IEEE-1394 FireWire cable is commonly used on older digital camcorders, camera, printers, and other PC accessories to transfer video or data to a PC. We have a wide range of Firewires available at SF Cable.


Synchrotech carries a wide range of high quality FireWire cables for both IEEE 1394a FireWire 400 and IEEE 1394b FireWire 800 applications. In addition to our own economical line of FireWire cables, we carry those from manufacturers of the most exacting standards, including Datavideo and Unibrain.


Synchrotech stocks a number of high quality cables for use with various products we sell. Placing them all on one page is intended to make it easier for customers just looking for cables to find them without having to search through other product pages.


Sort of as an aside, but perhaps the optimal thing to do is to buy a firewire 800 cable, and then buy one of the little firewire 800-400 adapters for one end. That way you would have a cable for the currently used Firewire 800 standard, and just use the adapter for connecting to FireWire 400 ports as needed (the little cable-end adapters from Sonnet, Moshi or others are in the $15-$20 range).


Also referred to as IEEE 1394, Firewire Cables are an alternative form of connectors for computers and hardware. Along with the USB cord, these cables can provide fast connections. While they are similar to other cords, they are not interchangeable.


Originally released in the FireWire 400 format in 1996, a commonly used cable now is FireWire 800. The main difference between the two types of cables is the transfer rates. FireWire 400 cables are capable of transferring up to 480 Mbps. The new standard now is FireWire 800, which can transfer up to 800 Mbps. This allows for much faster transfers of high-quality video files.


Yes, a simple way to connect these cables to your PC or laptop is by using either an adapter for your Thunderbolt cord or by upgrading your PC with an expansion card. Older Mac users are in luck, however, because all pre-2012 models come with ports already built in.


Can my DV camera be connected via laptop's USB? Already bought Firewire to USB cable, but device is not recognised. Have downloaded Legacy drivers, installed, but 1394 drivers are not listed in Devices Manager. Same on Win 7 and Win 10. Thanks!


As i understood, i do not only need a cable (witch i own) and Legacy drivers (witch i have installed), but i also need some piece of hardware (PCI or Firewire cars). It might be a solution for a tower PC, but i am not sure if it is realistic for my new laptop (which, by the way, i have chosen mostly for video editing and works fine with my newer HD camcorder - USB connected).


The copper cable used in its most common implementation can be up to 4.5 metres (15 ft) long. Power and data is carried over this cable, allowing devices with moderate power requirements to operate without a separate power supply. FireWire is also available in Cat 5 and optical fiber versions.


Cable length is limited to 4.5 metres (14.8 ft), although up to 16 cables can be daisy chained using active repeaters; external hubs or internal hubs are often present in FireWire equipment. The S400 standard limits any configuration's maximum cable length to 72 metres (236 ft). The 6-conductor connector is commonly found on desktop computers and can supply the connected device with power.


IEEE 1394b-2002[26] introduced FireWire 800 (Apple's name for the 9-conductor S800 bilingual version of the IEEE 1394b standard). This specification and corresponding products allow a transfer rate of 786.432 Mbit/s full-duplex via a new encoding scheme termed beta mode. It is backwards compatible with the slower rates and 6-conductor alpha connectors of FireWire 400. However, while the IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b standards are compatible, FireWire 800's connector, referred to as a beta connector, is different from FireWire 400's alpha connectors, making legacy cables incompatible. A bilingual cable allows the connection of older devices to the newer port. In 2003, Apple was the first to introduce commercial products with the new connector.


The full IEEE 1394b specification supports data rates up to 3200 Mbit/s (i.e., 400 MB/s) over beta-mode or optical connections up to 100 metres (330 ft) in length. Standard Category 5e unshielded twisted pair supports 100 metres (330 ft) at S100. The original 1394 and 1394a standards used data/strobe (D/S) encoding (renamed to alpha mode) with the cables, while 1394b added a data encoding scheme called 8b/10b referred to as beta mode.


IEEE 1394c-2006 was published on June 8, 2007.[29] It provided a major technical improvement, namely new port specification that provides 800 Mbit/s over the same 8P8C (Ethernet) connectors with Category 5e cable, which is specified in IEEE 802.3 clause 40 (gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted pair) along with a corresponding automatic negotiation that allows the same port to connect to either IEEE Std 1394 or IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) devices.


Under FCC Code 47 CFR 76.640 section 4, subsections 1 and 2, Cable TV providers (in the US, with digital systems) must, upon request of a customer, have provided a high-definition capable cable box with a functional FireWire interface. This applied only to customers leasing high-definition capable cable boxes from their cable provider after April 1, 2004.[50]The interface can be used to display or record Cable TV, including HDTV programming.[51] In June 2010, the FCC issued an order that permitted set-top boxes to include IP-based interfaces in place of FireWire.[52][53]


Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD include support for networking over FireWire.[61] Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me,[62] Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 include native support for IEEE 1394 networking.[63] Windows 2000 does not have native support but may work with third party drivers. A network can be set up between two computers using a single standard FireWire cable, or by multiple computers through use of a hub. This is similar to Ethernet networks with the major differences being transfer speed, conductor length, and the fact that standard FireWire cables can be used for point-to-point communication.


iPods released prior to the iPod with Dock Connector used IEEE 1394a ports for transferring music files and charging, but in 2003, the FireWire port in iPods was succeeded by Apple's dock connector and IEEE 1394 to 30-pin connector cables were made. Apple Inc. dropped support for FireWire cables starting with iPod nano (4th Generation),[73] iPod touch (2nd Generation), and iPhone in favor of USB cables.


In my testing I found that USB2 was overall faster than Firewire 400. The main difference between the two is that USB is handled mainly in the software driver (so uses your computers CPU) while Firewire is handled by a chip on your motherboard.In general people have said that USB2 at 480Mbits gives higher burst rates while Firewire 400 at 400Mbits gives consistent speeds - so firewire 400 is better overall. My experience is that with modern dual-core CPUs USB2 performs better overall. It does depend on how busy your computer is.


I recently started converting my studio to legion 5. Bought apple thunderbolt3 -> thunderbolt2, thunderbolt2 -> firewire reductions and fw 9pin to 6pin cable.firewire reduction gets successfully detected, but when fw cable is connected (and there is no difference if second end of cable is connected to something or just in air) windows play disconnecting sound and tb2->fw reduction disappears from thunderbolt control center and fw interface from device managerAt first I thought the cable was damaged (short-circuit which triggers overcurrent protection), but I measured it and all pins are connected properly and none of them are shorted except for pins 5,8,9 (A shield, power+, B shield) which is probably right(?).What's the problem? 041b061a72
