Firewire 800 Cable - 9 Pin to 9 Pin: 1.5m

This high quality Firewire 800 (IEEE-1394B) cable allows you to get the full benefit that the new Firewire 800 standard delivers - typically, anything up to 800mbps. The cable is 1.5m in length.

What's The New Firewire 800 Standard?

The faster 800Mbps Firewire standard is called Firewire 1394b, FireWire 800 or just FireWire B. FireWire 800 standard cables offer a much higher total data speed, 800Mpbs, twice that of the original FireWire standard. They use a special 9-pin connector, compliant with the IEEE 1394b standard, and in addition to speed increases have some new features that improve reliability of data. You will use these cables with new, faster 800Mbps products.

How Firewire 800/Firewire1394b works

If you plug a FireWire 800 device, like a hard drive, into a FireWire 400 (or 1394a) port it will still work. But it will not give you 800 performance unless you use 800Mbps cables and connect to an 800Mbps FireWire port. Furthermore, 800 devices have 9 pin Firewire ports where 400 devices have 6-pin ports (and there are connectors with their own 4-pin connections). So depending on your computer and your FireWire device, there are a few possibilities.
