No real special cable... just get a 15 or 20 ft usb a to b cable.

I have, I think, a 15ft cable, which works fine. I originally bought the cable for a printer, but it see much more use for tethering since I hardly ever print anything in-house any more.

I have a 20 feet USB cable at home for tethering/USB transfer (yes, I am one of those wackos that doesn't use a card reader).
