What this cable connects

This Enfain cable provides a 6-pin Firewire (IEEE 1394) male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A male connector on the other. It allows a direct link between legacy 1394 peripherals and a USB host port. The cable length is 1.8 metres and uses standard 28 AWG copper conductors.

Who can use it and who cannot

It suits owners of older DV cameras, digital cameras, printers, scanners or 1394 audio interfaces that terminate in a 6-pin Firewire plug. Devices that require a 4-pin or 9-pin 1394 connector will not mate with this cable. Buyers needing a native 1394 host controller or a longer reach should consider other options.

The deciding specification

The critical detail is the 6-pin Firewire male to USB 2.0 Type-A male gender combination; it only works when the peripheral presents a 6-pin IEEE 1394 port and the host offers a standard USB-A socket.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 6-pin IEEE 1394 male plug to my device and the USB 2.0 A male end to the computer without reversing them?

Plug the 6-pin IEEE 1394 male connector into the Firewire port on your camera or audio device, then insert the USB 2.0 A male end into a USB 2.0 port on the computer; the keyed plugs prevent incorrect insertion.

Will the copper conductors or shielding degrade and require cable replacement over time?

The cable uses 28 AWG copper conductors with aluminium foil, Mylar and braid shielding built to UL20276; it is rated to pass high-pressure and reliability tests, so no scheduled replacement is needed under normal use.

At what point does the 1.8 metre length limit data integrity during sustained Firewire 400 transfers?

The 1.8 metre length stays within the IEEE 1394 specification for 400 Mbit/s signalling, so sustained transfers are not limited by cable length.
