- Sold Individually
Product Description
Tripp Lite’s IEEE-1394b, or FireWire 800 cables, are the latest in FireWire technology, with data transfer speeds up to 800Mbps, twice the speed of original FireWire. The 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire 800 – FireWire cable (also known as a “bilingual” cable) will connect a 6-pin FireWire (1394a) device to a 9-pin FireWire 800 (1394b) port on a computer, or it will connect the 6-pin FireWire port on a computer to a 9-pin FireWire 800 device (FireWire 800 devices can achieve FireWire 800 speeds only when connected to a FireWire 800 port). These cables are 100% compatible with Apple FireWire, Sony iLink, and all other IEEE-1394b peripherals…. More >>

We bought an iMac, and it doesn’t have a Firewire 400 port, just a Firewire 800 port. We have a camcorder with Firewire 400 output. So I needed an adapter. I bought this cable, and when it came I realized that while one end will fit into the Firewire 800 port on the computer, the other end doesn’t fit into the camcorder. So, I paid for shipping both ways. Then I bought an adapter plug that goes into the back of the computer, and I use my existing camcorder Firewire cord and plug it into the adapter, and that works great. Before buying this adapter cable, make sure you wouldn’t be better off with an adapter plug.

It works, Its cheap, It is too long and stiff.
Wish it comes in a shorter length and a thinner cable. 3 stars.

This seems like a really fine product – especially if you are going to be using it alot. Great price, and the build of it seems to be above average. I needed it in a pinch to try and salvage some files off an old hard drive, but alas, I think the HD has bit the dust and I have not been able to use it. At least it wasn’t too expensive!

The terminal end works great, but the proximal plug is a little loose in a macbook pro. Being a DJ, it gets moved around a lot but it’s never wiggled enough to lose signal so definitely a wise purchase compared to other bulky adapters.

Did not work. May have been a pre-existing bad firewire port on brand new MacBook Pro, but it also may have broken the firewire port on my 1 week old MBP. Inspection of the “square” end revealed insulation rib at end apparently preventing contact with contacts in MBP. Belkin product did not have this, and it worked fine on new MBP (replaced, thankfully, by my local Apple Store). Not sure if this is a defect or not, but it is different from Belkin product and there is another complaint in the blogosphere about this, I believe.
Product arrived on time (actually early) and in good condition.
