Enfain Firewire 1394 6-pin to USB 2.0 A male cable

This Enfain cable connects a 6-pin IEEE 1394 Firewire device to a USB 2.0 Type-A port. It is built with standard copper wiring and measures 1.8 metres in length. The adaptor is intended for linking legacy digital video cameras, audio interfaces, printers and scanners to a computer USB socket. It carries a black jacket and meets IEEE 1394 and RoHS requirements.

Suited for users with 6-pin Firewire peripherals

The cable suits owners of DV camcorders, older audio interfaces or other 1394 equipment that uses a 6-pin connector and who need a USB 2.0 Type-A connection. It will not work for devices that require a 4-pin or 9-pin Firewire plug, nor for users who need a native Firewire controller rather than a USB bridge. Buyers wanting longer reach should note that 3 metre and 4.5 metre versions exist.

Check your device port and host requirements

Before ordering, confirm that the peripheral has a 6-pin IEEE 1394 socket and that the host computer provides a USB 2.0 Type-A port. Verify that the operating system supports the connected device over a USB-to-Firewire bridge, as some legacy hardware may need a dedicated Firewire controller. The cable uses 28 AWG conductors and a 5.5 mm outer diameter to UL20276 specification.

Questions about this item

Which device must already have a 1394 6-pin port for this cable to work?

The source device — such as a DV camcorder, digital camera, printer, scanner or 1394 audio interface — must provide the 6-pin Firewire socket that the cable plugs into.

Will the USB 2.0 A male end negotiate the same 400 Mbit/s throughput as a native 1394 link?

The cable is a passive adaptor; it carries the 1394 signalling to the USB port, but actual throughput depends on the host controller and driver, not on the cable itself.

How can I confirm the 1.8 m cable is passing a live 1394 signal after connecting it?

The host computer should enumerate a 1394 device in Device Manager or System Profiler, and the attached camcorder or audio interface should show an active link indicator.
