Six-foot 4-pin IEEE 1394 cable

This six-foot cable provides a direct link between two 4-pin IEEE 1394 ports for data transfer. It is built for users who need to connect legacy FireWire devices such as camcorders or external drives to a matching port. The 4-pin connector carries data only and does not supply bus power to the attached device. The fixed length suits desktop setups where both ports are within close reach.

Suits 4-pin FireWire ports only

Buyers whose equipment uses the larger 6-pin FireWire connector or a different interface altogether cannot plug this cable in directly. It also does not deliver power, so devices that rely on bus power from a 6-pin port will need a separate power source. Anyone needing a longer reach or a powered connection should look for a different cable type.

Single 4-pin IEEE 1394 connector each end

The only specification that determines compatibility is the 4-pin IEEE 1394 connector on both ends. If either device presents a 6-pin port or a non-FireWire interface, this cable will not fit without an adapter. Verify both ports are 4-pin IEEE 1394 before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What 4-pin IEEE 1394 port must my device already have to use this cable?

Your device needs a 4-pin IEEE 1394 FireWire port on each end to connect with this cable.

Will this cable work with older 6-pin FireWire equipment I still own?

No, both connectors are 4-pin IEEE 1394 so they cannot mate with 6-pin ports without an adapter.

How can I confirm the link is active after plugging in both ends?

The operating system should recognise the FireWire device immediately and show it in the device manager or system profiler.
