Losing Connection to Sony A1

I'm consistently losing connection to my Sony A1 when shooting tethered on an M1 MacBook Air. C1 just drops the connection and the only way to get it back is to pull the cable and re-connect it. Sometimes, it seems I also have to quit and restart C1. It will just drop the connection between shots - no changes to the camera settings and happens even when the camera is on a tripod, so cable not getting pulled.

I'm running the latest firmware on the A1 (though I saw the issue with 1.0 before upgrading it to 1.1). I'm using a 15 foot Tether Tools USB-C to USB-A along with the 1 foot Tether Tools USB-A to USB-C right angle cable.

The Mac is running 11.5.1 and I'm on the latest build of C1 21 (14.3.0).

I haven't seen this with any other Sony cameras, though I can't say for SURE if the issue started with the A1 or the Apple Silicon native version of C1 as I moved to those at the same time.
