IEEE 1394 cable with 4-pin to 9-pin connectors

This NEON Drive cable provides a 300cm link between Firewire devices. It suits users who need to connect legacy peripherals such as external hard drives, printers or scanners. The 4-pin to 9-pin male ends bridge the two common IEEE 1394 port sizes. The 10-ft length adds reach for awkward desk layouts.

Suits legacy Firewire gear.

The cable works with equipment that still uses IEEE 1394 ports. It helps anyone extending a short factory lead on a scanner or drive enclosure. It is not for buyers whose devices only offer USB, eSATA or SATA interfaces. The 4-pin and 9-pin plugs will not fit those sockets.

4-pin to 9-pin gender decides compatibility

Check each device for a 4-pin or 9-pin IEEE 1394 socket before ordering. One end of this cable is a 4-pin male plug, the other is a 9-pin male plug. If both ports are the same size you need a different cable. The 300cm length is fixed and cannot be altered.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 4-pin to 9-pin Firewire cable and what is the common mistake?

Plug the 4-pin end into the peripheral and the 9-pin end into the host port; the common mistake is forcing the connector upside down because the keying notch is offset.

What maintenance or replacement will this 300cm IEEE 1394 cable need over time?

Inspect the strain reliefs and connector pins periodically; replace the cable if the moulded boots crack or pins become bent, as the copper cores are not user-serviceable.

What limit appears first when using this 10-foot Firewire link for sustained transfers?

The IEEE 1394 interface bandwidth is the bottleneck before the 300cm copper length introduces measurable signal loss.
