Tether Tools TetherPro Optima 10G 31′ (9.4m) USB-C to USB-C Straight to Right Angle Cable
Product Description
The Tether Tools TetherPro Optima 10G cable represents the pinnacle of tethered shooting technology, delivering lightning-fast 10 Gbps data transfer over an impressive 9.4-metre distance. This isn't just another USB cable - it's a purpose-built solution that eliminates the frustrations of interrupted connections and sluggish transfers that plague standard cables. The straight-to-right-angle design provides flexible positioning options, whilst the high-visibility orange casing ensures you'll never trip over it during a shoot.
This cable is engineered specifically for professional photographers, digital technicians, and videographers who demand reliability during critical tethered sessions. Whether you're shooting high-resolution studio portraits, conducting product photography with instant client review, or capturing fast-paced fashion shoots where every frame counts, this cable keeps pace with your workflow.
Traditional USB cables often suffer from power delivery conflicts that cause dropped connections and workflow interruptions at the worst possible moments. This dedicated data transfer cable completely eliminates power delivery, focusing exclusively on stable, uninterrupted image transfer. The result is consistent, reliable performance that lets you concentrate on your craft rather than troubleshooting connection issues.
Built-in TetherBoost technology amplifies signals across the full 9.4-metre length, maintaining transfer speeds that would typically degrade over distance. The dual reinforced TetherBoost modules feature high-impact ridges with octagonal casings that withstand the rigours of studio environments - from equipment carts rolling over them to the inevitable foot traffic of busy shoots. The weather-resistant, kink-proof housing combines durability with flexibility, whilst soft-grip cable tips clearly labelled for camera and computer connections make setup intuitive and secure. When you need even greater distance, pair it with TetherBoost Pro Core Controller extensions to achieve ranges up to 19.2 metres.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Use the ProTab cable tie to secure the cable near your camera's USB port, reducing strain on the connection
✓ Coil the cable loosely in large loops when storing to maintain the internal wire integrity
✓ Wipe down the weather-resistant housing with a damp cloth after dusty or outdoor shoots
✓ Check that you've connected the correctly labelled end to your camera and computer for optimal performance
✓ Consider pairing with a TetherGuard cable support system for additional port protection on expensive camera bodies
✗ Don't use this cable for charging devices - it's optimised exclusively for data transfer and won't provide power delivery
✗ Don't wrap the cable tightly around itself or create sharp bends, even though it's kink-resistant
✗ Don't disconnect the cable by pulling on the wire itself - always grip the connector housings firmly
✗ Don't assume your camera supports 10G transfer speeds - check the compatibility list or your camera's specifications first
✗ Don't mix this cable with non-Tether Tools extensions - use TetherBoost Pro Core Controllers for reliable extended distances
