Overview

The TetherPro Optima 10G USB-C 3.2 cable is designed for dependable, high-speed tethered shooting. With data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, it delivers a stable connection between camera and computer without the interruptions often caused by power delivery.

Engineered specifically for photographers and digital technicians, this cable prioritises consistent data flow for smoother image transfer and more reliable on-set performance. Its high-visibility orange finish helps prevent trip hazards and keeps your setup clearly marked in busy environments. A durable, weather-resistant outer casing protects against wear, kinks and signal interference, making it suitable for both studio and location work.

Who this is for

Photographers and digital techs who rely on fast, uninterrupted tethering in studio or on location, and need a cable that stands up to regular professional use.

At a glance

• USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with up to 10Gbps data transfer
• Type-C to Type-C active cable with dual IC chips

How it works

This is an active USB-C cable with built-in dual IC chips that maintain consistent signal strength across the full 3m length. By removing power delivery, the cable focuses entirely on data transfer, helping reduce dropouts and improving reliability during tethered shooting.

The insulated, shielded and braided construction helps prevent interference, while Soft-Grip tips with clear camera/computer labelling speed up setup and reduce connection errors.

Why choose this cable

Many USB-C cables try to handle both charging and data, which can introduce instability during tethered shooting. This cable is purpose-built for data transfer only, giving you a more consistent connection when it matters.

Its robust construction and visibility also make it better suited to real-world production environments, where cables are frequently moved, packed and used under pressure.

Ideal uses

• Tethered photography in studio environments
• On-location shoots requiring reliable data transfer
• Digital tech workstations
• Long cable runs where stability matters
