SecureLock and TetherBoost Performance
The custom SecureLock mechanism slides into place on TetherPro Optima Flexi-Connect tips, clicking securely with a visible indicator to confirm the lock. This keeps the connection stable even when the cable is tugged or moved during a shoot. Inside the extension, dual TetherBoost Pro chipsets amplify the signal, allowing full 10 Gbps transfer speeds to be maintained over longer distances than standard USB-C cables.
Rugged Build for Studio and Location Use
An octagonal outer housing and polypropylene inner sleeve give the cable excellent crush resistance, while the kink-proof, braided and shielded exterior protects against wear, signal interference and repeated bending. The design stands up well to being rolled over by carts or stepped on, making it well suited to demanding professional environments.
