Black cable with USB-A plug and FireWire 6-pin plug, 1.8 m

Enfain

Enfain IEEE 1394 4-Pin Male to USB 2.0 A Male Firewire Cable 1.8 m

SKU CH-62JP-02Q91

A 1.8 m cable linking a 4-pin Firewire device to a USB 2.0 port for video cameras, digital cameras, printers, scanners and other IEEE 1394 audio or video equipment

Length 1.8 m

  • Connects 1394 devices to USB 2.0 ports via 6-pin to Type-A adaptor
  • 8 m cable length gives flexible placement for cameras and audio gear
  • 28 AWG conductors with aluminium shielding meet IEEE 1394 electrical requirements
  • Black UL20276 jacket rated 5.5 mm diameter resists wear in studio or mobile use
  • Passes high-pressure and reliability tests and complies with RoHS standards

Connection type

The Enfain IEEE 1394 cable provides a 4-pin male to USB 2.0 Type-A male link measuring 1.8 metres. It is built for users who need to connect legacy FireWire 400 devices such as DV cameras or audio interfaces to a modern USB port.

Who it suits

The cord suits anyone with a 4-pin FireWire peripheral that must plug into a USB 2.0 host. It will not work for equipment that requires a 6-pin or 9-pin FireWire connector, nor for devices that need bus power delivered through the FireWire link.

Deciding specification

The cable uses 28 AWG copper conductors in a 5.5 mm jacket built to the UL20276 standard. This construction determines whether the assembly meets the IEEE 1394 electrical requirements for your specific device.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose — 1.8 m, 3 m or 5 m?

Choose the shortest length that reaches your device; the 1.8 m option keeps signal loss lowest for Firewire 400 connections.

What does the 400 Mbit/s rating mean when I plug this into a real PC?

The cable carries IEEE 1394 data at up to 400 Mbit/s, matching the Firewire 400 port on your camera or audio interface.

How does the USB 2.0 Type-A connector limit the Firewire 400 signal?

The USB 2.0 Type-A plug is used only for physical connection; the cable passes native Firewire 400 signals without protocol conversion.
