3ft Black FireWire 400 6 pin / 4 pin cable

This 6 foot black FireWire 400 (IEEE-1394a) cable features a 6 pin connector on one end and a 4 pin connector on the other end. Our cable features thick cable jacketing with a heavy-duty braided shield for protection from abuse and EMI/RFI. FireWire cables are used to transfer data between FireWire enabled devices such as external hard drives, camcorders, DV recorders, digital cameras, etc to computers, laptops and other FireWire capable devices. When selecting your FireWire cable pay attention to pinning of the devices you are connecting to ensure you choose the correct cable for your application. Our FireWire 400 Cables meet the specifications outlined in the IEEE-1394a standard. This means that one can daisy chain up to 63 supported devices on a single FireWire port provided the devices support daisy chaining. The standard supports the following transfer rates: S400 (400 Mbit/s), S200 (200 Mbit/s) and S100 (100 Mbit/s). Lastly the 4 pin connector does not supply power while the 6 pin connector is able to supply power. If your device requires a 4 pin connector it will not be powered/charged via FireWire it will instead use its own separate power.
