EXSYS FireWire 800 - 400 -kaapeli 9-pin - 6-pin, 1,0 m, musta EX-K6860

Connecting newer FireWire 800 devices to legacy FireWire 400 ports often requires an adapter or a special cable. The EXSYS EX-K6860 solves this by providing a direct 9-pin to 6-pin link, eliminating the need for separate converters and ensuring reliable high-speed data transfer between mixed FireWire generations.

Who is it for

This cable is essential for professionals and enthusiasts who work with both modern FireWire 800 peripherals—such as external hard drives, audio interfaces, and video cameras—and older computers or devices equipped with FireWire 400 ports. It is also ideal for connecting FireWire 400 devices to FireWire 800 hubs or host adapters.

Tips

Always power off devices before connecting or disconnecting FireWire cables to avoid potential damage. Although the cable is hot-swappable, safe removal is recommended. For best performance, connect directly to a FireWire 800 port when available; otherwise, the cable will automatically negotiate the highest common speed.
