1.8 m FireWire 400 cable

This 1.8 metre IEEE 1394a cable carries a 400 megabit per second signal between two six-pin ports. Male-to-male plugs let you link digital cameras, external drives or printers directly. Copper conductors carry the data without extra power circuitry. The black jacket suits studio or desk setups.

Thermals noise and power

Passive copper wiring produces no heat and no audible noise during operation. The link draws only the bus power allowed by the IEEE 1394a specification, so no external adapter is required. Normal use adds negligible load to the host controller. Cable length stays within the standard range for reliable 400 megabit transfers.

Plug-and-play convenience

No driver installation is needed on modern operating systems; the connection is recognised instantly. Peer-to-peer communication lets two FireWire devices talk without a computer in the middle. The six-pin interface supplies bus power to compatible peripherals such as portable drives. Applications include video editing, desktop publishing and document imaging workflows.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 6-pin male connectors on this 1.8 m FireWire 400 cable, and what step is often missed?

Insert each 6-pin male plug fully into the IEEE 1394a port until it clicks; the step often missed is not seating the connector completely, which prevents the 400 Mbps link from establishing.

What maintenance or replacement will this copper-conductor FireWire 400 cable need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if the copper conductors or 6-pin male ends show physical damage or intermittent 400 Mbps data transfer.

What limit appears first when this 400000000 Hz FireWire 400 cable runs sustained transfers?

The 400 Mbps bandwidth ceiling of the IEEE 1394a interface is the first limit reached during sustained use.
