SANOXY 10ft FireWire 800 Bridge Cable
The SANOXY 10ft IEEE 1394b cable bridges a 9-pin FireWire 800 port with a 6-pin FireWire 400 device. It suits users linking legacy external drives, audio interfaces or camcorders to newer host controllers. The clear jacket aids cable identification in dense racks. Condition is new.
800 Mbps Interface with 400 Mbps Fallback
The 9-pin to 6-pin wiring forces the link to negotiate at IEEE 1394a speeds, so sustained throughput tops out at 400 Mbps. Full 800 Mbps headroom is only available when both ends present 9-pin ports. Hot-pluggable operation allows connection without a system restart. Triple shielding suppresses EMI/RFI on the 10ft run.
Triple-Shielded Construction
Premium triple shielding reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can corrupt isochronous streams. The clear outer sheath exposes the braid for visual inspection of shield integrity. No software, drivers or adapters are bundled; the cable relies on native OS support for IEEE 1394 peripherals.

Questions about this item
Will the 9-pin to 6-pin cable run at FireWire 800 speed with my older 6-pin IEEE 1394a device?
No. Connecting the 9-pin end to a 6-pin port forces the link to operate at 1394a speeds, so the maximum data rate is 400 Mbps.
How can I verify the 10 ft cable is functioning correctly after I plug it in?
The connection is hot-pluggable; the device should appear in your system immediately without a restart, and you can confirm the active link speed in your OS hardware information.
Does the package include any adapters for 4-pin ports or do I need to buy them separately?
The box contains only the 9-pin to 6-pin cable; a separate 6-pin to 4-pin adapter is required if your peripheral uses the smaller 4-pin connector.
