15 ft FireWire cable with 4-pin to 6-pin connectors

This 15 ft cable links a 4-pin IEEE 1394 port to a 6-pin IEEE 1394 port for data transfer. It is suited to users connecting legacy camcorders or similar FireWire devices to a host controller. The fixed length provides reach across a typical desk or workbench. No external power adapter is required for the cable itself.

Before ordering check your port types

Verify that one device presents a 4-pin IEEE 1394 socket and the other a 6-pin IEEE 1394 socket. Confirm the host controller supports the IEEE 1394 standard used by your peripheral. Ensure the 15 ft span fits the intended routing without strain on the connectors. The cable carries data only and does not supply bus power to the 4-pin side.

Passive cable runs cool and silent

The assembly contains no active electronics so it generates no heat and makes no noise during operation. Power draw is limited to the signalling current provided by the host ports. The moulded strain reliefs protect the solder joints during normal handling. Performance depends on the host controller and device firmware rather than the cable itself.

Questions about this item

Does the 15 ft cable come ready to use or do I need adapters for a 4-pin camcorder and a 6-pin PC port?

The cable has a 4-pin IEEE 1394 connector on one end and a 6-pin IEEE 1394 connector on the other, so it plugs directly into a 4-pin camcorder and a 6-pin port without extra adapters.

Should I choose a different length or pin arrangement for my camcorder-to-PC link?

This model is a 15 ft 4-pin to 6-pin IEEE 1394 cable; if your devices match those connectors and the distance suits, this version fits the job.

What does the 15 ft length mean for signal quality when I connect my camcorder to the PC?

At 15 ft the cable stays within the IEEE 1394 cable-length guideline, so the link between your 4-pin camcorder and 6-pin PC port should run at the standard data rate without signal loss.
