Short black cable with 6-pin female and 9-pin male FireWire connectors

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD IEEE 1394 6-Pin Female to 9-Pin Male FireWire 400 to 800 Cable 20cm

SKU CH-C08T-4W3CE

Connects FireWire 400 devices to 800 ports using a 20cm 6-pin female to 9-pin male adapter cable

  • Reuse existing cables with full IEEE 1394 compliance
  • 9-pin male plugs into FireWire 800 ports
  • 6-pin female accepts standard FireWire 400 cables
  • Data rates up to 800 Mbps where supported
  • 20 cm adapter links legacy peripherals to new ports

Bridge cable for legacy FireWire gear

This 20 cm adapter bridges a 6-pin FireWire 400 cable to a 9-pin FireWire 800 port, letting owners of older audio interfaces, drives or cameras keep using them on newer machines. It is built for anyone who has 1394 peripherals but no matching port on their current computer. The short length keeps the connection tidy on a crowded desk or rack.

Replaces a missing 6-pin port on modern hosts

When a laptop or desktop drops the 6-pin connector in favour of the 9-pin 800 variant, this cable restores compatibility without replacing the peripheral. The jump is worth it whenever the device still works and the only obstacle is the port mismatch. Speed tops out at the 400 Mbps ceiling of the attached device, even though the link is rated for 800 Mbps.

Plug-and-play with no drivers required

Installation is a simple matter of seating the 9-pin male end into the host port and plugging the existing 6-pin cable into the female end. The only common snag is expecting a speed boost; the adapter cannot make a 400 device run at 800. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted to avoid intermittent detection.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 9-pin male connector need behind a FireWire 800 port?

The cable is 20 cm long, so the 9-pin male plug needs roughly 20 cm of free space behind the port for the adapter body and the attached 6-pin cable.

Which side do I connect first when linking a FireWire 400 device to a FireWire 800 port?

Insert the 9-pin male end into the computer's FireWire 800 port, then plug your existing 6-pin male FireWire 400 cable into the 6-pin female socket on the adapter.

Will the 6-pin female socket wear out after repeated cable swaps?

The 6-pin female connector is a standard IEEE 1394 socket rated for normal insertion cycles; replace the adapter if the socket becomes loose or pins bend.
