DESCRIPTION
The TetherPro Optima 10G TetherBoost Locking USB-C Extension Cable (16′, High-Visibility Orange)is engineered for photographers, videographers, and studio professionals who demand fast, stable, and rock-solid tethered connections between their camera and computer. Built on Tether Tools’ Optima 10G architecture with integrated TetherBoost technology, this cable delivers ultra-reliable data transfer up to 10 Gbps along extended distances—ideal for high-resolution capture, live shooting workflows, and uninterrupted file transfer during critical sessions.
Exceptional Performance for Demanding Shoots:
Designed from the ground up to excel under professional use, the Optima 10G cable features USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 support with dual integrated IC retimer chips that maintain signal integrity and speed across the entire 16 ft length, minimizing dropouts and latency even when tethered far from your workstation. This makes it a premium choice for studio photography, commercial shoots, and any scenario where mobility and reliability matter most.
Rugged and Field-Ready Construction:
The cable’s high-visibility orange jacket not only makes it easy to spot in busy studio environments, but it’s also weather-resistant, kink-proof, and shielded to withstand the rigors of professional use. Reinforced strain relief and Soft-Grip cable tips clearly labelled for camera vs. computer ends ensure quick, secure setup and help protect your gear from accidental pulls or mishandling.
TetherBoost Technology for Extended Reach:
TetherBoost’s built-in signal amplification enables consistent high-speed data transfer over long distances without power delivery interruptions, giving you the freedom to configure your shooting space exactly the way you need it. When paired with Tether Tools TetherBoost Pro Core Controller extensions (sold separately), you can extend your tethering range even further while maintaining optimum performance.

This cable is backward compatible with all USB-C devices and protocols, offering broad compatibility across cameras and computers that support USB-C tethering. It’s engineered specifically to handle the large file sizes and rapid data streams associated with modern DSLR and mirrorless workflows, giving you peace of mind that your connection—and your creative flow—will stay uninterrupted through every shoot.
