Firewire 800 to 400 cable 6 ft
This 2-Power cable bridges a 9-pin Firewire 800 port to a 4-pin Firewire 400 device. It suits users connecting legacy camcorders, audio interfaces or external drives to newer Mac or PC ports. The six-foot length gives flexibility for desktop routing. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.
Male-to-male copper conductors
Both ends are male: a rectangular 9-pin connector and a square 4-pin connector. The copper conductor meets IEEE 1394b specifications for reduced radio-frequency and electromagnetic interference. Adapting the 9-pin side to the older 4-pin interface limits the link to 400 Mbps despite the port's 800 Mbps capability. The moulded strain relief protects the solder joints during frequent insertion.
Passive design runs cool and silent
No active electronics means zero fan noise and no external power draw. The cable draws bus power only, adding negligible load to the host controller. Heat generation is minimal during sustained 400 Mbps transfers. Compliance with 1394b shielding standards keeps signal integrity stable in typical office or studio environments.

Questions about this item
What maximum data rate does the IEEE 1394b 9-pin to 4-pin cable support?
The cable supports up to 800 Mbps when linking a 4-pin 1394a device to a 9-pin 1394b port; the connection will run at 400 Mbps if adapted to legacy 1394a speeds.
What physical connectors are on each end of the 6-foot cable?
One end has a 9-pin male FireWire 800 connector, the other end has a 4-pin male FireWire 400 connector, both moulded for a secure fit.
How do you install the cable and what common mistake should be avoided?
Plug the 9-pin end into the computer's FireWire 800 port and the 4-pin end into the device; do not force the keyed connectors — they only insert one way.
