15 ft FireWire 400 cable for legacy devices

This 15 ft cable carries a 6-pin male connector at each end for IEEE 1394a equipment. It suits owners of older camcorders, audio interfaces or external drives that still rely on the FireWire 400 interface. The black jacket and standard pin-out make it a direct replacement for worn or missing original leads.

6-pin to 6-pin connector decides compatibility

Only devices fitted with 6-pin IEEE 1394a ports can use this cable; 4-pin or 9-pin ports will not mate. The male-to-male gender means both ends plug into female sockets on the host and peripheral. No adapters or gender changers are included in the package.

15 ft length gives desktop reach without excess

At 15 ft the cable spans a typical desk-to-rack or camera-to-computer distance while avoiding the signal degradation of longer runs. It handles standard DV capture and 400 Mbit/s data transfers comfortably. Very long daisy-chains or permanent installation through walls will exceed the practical range of this passive copper assembly.

Questions about this item

What does the 400 Mbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my computer?

The 400 Mbps rating is the maximum data rate of the IEEE 1394a standard this cable supports; actual throughput depends on the host controller, the connected device and system overhead.

Which FireWire interface does the 6-pin connector use and what does it limit?

The 6-pin connectors follow the IEEE 1394a (FireWire 400) specification, capping the link at 400 Mbps and providing bus power to devices that need it.

Will the 15 ft length and 6-pin plugs fit my external hard drive enclosure?

The cable is 15 ft long with a 6-pin male plug on each end, so it fits any device or port that uses the standard 6-pin IEEE 1394a connector.
