USB 2.0 to IEEE 1394 Mini 4Pin Firewire Cable

This 1.5m cable connects a DV camcorder with a Mini 4-pin IEEE 1394 port to a standard USB 2.0 socket. It is intended for users who need to link legacy video equipment to a modern computer lacking a native FireWire interface. The translucent cord supports brands such as Canon, Sony, Sharp and JVC.

Suitable for owners of Mini DV camcorders wanting

The adapter provides a physical connection only; the supplier notes that USB does not have the capture function, so DV video cannot be captured to the computer. Buyers who need to import tape footage should look at a dedicated capture device or a native IEEE 1394 host card instead.

Maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps

The cable operates at the USB 2.0 signalling limit of 480 Mbps. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether the link can sustain the data stream required by your capture workflow.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Mini 4-pin FireWire end to my camcorder?

Plug the Mini 4-pin connector into the camcorder's IEEE 1394 DV port; the USB 2.0 end goes into any USB port on the computer.

Will the connectors wear out with repeated plugging?

The USB 2.0 and Mini 4-pin connectors are rated for normal insertions; avoid bending the cable sharply near the plugs to extend life.

Why does video capture fail even though the cable fits?

This cable carries data only; the USB 2.0 interface does not support DV video capture, so footage cannot be transferred to the computer.
