USB cable Tether Tools CU61RT15-ORG — USB A to Micro-USB B, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s), 4.6 m, orange

The Tether Tools CU61RT15-ORG is a 4.6 m USB data cable with a standard USB-A straight male connector and a right-angle Micro-USB B male connector, supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) data rates up to 5 Gbit/s. The cable is built to high USB specifications, fully shielded to reduce signal noise and transmission errors, and features a high-visibility orange jacket for easier routing and identification in studio or on-location setups. The right-angle Micro-USB connector is intended to route down the side of compatible cameras to reduce interference with camera grips, L-brackets and accessories while maintaining reliable high-speed connections between cameras, peripherals and host devices.

Advantages

The cable provides SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s and is constructed to meet current USB standards for consistent conductivity and reduced transmission errors. Its full shielding and quality connectors help protect against external signal interference. The right-angle Micro-USB B connector minimizes stress at the camera port and improves cable routing when an L-bracket or other accessories are used. The bright orange outer jacket increases visibility in busy workspaces, which helps with fast identification and safer cable management.

Suitable for

• Tethered photography and studio shooting where long, reliable data connections are required
• On-location photo and video shoots that benefit from visible, easy-to-route cabling
• Connecting cameras or peripherals with Micro-USB B ports to host devices with USB-A ports
• Setups using camera plates or L-brackets that interfere with straight connectors

Key specifications

• Cable length: 4.6 m
• Interface: USB-A straight male to Micro-USB B right-angle male
• Data transfer: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s / SuperSpeed)
• Shielding: fully shielded construction to reduce signal noise
• Jacket color: orange for high visibility
• Intended use: data transmission between cameras/peripherals and host devices

How to use

Connect the USB-A straight male end to the host device (computer, hub or compatible power/data source) and insert the right-angle Micro-USB B male end into the camera or peripheral Micro-USB port. Ensure connectors are aligned before insertion to avoid damage to ports. For best performance, use a supported USB 3.2 Gen 1 port on the host device and confirm device drivers or software recognize the connected device. Avoid tight bends at the connector ends and route the cable so it does not place undue strain on the camera's port or accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable with a cable support or strain relief (for example a camera support strap or clamp) when shooting tethered to prevent accidental disconnection. For setups experiencing power or connectivity instability with USB 3.x connections, consider using a power-regulating controller or active booster to maintain a stable connection. Store the cable coiled without sharp bends and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.
