IEEE 1394 6-pin to USB 2.0 cable

This cable connects a FireWire device with a 6-pin port to a USB 2.0 Type-A socket. It is intended for users who need to link legacy DV cameras, audio interfaces or scanners to a modern computer that lacks a native IEEE 1394 controller. The 4.5 metre length gives flexibility for desktop or studio layouts. It is sold as a new item.

Suitable for FireWire peripherals only

The adapter serves owners of 6-pin IEEE 1394 equipment such as video cameras, digital cameras, printers, scanners and digital audio gear. It will not work for devices that require a 4-pin or 9-pin FireWire connector, nor for hardware that needs bus power over the 6-pin line because USB 2.0 cannot supply the same power profile. Buyers who need a direct FireWire-to-FireWire link should look elsewhere.

6-pin male to USB 2.0 Type-A male connector

The decisive specification is the 6-pin IEEE 1394 male plug on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A male plug on the other. This pin-out determines whether the cable matches the port on your specific camera, sound card or other FireWire 400 device. The cable uses 28 AWG conductors inside a UL 20276 jacket and meets RoHS requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the 4.5 m cable reach a DV camera 15 ft away?

Yes, the 4.5 m length equals 15 ft so it spans that distance.

Which end plugs into the computer and which into the camera?

The USB 2.0 A male end goes into the computer; the IEEE 1394 6-pin male end goes into the camera.

When should I replace this 28 AWG copper cable?

Replace it if the jacket cracks, connectors loosen, or the 1394 link drops during capture.
