Connecting FireWire devices to USB 2.0 ports

This 3 m cable links a 6-pin IEEE 1394 male connector to a USB 2.0 Type-A male plug. It is intended for users who need to attach legacy FireWire peripherals such as DV camcorders, digital cameras, printers, scanners or 1394 audio interfaces to a computer that only offers USB 2.0 ports.

Bandwidth limited to USB 2.0 speeds

The link runs at USB 2.0 signalling rates, so sustained throughput tops out well below native FireWire 400 performance. It handles standard-definition video capture, still-image transfer and stereo audio streams comfortably, but drops frames or stalls with high-bitrate DV or multi-track audio sessions that demand the full 1394 bandwidth.

Passive copper construction with shielding

The 5.5 mm diameter cable uses 28 AWG conductors, aluminium foil and braid shielding to meet IEEE 1394 electrical requirements and ROSH compliance. It draws bus power only, adds no active circuitry, and runs cool and silent during typical capture or file-copy workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 m cable reach my Sony DV camera from a rear-panel USB 2.0 A port on an older desktop?

The 3 m length spans most desk-to-device distances, and the IEEE 1394 6-pin male plug fits the camera while the USB 2.0 A male end connects to the legacy port.

How can I confirm the 1394 link is active after plugging in the 6-pin connector?

The camera or audio device should appear in the operating system device list, and the 400 Mbit/s Firewire connection will show as an active IEEE 1394 bus.

Does the package include the 3 m black cable only, or are adapters also supplied?

The box contains the single 3 m IEEE 1394 6-pin male to USB 2.0 A male cable with 28 AWG conductors and UL20276 jacket; no extra adapters are included.
