Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

Connecting a FireWire 800 device to a legacy FireWire 400 port often means juggling adapters or settling for slower speeds. The EXSYS FireWire 1394B Cable eliminates that hassle with a direct 9-pin to 4-pin link, letting you bridge generations of hardware without extra dongles. At 5 meters long, it reaches across desks, racks, or studio setups, while double shielding and nickel-plated plugs keep your data clean at up to 800 Mbps.

Who is it for

This cable is ideal for video editors, audio engineers, and IT technicians who work with mixed FireWire equipment. If you have an older camcorder, external drive, or audio interface with a 4-pin port and a newer computer or hub with a 9-pin FireWire 800 port, this cable connects them directly. It is also a solid choice for anyone who needs a longer FireWire run without signal loss or interference.

Main features

  • Connects FireWire 800 (9-pin) devices to FireWire 400 (4-pin) devices
  • Supports data transfer rates up to 800 Mbps for fast file transfers and streaming
  • Double shielded to reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
  • Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion and ensure reliable contact
  • Plug-and-play and hot-swappable—no drivers or reboots needed
  • 5-meter length provides flexibility in equipment placement
  • Backward compatible with IEEE 1394a (FireWire 400) standards

Tips

Before buying, check the ports on both devices: the 9-pin end goes into a FireWire 800 port, and the 4-pin end goes into a FireWire 400 port. The cable is hot-swappable, so you can connect or disconnect devices while they are powered on, but always eject drives safely before unplugging to avoid data corruption. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power cords or near strong magnetic fields.
