How to use

Connect the USB A end to your computer and the Micro‑USB B end to the camera or digital back. For tethered shooting, route the cable to avoid strain on the camera connector and, when possible, secure it with a camera support such as a JerkStopper or TetherBlock to prevent accidental disconnection from shallow USB 3.0/3.2 ports. If your tether distance exceeds 4.6 m, follow USB specifications for active extensions and consider using a TetherBoost Pro for power regulation.

Recommendations

For the most stable tethered connection use the CU5454 with a TetherBlock or JerkStopper to relieve connector strain and add a TetherBoost Pro Core Controller when using long runs or when the camera requires regulated power to prevent USB connectivity issues.
