9-Pin to 4-Pin Firewire Link

This 2-Power PASOW cable bridges IEEE 1394b 9-pin ports to legacy 1394a 4-pin connectors. It suits users connecting older DV camcorders, external drives or audio interfaces to newer Firewire 800 host controllers. The six-foot length provides flexible desktop routing without excess slack.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

Rated up to 800 Mbps, actual throughput is limited by the slowest connected device or port, so 4-pin 1394a endpoints will operate at 400 Mbps. Twisted-pair construction and triple shielding reduce cross-talk, helping maintain signal integrity during long captures or batch transfers. Hot-plug and plug-and-play support allow device changes without host restart.

Thermals Noise and Power

Passive copper conductors draw no external power and generate no audible noise. The cable adds negligible heat to the system and requires no active cooling. Shielding minimises electromagnetic interference with nearby components during normal operation.

Questions about this item

Does the 800 Mbps cable run hot or draw extra power during long transfers?

The cable is passive copper with twisted-pair construction and triple shielding; it carries signal only and does not generate noticeable heat or draw additional power during extended use.

What ports must my computer and device already have for this 9-pin to 4-pin cable to work?

Your computer needs a 9-pin IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) port and your device needs a 4-pin IEEE 1394a (FireWire 400) port; the cable bridges those two connector types directly.

Will this 800 Mbps cable slow down my older 400 Mbps camcorder or external drive?

The cable is backward compatible and rated up to 800 Mbps, but actual speed is limited by the slower 400 Mbps port on the legacy device, so it will operate at that device's maximum rate.
