Bridge FireWire generations
This 9-pin to 6-pin cable connects FireWire 800 ports to FireWire 400 devices, letting engineers and AV professionals link mixed-generation hardware without extra adapters. It supports bidirectional data transfer between 1394b and 1394a equipment such as external drives and DV camcorders. The six-foot length gives flexible reach for studio or workstation layouts. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers or configuration.
Thermals noise and power draw
The copper conductor and peripheral-connection shielding carry data at up to 800 megabits per second without active components, so the cable adds no fan noise or measurable heat to the system. Power for connected peripherals is supplied through the FireWire bus itself, drawing only what the host port provides. The flexible black jacket resists wear from repeated insertion and routing around rack gear.
Deciding specification
The single detail that determines fit is the 9-pin male to 6-pin male connector pairing; it only works where one side presents a 1394b port and the other a 1394a port. Buyers who need 9-pin to 9-pin or 6-pin to 6-pin links, or who require longer runs than six feet, must choose a different cable.

Questions about this item
How do I plug the 9-pin and 6-pin ends into my FireWire 800 and 400 ports?
Insert the 9-pin connector into the FireWire 800 port and the 6-pin connector into the FireWire 400 port; the cable works bidirectionally so either device can be the host.
Will the copper conductors or shielding degrade after repeated studio use?
The copper conductor and flexible black jacket are built for professional durability and repeated connection cycles without signal degradation.
At what speed does the link settle when I connect a 1394b port to a 1394a device?
The connection runs at 400 megabits per second, the maximum rate supported by the FireWire 400 (1394a) device.
