LORDWORLD FireWire 400 Cable

This LORDWORLD cable connects two FireWire 400 devices using 6-pin male connectors on each end. It measures 1.8 metres and supports data rates up to 400 Mbps. The twisted pair construction and triple shielding reduce cross talk. It meets IEEE 1394a specifications for reliable performance.

Suitable for legacy FireWire 400 equipment

This cable suits users linking camcorders, external drives or audio interfaces that have 6-pin IEEE 1394a ports. Plug-and-play and hot-swap support allow connection without shutting down the computer. Buyers needing 4-pin or 9-pin connectors, or longer cable runs, should look at other options.

6-pin to 6-pin IEEE 1394a interface

The decisive specification is the 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire 400 interface compliant with IEEE 1394a. Both connected devices must present a 6-pin port for this cable to function. Verify the port type on your hardware before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to connect two FireWire 400 devices?

The box contains one 1.8 m cable with 6-pin male connectors on both ends. No extra adapters or drivers are required; just plug each end into a 6-pin FireWire 400 port.

The cable is listed as 1.8 m — is that the only length available for this model?

Yes, this model is supplied only in the 1.8 m length. If you need a shorter or longer run you would have to choose a different cable.

The spec says 400 Mbps — what speed will I actually see when transferring video from a DV camcorder?

The 400 Mbps figure is the interface maximum. Real-world throughput depends on the camcorder and the host controller, but the twisted-pair, triple-shielded design keeps the link running at the full FireWire 400 rate the device supports.
