1.5m Black FireWire 800 to 400 Cable 9-Pin to 4-Pin IEEE 1394b to 1394a for DV Camcorders & External Drives
The 1.5m Black IEEE-1394 FireWire 800/400 9-pin to 4-pin Cable is a 1.5-meter long, black cable designed to connect devices with different FireWire port types. It features a 9-pin connector on one end, supporting the faster FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) standard with data transfer rates up to 800 Mbps, and a 4-pin connector on the other end, supporting the FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) standard with data transfer rates up to 400 Mbps. This cable allows for data transfer between newer devices with FireWire 800 ports and older devices with FireWire 400 ports.
