What the cable is and who it is for

This BattleBorn cable connects a six-pin Firewire 1394A port to a four-pin Firewire 1394A port over a six-foot run. It ships as a five-pack of identical black leads for users who need multiple links between legacy digital cameras, external drives or audio interfaces and a host controller.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

The five-pack suits installers or studios wiring several devices at once. Buyers who only need a single replacement cable, or who require nine-pin 1394B connectors, will not be served by this listing.

Installation ease and common issues

Each lead plugs in without tools; the moulded strain relief resists damage from repeated insertion. The six-foot length can limit placement in larger racks, and the four-pin end cannot supply bus power to devices that depend on it.

Questions about this item

What type of Firewire port must my device have to use the 6-pin end of this cable?

The 6-pin connector plugs into a standard 6-pin IEEE 1394A port found on many desktop PCs and older external hard-drive enclosures.

Will this cable power a bus-powered 4-pin device such as a DV camcorder?

The 4-pin connector carries data only, so a bus-powered device will need its own power supply or a separate power adapter.

How can I confirm the link is active after connecting both ends?

The host computer should detect the Firewire device in Device Manager or System Profiler and the device's own status light, if fitted, will illuminate.
