USB 2.0 to Firewire 400 adapter

This cable connects legacy 4-pin IEEE 1394-a devices such as digital video cameras or camcorders to a standard USB Type-A port on a computer. It is intended for users who only need to view footage stored on the device. The male-to-male design requires no external power or driver installation.

Viewing-only file access

The adapter supports one-way data transfer from the Firewire device to the host for viewing purposes. It cannot capture or move files from the camera to the computer. Bandwidth is limited to the USB 2.0 interface, so sustained throughput will not reach the nominal 400 Mbps Firewire rate.

Passive copper construction

The three-foot copper cable draws power directly from the USB port and adds no active electronics. Heat and noise are negligible during normal viewing sessions. There is no fan or converter block to generate audible sound or measurable thermal load.

The adapter is USB 2.0 specification; actual throughput depends on the host controller and the camera, so observed speed may vary.
