EXSYS FireWire 1394b 9-Pin to 6-Pin Cable, 3.0 m, Black EX-K6862

Connect your FireWire 800 devices to legacy FireWire 400 peripherals with this 3-meter EXSYS cable. Ideal for video editors and audio engineers who need to link a modern 9-pin FireWire 800 external drive or camera to an older 6-pin FireWire 400 port on a laptop or desktop. The double-shielded construction ensures reliable data transfers at up to 800 Mbps, while backward compatibility keeps your existing equipment in service.

Key specifications

• Connector 1: FireWire 9-pin (IEEE 1394b) male
• Connector 2: FireWire 6-pin (IEEE 1394a) male
• Cable length: 3.0 meters
• Data transfer rate: up to 800 Mbps (FireWire 800)
• Double shielded (foil and braid) for signal integrity
• Backward compatible with FireWire 400 devices
• Plug & Play, no drivers required
• RoHS compliant

Why choose it

This cable bridges the gap between FireWire 800 and FireWire 400, allowing you to use high-speed peripherals with older hosts. The 3-meter length gives you flexibility in setting up your workspace, and the robust shielding minimizes interference for stable data transfers. The black PVC jacket is durable and flexible, suitable for both studio and field use.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a FireWire 800 external hard drive to a FireWire 400 port on a computer
• Linking a FireWire 800 digital camcorder to a FireWire 400 capture card
• Extending the reach between a FireWire audio interface and a mixing console
• Using legacy FireWire 400 peripherals with newer FireWire 800 equipped laptops

Good to know

The cable is fully compliant with IEEE 1394b and IEEE 1394a standards, ensuring broad compatibility. Copper conductors and a PVC jacket provide reliable performance and long-lasting durability. Note that when connecting a FireWire 800 device to a FireWire 400 port, the data transfer rate will be limited to 400 Mbps.
