Additional Details
The 20” (51cm) length makes this adapter ideal for close-range setups, such as connecting directly to a camera-mounted monitor, tablet, or phone, or for use as a short breakaway cable before a longer locking extension. The right-angle connector keeps the cable low-profile and reduces the risk of accidental strain or damage to your camera’s USB-C port, especially during handheld or moving shoots. Its weather-resistant, easy-clean housing and robust internal shielding ensure long-term reliability in both studio and on-location environments.

It is especially useful for photographers and digital techs who want the flexibility to quickly disconnect and reconnect, or who run longer locking cables but want a secure, sacrificial link at the camera end. If you value reliability and clean, stress-free tethering, this adapter is a smart and inexpensive upgrade.
