Professional tethering cable
The TetherPro Optima 10G is a dedicated data-only USB-C cable built for photographers and digital technicians who need immediate camera recognition in tethering software. Its architecture removes Power Delivery interference to prevent dropped connections during studio or location shoots. The straight-to-straight design suits direct device-to-computer workflows without adapters.
10 Gb/s bandwidth and 1.8 m reach
Rated for USB 3.1 and 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gb/s, the cable handles high-resolution raw file transfer and live view streaming with comfortable headroom. Integrated signal optimisation maintains stable throughput at the full 1.8 metre length, so the link stays reliable across typical tethering distances. The data-only construction means no charging or power negotiation occurs on this link.
USB-C data-only limits
Because the cable carries only data, it cannot deliver power to charge a camera or drive bus-powered peripherals. Users must manage device power separately through batteries or dedicated supplies. Fujifilm GFX-Series USB-C cameras should not use this 1.8 m length without an inline TetherBoost device, while other supported camera systems operate without restriction.
