Know before you buy
The 9-pin connector is standard for FireWire 800 devices, while the 4-pin connector is typically found on older or more compact FireWire 400 devices. This cable acts as a bridge, allowing you to connect a 9-pin peripheral to a 4-pin port or vice versa.
While this cable is built to the FireWire 800 standard, the actual data transfer speed will be limited by the slowest component in your chain. Because one end uses a 4-pin connector, which is technically a FireWire 400 interface, your transfer speeds will be capped at FireWire 400 rates.
Yes, Tripp Lite cables are designed for stability and data integrity, making them reliable for professional workflows. The 6-foot length provides enough reach for most desktop setups without compromising signal quality.
No, the 4-pin FireWire connector does not carry power. If your peripheral requires bus power to function, you will need to use an external power supply for that device.
Yes, FireWire supports daisy-chaining, and this cable is compatible with that architecture. However, ensure that your devices are properly powered, as the 4-pin connector does not support power delivery.
