Full details

This Tether Tools TetherPro USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 Micro-B Right Angle Adapter Cable is designed for photographers and videographers who need a reliable and secure connection for their tethering setups. Its primary benefit is the right-angle connection, which minimizes cable strain and prevents accidental disconnections, ensuring a stable workflow.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the right-angle connector?

The right-angle connector minimizes strain on your device's port and prevents the cable from extending outwards, reducing the risk of accidental disconnections and damage.

Can I use this cable with a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, the cable will likely function with a USB 2.0 port, but it will operate at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps), not the full USB 3.0 speeds (up to 5 Gbps).

What devices are compatible with this cable?

This cable is compatible with any camera or device that has a USB 3.0 Micro-B port, such as many DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, external hard drives, and other peripherals.

Is the 50cm length sufficient for most tethering needs?

The 50cm length is ideal for close-range tethering where the camera is near the computer or workstation. For longer distances, you may need to use a USB extension cable or a longer tethering cable.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, soft cloth to gently clean the connectors. Avoid using any liquids or solvents, as they can damage the delicate electronic components.

What does 'USB 3.0 SuperSpeed' mean for data transfer?

It means the cable supports theoretical data transfer speeds of up to 5 Gigabits per second (Gbps), which is significantly faster than USB 2.0, allowing for quicker transfer of large files.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure the cable is fully plugged into both the device and the computer. Verify that you are using a USB 3.0 port on the computer. Try a different USB 3.0 port or a different USB 3.0 cable to rule out the cable as the issue. Restart your computer.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both the device and the computer's ports are USB 3.0. Check that the cable is not being used with a USB 2.0 port. Ensure no other demanding USB devices are overwhelming the system's bandwidth. Update your computer's USB drivers.

Intermittent connection

Check for any damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the right-angle connector is not obstructed by the camera body or grip. Try a different USB port on your computer. Ensure the device's firmware is up to date.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes strain on device ports due to the right-angle design.
  • Prevents accidental disconnections by keeping the cable close to the device.
  • Offers fast USB 3.0 data transfer speeds for efficient workflows.
  • Durable construction suitable for professional use.
  • Compact 50cm length reduces cable management issues for close setups.

Cons

  • The 50cm length may be too short for some tethering configurations.
  • Requires a device with a USB 3.0 Micro-B port.
  • Not compatible with USB 2.0 Micro-B ports for full speed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB 3.0 Micro-B connector into the corresponding port on your camera or device. Connect the other end (USB 3.0 Type-A) to an available USB 3.0 port on your computer. Ensure both ends are securely seated.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB 3.0 Micro-B port. It requires a USB 3.0 port on the host computer (laptop or desktop) for optimal performance. While it may function at slower speeds with USB 2.0 ports, full USB 3.0 speeds will not be achieved.

Care: To maintain the cable's integrity, avoid sharp bends or kinks. Store the cable loosely coiled. Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents.
