cable delivers professional-grade tethered shooting performance with lightning-fast 10 Gbps data transfer over a versatile 4.6-metre length. This purpose-engineered cable solves the persistent problem of unreliable connections by eliminating power delivery entirely, focusing exclusively on stable, uninterrupted image transfer. The straight-to-right-angle design offers flexible positioning for your camera setup, whilst the high-visibility orange casing ensures the cable remains visible in busy studio environments.
Designed for professional photographers, digital technicians, and videographers who can't afford connection failures during critical shoots, this cable excels in studio environments, location work, and any tethered shooting scenario. Whether you're capturing high-resolution commercial photography, conducting client-directed portrait sessions, or shooting product photography with instant review capabilities, this cable provides the reliability your workflow demands.
Standard USB cables frequently suffer from power delivery conflicts that interrupt data flow at crucial moments, leading to lost images and frustrated clients. This dedicated data transfer cable completely removes power delivery from the equation, channelling all its capability into maintaining a rock-solid connection. The result is consistent, dependable performance that lets you focus on your creative vision rather than cable troubleshooting.
Built-in TetherBoost technology maintains full 10 Gbps speeds across the entire 4.6-metre distance without the signal degradation typical of standard cables. The dual reinforced TetherBoost modules feature protective high-impact ridges with octagonal casings designed to withstand the realities of professional environments - equipment carts, foot traffic, and the general chaos of active shoots. The weather-resistant, kink-proof housing combines impressive durability with the flexibility needed for efficient cable routing, whilst soft-grip cable tips with clear camera/computer labelling eliminate setup confusion. For shoots requiring greater distances, pair this cable with TetherBoost Pro Core Controller extensions to achieve ranges up to 19.2 metres whilst maintaining full transfer speeds.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Use the ProTab cable tie to secure the cable near your camera's USB port, creating a strain relief loop
✓ Store the cable in loose, wide loops to preserve the internal wire structure and TetherBoost modules
✓ Clean the weather-resistant housing with a damp cloth after shoots in dusty or outdoor environments
✓ Match the labelled cable ends to their correct devices (camera/computer) for optimal signal flow
✓ Consider adding a TetherGuard support system to protect your camera's USB port from accidental pulls
✗ Don't expect this cable to charge your devices - it's engineered purely for data transfer without power delivery
✗ Don't create tight coils or sharp bends when storing, even with its kink-resistant design
✗ Don't yank the cable free by pulling the wire - always grip the connector housings when disconnecting
✗ Don't assume your camera automatically supports 10G speeds - verify compatibility with your specific model first
✗ Don't use third-party extensions for distance - stick with TetherBoost Pro Core Controllers for reliable extended range
