6-Pin FireWire 400 Cable

This CableMAX cable carries the IEEE 1394 FireWire 400 interface with 6-pin male connectors on both ends. It spans six feet and is rated for 30V at up to 80C. The black jacket suits desktop and studio environments.

Suits legacy AV gear; not for 4-pin or 9-pin ports

Editors digitising DV footage or connecting older external drives will find the 400Mbps link reliable and driver-free. Builders whose devices use 4-pin or 9-pin FireWire sockets cannot use this cable without a separate adapter.

6-pin male-to-male connector decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 6-pin male-to-male termination matching the IEEE 1394 standard. If your equipment requires a different pin count, this cable will not connect.

Questions about this item

What port must my computer already have to use this 6-pin FireWire cable?

Your computer needs an IEEE 1394 port with a 6-pin socket to accept the male connectors on this cable.

Will this cable work with an older DV camcorder that has a 6-pin FireWire 400 port?

Yes, the 6-pin to 6-pin design connects directly to legacy DV camcorders and other FireWire 400 devices at up to 400Mbps.

How can I confirm the cable is transferring data at the rated 400Mbps after I plug it in?

Check your system's device manager or transfer a large video file; a sustained throughput near 400Mbps shows the link is operating at full FireWire 400 speed.
