Bridge the gap between your portable digital devices and your workstation with the Legacy Pro Series. This 1.8-meter FireWire 1394a cable features a 6-Pin Male connector on one end and a 4-Pin Male connector on the other. It is the definitive solution for capturing high-quality video from DV camcorders or connecting specialized portable peripherals to your computer's FireWire 400 port. ✨📼

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns 🙋♂️
1. 🔥 Does this cable provide power to my camera? No. While the 6-pin end can carry power, the 4-pin end does not. This is why camcorders (which use the 4-pin port) usually require their own battery or AC adapter to be plugged in during use.
2. ⚠️ Is this compatible with "i.LINK"? Yes! i.LINK is simply Sony's brand name for the IEEE 1394 4-pin interface. This cable is 100% compatible with all i.LINK equipped camcorders and devices.
3. 🔌 Will this work with a modern USB-C port? Not directly. To connect this to a modern computer with only USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 ports, you will need multiple adapters (FireWire to Thunderbolt 2, and Thunderbolt 2 to 3/4).
