Know before you buy
The 6-pin FireWire interface is commonly found on older digital camcorders, external hard drives, and audio interfaces. It is designed to carry both data and power, unlike the 4-pin version which only transmits data.
No, this cable features 6-pin connectors on both ends. If your device or computer uses a 4-pin port, you would need a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter cable instead.
Yes, the standard 6-pin IEEE 1394 configuration supports bus power. This allows the cable to power compatible external devices directly from the host computer.
No, this is a legacy FireWire cable. To connect it to a modern computer with USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, you would need a specific FireWire-to-Thunderbolt adapter, though compatibility is not guaranteed depending on your operating system.
This cable supports the IEEE 1394 standard, which typically offers data transfer speeds up to 400 Mbps. Actual performance will depend on the limitations of the devices you are connecting.
