ETopSell Firewire (IEEE 1394) 6 Pin Male to USB A Male Adapter

SKU CH-G2BN-KFSKN

Connects IEEE 1394 6-pin devices to USB A ports for plug-and-play data transfer

  • Connect digital cameras and camcorders to a PC via IEEE 1394 6-pin port
  • USB Type-A male connector supports specifications 1.1 and 2.0
  • High-quality connectors deliver superior conductivity and reliability
  • Plug-and-play setup requires no driver installation for compatible devices
  • Single adapter converts USB-A male to IEEE 1394 6-pin male

Purpose and Audience

This adapter connects devices equipped with an IEEE 1394 6-pin port such as digital cameras or camcorders to a computer USB Type-A port. It is intended for users who need to transfer footage from legacy Firewire hardware to a modern machine. It will not work for buyers who need a 4-pin or 9-pin Firewire connection.

Thermals Noise and Power

The adapter draws power directly from the USB bus and has no active cooling components. Operation is silent and adds negligible load to the host port during normal data transfer. No external power supply is required for typical use.

Critical Specification

The device requires the connected equipment to handle signal decoding automatically because the adapter performs no protocol conversion between USB 1.1 or 2.0 and IEEE 1394. If the camera or computer cannot negotiate the link natively the link will not establish.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 6-pin Firewire 1394 end to my camcorder?

Align the keyed 6-pin plug with the camcorder's IEEE 1394 port and push straight in until it clicks; forcing it upside-down bends the delicate pins inside the connector.

Will the gold-plated contacts on the USB Type A male end need cleaning over time?

The high-quality connectors resist oxidation; if a connection becomes intermittent, a quick wipe with a dry lint-free cloth restores conductivity without liquids.

What transfer speed limit appears first when capturing long DV footage through this adapter?

The USB 1.1 / 2.0 interface caps sustained throughput well below native Firewire 1394 rates, so dropped frames appear before the cable itself overheats.
