IEEE 1394B 9 Pin to 6 Pin Adapter Cable
This cable converts a FireWire 800 (9Pin Beta) port to a FireWire 400 (6Pin) interface. It is built for users connecting legacy professional equipment such as DV camcorders, external hard drives or audio interfaces to a modern 1394B host. The 1.8 metre length suits desktop, studio or industrial rack layouts. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.
Suits FireWire 400 peripherals on 800 ports.
The cable serves owners of 6Pin FireWire 400 devices who need to link them to a 9Pin FireWire 800 socket. It supports video capture, audio recording and file backup tasks on compatible IEEE 1394 hardware. Buyers whose equipment lacks any 1394 interface cannot use this cable. It does not add FireWire capability to a computer without an existing port.
9 Pin to 6 Pin IEEE 1394B conversion
The single deciding specification is the 9Pin to 6Pin connector arrangement built to the IEEE 1394B standard. This defines whether your host port and peripheral plug match the cable ends. Verify that the source device presents a 9Pin FireWire 800 socket and the target device uses a 6Pin FireWire 400 plug before ordering.

Questions about this item
What does the 800 Mbps rating mean when I connect a FireWire 400 device?
The link will run at 400 Mbps because the 6-pin connector limits the connection to FireWire 400 speeds.
Which IEEE 1394 standard does this cable follow and what speed does it cap at?
It follows IEEE 1394B and caps at 400 Mbps when the 6-pin end is used.
What clearance do the 9-pin and 6-pin plugs need to fit side by side?
Each moulded connector needs about 3 cm of clear space behind the port for a straight insertion.
