8-inch Firewire 800 link cable

This 8-inch CableMAX cable connects two IEEE 1394 devices with 6-pin male connectors on each end. It is built for users who need a short, high-speed link between a computer and a compatible peripheral such as a camcorder or external drive. The compact length keeps internal or desktop cable runs tidy.

800 Mb/s transfer rate

The cable supports the Firewire 800 standard, moving data at up to 800 megabits per second. That single bandwidth figure determines whether the link can handle your video capture or bulk file transfer without bottlenecking the workflow.

Daisy-chains up to 63 devices

The design permits daisy-chaining up to 63 individual pieces of equipment from a single computer port. Hot-plug capability means devices can be added or removed without powering down the host, simplifying multi-device setups.

Questions about this item

What does the 800 Mb/s rating mean when the cable is connected between two devices?

The link can move up to 800 megabits per second between the two connected units, which is the maximum throughput defined for the Firewire 800 interface.

How does the IEEE 1394 interface limit the number of devices I can chain together?

The standard permits up to 63 individual pieces of equipment to be daisy-chained from a single computer port.

Will the 8-inch length and 6-pin connectors fit my equipment without an adapter?

The cable measures eight inches end to end and carries 6-pin male plugs on both sides, so it fits any port that accepts a standard 6-pin Firewire connector.
