The DataPro 1394AA cable is an
IEEE-1394 (FireWire) compliant cable with the
6-pin connector on each end. These cables
are stocked up to 15 feet, but can be extended
by using our FireWire
extension cables. In-house tests have run full-speed
firewire over 60 feet, but your own results may vary.
FireWire cabling provides high-speed
data transmission for digital audio
and video applications, and is designed
to reduce cabling and interface costs.
Most desktop computers, workstations, and
external drives use the 6-pin FireWire connector,
which provides more bandwidth than the smaller 4-pin connector.
For connecting a 6-pin device to a 4-pin device,
you'll need a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable.
If you're connecting a 4-pin device to a laptop which
also has a 4-pin FireWire port (sometimes called an i.Link port),
we also offer a 4-pin to 4-pin FireWire cable.
The IEEE-1394 bus allows up to 63 devices
to be daisy-chained through a common
single interface.
