FireWire 400 to 800 adapter cable

This 20cm adapter connects legacy FireWire 400 peripherals to modern computers that only provide FireWire 800 ports. It is aimed at users who need to keep older external drives, audio interfaces or video cameras working on newer hardware. The short length suits desktop setups where the device sits close to the host.

Upgrades from a missing 400 port

The cable replaces the absent 6-pin port on a current machine, letting a standard 6-pin male FireWire 400 cable plug into the 9-pin male end. The jump is worth it when a computer lacks native 400 support but the peripheral still functions and the user wants to avoid a full replacement. Data moves at the 400 speed limit of the older device.

Plug-and-play installation

No drivers or configuration are required; the adapter is hot-swap compatible so devices can be connected or disconnected without shutting down the computer. The only common issue is attempting to exceed the 400 bandwidth ceiling or using a damaged 6-pin cable, either of which will cause drop-outs or failed detection.

Questions about this item

What port does the 9-pin male connector fit?

The 9-pin male connector plugs directly into a FireWire 800 port on the computer.

Does the adapter need drivers or a reboot to work?

It is plug-and-play and hot-swap compatible, so devices can be connected or disconnected without shutting down the computer.

How long is the cable and will it reach my device?

The cable is 20 cm long, so the FireWire 400 peripheral must sit close to the computer's FireWire 800 port.
