Vszerda

Vszerda IEEE 1394 6Pin Female to 1394a 6Pin Male Firewire Cable 20cm

SKU CH-VJ5N-NE3WB

A 20 cm FireWire 400-to-400 extension cable with a 6-pin male to 6-pin female connector for linking legacy 1394 peripherals to 600 ports at up to 400 Mbps

  • Connect legacy FireWire 400 devices to 600 ports with this 20 cm adapter
  • Male 6-pin plugs into your 400 port; female 6-pin accepts standard cables
  • IEEE 1394 compliant for reliable 400 Mbps data transfers
  • Plug-and-play hot-swap lets you connect or disconnect without rebooting
  • Reuse existing FireWire 400 cables for video capture and data tasks

Vszerda Firewire 400 Extension Cable

This 20cm IEEE 1394 cable links a 6-pin female port to a 6-pin male plug so existing Firewire 400 peripherals reach newer 600-style ports. It suits editors or archivists who need a short, tidy link between legacy capture cards or drives and a modern controller without replacing the original cable.

Plug-and-play hot-swap support

The adapter requires no drivers and lets users connect or disconnect devices without powering down the host. Reusing current 6-pin male cables avoids extra cost and keeps the signal path fully IEEE 1394 compliant for reliable data and video streams.

400 Mbps ceiling on every link

Throughput tops out at 400 Mbps because both connectors follow the Firewire 400 specification; the 600-style port does not raise the limit. The short length helps signal integrity but cannot overcome the interface bandwidth cap, so high-bandwidth multi-stream workflows will saturate the link.

Highlights

  • Connect legacy FireWire 400 devices to 600 ports with this 20 cm adapter
  • Male 6-pin plugs into your 400 port; female 6-pin accepts standard cables
  • IEEE 1394 compliant for reliable 400 Mbps data transfers
  • Plug-and-play hot-swap lets you connect or disconnect without rebooting
  • Reuse existing FireWire 400 cables for video capture and data tasks

Questions about this item

Will the 6-pin female connector wear out from repeated plugging of my FireWire 400 cable?

The 6-pin female port is built to standard IEEE 1394 durability ratings; normal insertions will not degrade it, and no periodic replacement is expected.

What limits sustained throughput when I run video capture all day?

The cable is rated for 400 Mbps, so the FireWire 400 bus itself is the first bottleneck under continuous load.

Does the 20 cm extension add noticeable heat or power draw during long sessions?

The passive 20 cm link draws no extra power and generates no measurable heat beyond the host port’s normal output.
