SecureLock – Built for Professional Tethering

Designed specifically for tethered photo workflows, the SecureLock system locks directly onto TetherPro Optima USB-C cable tips.

Simply slide the SecureLock housing forward to click into place — the orange indicator confirms it’s locked. To disconnect, slide the housing back for a quick release.

With the ability to withstand up to 22 lbs (10kg) of force, SecureLock dramatically reduces the risk of dropped connections during critical shoots.

True 10Gbps Performance Over Distance

Inside, dual TetherBoost Pro chipsets maintain full 10Gbps transfer speeds, ensuring:

• Fast RAW image delivery

• Stable performance on set

• Reliable large file transfers

• Consistent connection between camera and computer

Unlike standard extensions, Optima 10G maintains signal integrity over longer cable runs — ideal for studio, commercial and location work.

Rugged, Set-Ready Design

Built for real-world production environments, this extension cable features:

• Octagonal housing to resist pressure from carts and foot traffic

• Polypropylene inner sleeve for added strength

• Kink-proof, braided exterior to reduce wear

• Soft-grip cable tips with camera/computer labels

The result: a durable, professional-grade tether solution ready for heavy daily use.
