Vszerda 1.5M Firewire Adapter Cable

This 1.5 metre cable connects a USB 2.0 male port to a 4-pin IEEE 1394 male connector. It suits users who need to link legacy DV cameras or camcorders with a 4-pin iLink port to a computer or hub that only offers a USB 2.0 socket. The cord handles two-way transfer of images, sound and data at standard Firewire speeds.

Check your device ports and protocol

Verify that your camera or peripheral uses a 4-pin IEEE 1394 (iLink) interface and not a 6-pin or 9-pin variant. Confirm the host side provides a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port; this cable does not convert Firewire protocol to USB signalling, so the host must support IEEE 1394 over USB or an appropriate adapter. The link operates at 100, 200 or 400 Mbits per second.

Cable design enables direct legacy connection

The integrated 4-pin to USB 2.0 male ends remove the need for a separate adapter dongle when connecting compatible mini DV equipment. Its 1.5 metre length gives enough reach for desktop capture setups without excess slack. No software or drivers are bundled; the cable simply provides the physical link for the host operating system to recognise the Firewire device.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.5 m cable include both 4-pin and 6-pin FireWire connectors, or do I need a separate adapter?

The cable has a USB 2.0 male plug on one end and a 4-pin IEEE 1394 male plug on the other; a 6-pin FireWire connection is not included.

Which connector combination should I choose for a Mini DV camcorder with a 4-pin iLink port?

Use the supplied 4-pin IEEE 1394 male connector; it matches the camcorder's iLink port directly.

What do the 100/200/400 Mbits ratings mean when I connect the cable to my computer?

The cable supports IEEE 1394 transfer speeds of 100, 200 and 400 Mbits per second for two-way image, sound and data transfer.
