Black cable with 6-pin FireWire and USB-A plugs, 1.8 m long

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK Firewire (IEEE 1394) cable 6-pin to USB 2.0 1.8 m

SKU CH-52TY-3W14F

Connects a 6-pin Firewire 1394 device to a USB 2.0 port with a 1.8 m copper cable

  • Connect DV cameras via 1394 6-pin to USB 2.0
  • Link digital audio gear with IEEE 1394 to USB adaptor
  • Transfer scanner data through 1.8 m copper cable
  • Verified by high-pressure and electrical reliability tests
  • RoHS compliant materials meet 1394 interface requirements

Connection and length

This cable connects a 6-pin IEEE 1394 Firewire device to a USB 2.0 Type-A port. It is built for users who need to link legacy DV cameras, audio interfaces or scanners to a modern computer. The black cord measures 1.8 metres and uses standard copper conductors.

Compatibility limits

It suits owners of Sony DV cameras, digital cameras, printers, scanners and other 1394 audio-video gear that requires a 6-pin connection. It will not work for devices that use a 4-pin or 9-pin Firewire connector, nor for equipment that demands a native Firewire controller rather than a USB bridge.

Decisive specification

The cable terminates in a 6-pin male Firewire plug on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A male plug on the other. This exact connector pairing determines whether the cable fits the target device and host port.

Questions about this item

What port must my computer already have to use the USB 2.0 A Male end of this 1.8 m cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port to accept the USB 2.0 A Male connector on this cable.

Will the IEEE 1394 6-pin male connector work with a 4-pin Firewire port on an older DV camera?

No, the 6-pin male connector on this cable only fits 6-pin IEEE 1394 ports; it cannot connect directly to a 4-pin Firewire socket.

How can I verify the cable meets the IEEE 1394 requirements after connecting a device?

The cable is built to meet IEEE 1394 requirements and passes high-pressure and electrical tests; a linked device should be recognised by the operating system without errors.
