Vszerda Firewire 800 9-pin to 6-pin Cable 1.8m

SKU CH-P8N4-V3HFP

Connects FireWire 800 9-pin and 400 6-pin devices for video capture and data transfer over 1.8 m with shielded copper conductors and gold-plated plugs

  • FireWire 800 to 400 connectivity links 9-pin and 6-pin devices
  • IEEE 1394 compliant design ensures reliable data transfer
  • Pure copper core supports high-speed video capture cards and camcorders
  • Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signals
  • Gold-plated plugs resist corrosion and maintain consistent contact performance

IEEE 1394 bridge cable

This Vszerda cable connects FireWire 800 9-pin ports to legacy FireWire 400 6-pin devices. It suits owners of DV camcorders, video capture cards or older laptops that still rely on the IEEE 1394 interface for video, audio and data transfer.

Pure copper with gold contacts

A pure copper core and gold-plated plugs resist corrosion and maintain low-resistance contact over repeated insertions. The shielded construction suppresses electromagnetic interference so captured footage and audio stay clean during long sessions.

400 Mbit/s ceiling on the 6-pin side

The 9-pin connector supports 800 Mbit/s signalling, yet the 6-pin end limits the link to 400 Mbit/s. Users needing sustained 800 Mbit/s throughput must connect 9-pin to 9-pin instead.

Questions about this item

What speed does the 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire 1394 link actually run at?

The cable carries FireWire 800 signals from the 9-pin side but the 6-pin device limits the connection to 400 Mbit/s.

How much clearance do the moulded 9-pin and 6-pin plugs need behind the ports?

Each moulded plug is a standard IEEE 1394 shell; allow enough straight-back space for the connector body and strain relief.

Does the cable need drivers or external power to capture video from a DV camcorder?

It is plug-and-play; the copper conductors and shielding carry power and data so the camcorder connects directly to a 1394 capture card or laptop port.
