Review on High-Speed TetherPro USB 3.0 to Micro-B Right Angle Cable - 15ft, High-Visibilty Orange - Tether Tools by Cody Cobbs

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Very poor quality cable, don't mess with it.

Ordered two of these cables. used it yesterday at work. The first stopped working after 4 hours of moderate use. It connects but as soon as the files are sent from the camera the software crashes. Then I tried another TetherPro cable and it didn't even connect the camera. Then I switched to my normal cables (including rectangular ones, I ordered them from another manufacturer) and everything worked perfectly. This means these cables are bad. This is the fourth time I've bought TetherPro cables and the longest they've lasted is a week before the cable fails. Of course I will no longer order cables from TetherPro. I think they just have to use very inferior cables. Cables I've bought from other manufacturers at a lower price have sometimes worked flawlessly for years, with heavy use. There is no excuse for a cable to fail within hours of normal use.

Pros
  • USB 2.0 backward compatible.
Cons
  • Something else
