Best Tethering Cable

[Dafilman21]

Greetings all I'm in the process of building out a studio and was wondering what the best tethering cable for the x2d?  I have been looking at the usuals (area51, IQ and tether tools). What has worked the best in your experience?

I use IQwire cables and they are faultless. They look similar to the Area 51 cables: https://nine-volt.com/products/iqwire-the-intelligent-photography-tether-cable?variant=33623055401019

2nd. 5m, 10m, they all work.

Avoid tether tools, they are good for the X1D, but don't work on the X2D. And look for the older IQwire types, the orange ones. The connector on the new black type fits tighter but the angled connector is too small. You need to open both port doors for that one, not ideal.

I am on Mac ecosystem (desktop and laptop). I have tried many tethering cables and now I use Thunderbolt 4 cables. Reliable and fast. Same cable as well for uploading the files.
For iPad/iPhone, which I rarely use, I do wirelessly.
