| FEATURES: The AmazonBasics IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin FireWire Cable is a natural way to connect any peripheral that has an IEEE1394 400 port such as digital cameras, network attached storage devices, external hard drives, and printers. High-quality, gold-plated connectors help resist corrosion for a long life and signal purity. Recommended Uses: Connecting audio/visual peripherals and multimedia devices to your computer Connecting peripherals to your computer such as digital video cameras and fast external hard drives Connecting two compatible devices directly for peer-to-peer device communication without a computer, such as between a scanner and a printer Technical Specifications: Connector Type: IEEE1394 4P male to 6P male; solder type w/metal shell Connector Plating: Gold Cable Length: 6 ft./1.8 m Transfer Speed: 400 Mbps Jacket: PVC, black Built for High-Speed Transfer of Multimedia Content Also known by the brand names FireWire (Apple), i.LINK (Sony), and Lynx (Texas Instruments), the IEEE1394 interface offers high-speed communication and real-time data transfer, making it a great choice for connecting data storage devices and digital video cameras. In fact, IEEE1394 is the primary interface used for nearly all high-end professional audio and visual equipment. Plug-and-Play Capability Although the cable doesn't require a host computer to operate, giving it a distinct advantage over USB cables, it features plug-and-play functionality for those times when you wish to connect to your machine. This means that by connecting an IEEE 1394-enabled device to your computer, your operating system will auto-detect the device and ask for a driver disk. If the driver is already installed, your computer will immediately start "talking" to the device. IEEE 1394 devices are also hot-pluggable, which means that they can be connected and disconnected at any time--even with the device and computer powered on--without harming the device or compromising your data. Since 2003 many computers intended for home or professional audio/video use have built-in FireWire/i.LINK ports. Full support for IEEE 1394 is available for Microsoft Windows XP, Linux, Apple Mac OS 8.6 through Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X and greater. Manufactured for Performance and Durability The AmazonBasics IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin FireWire Cable features gold-plated connectors for high-level conductivity and durability. The cable is built with shielding and a durable, black PVC outer jacket.
