Overview

The TetherPro Optima 10G USB-C 3.2 cable is built for reliable, high-speed tethered photography. Supporting data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps, it provides a consistent connection between camera and computer without the interruptions often caused by power delivery.

By focusing purely on data transmission, this cable helps maintain a steady link during capture, reducing dropouts and improving workflow efficiency. The high-visibility orange finish makes it easy to identify on set and helps minimise trip hazards in busy shooting environments. Constructed with a rugged, weather-resistant outer casing, it is designed to withstand regular professional use both in the studio and on location.

Who this is for

Professional photographers and digital technicians who need dependable, high-speed tethering with minimal connection issues.

How it works

This is an active USB-C cable with integrated dual IC chips that maintain signal strength across the full 3m length. By removing power delivery, the cable dedicates bandwidth solely to data transfer, helping to reduce interruptions during tethered shooting.

The insulated, shielded and braided construction helps prevent interference, while Soft-Grip connectors with camera and computer labels make setup quicker and more reliable.

Why choose this product

Standard USB-C cables often balance charging and data, which can compromise stability when tethering. This cable is purpose-built for image transfer, offering a more consistent connection during critical shoots.

Its durable build and high-visibility design also make it well suited to demanding environments where reliability and safety matter.

Ideal uses

• Tethered photography in studio settings
• On-location shoots with longer cable runs
• Digital tech stations and capture workflows
• Any setup requiring stable, high-speed data transfer
