Customer Reviews


The 6' 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does exactly what it says it should for relatively cheap. As long as you're at the 400 MB/s standard as this is, there's no need to spend $50 on a gold plated connector and superheavy isolation like the Monster cables. Firewire is designed to function up to 15' without signal degradation, and unlike analog signals the 0 and 1s of digital signals aren't subject to manipulation by electrical fields. Either they get through or they don't, so as long as these are certified under the standard you save money by not buying useless frills. It's shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much about cable color you probably already have your cables hidden anyway.
The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices that need battery power. (The extra two pins carry current.) For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, this is the cable you need. For some reason Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin. (PCs typically use 6.) I've used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals between my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended.

There isn't a whole lot to say about this cable. It works wonderfully, the cable is thick (i.e. not flimsy), the connectors are well built, and I like the braided-silver-wire appearance. Best of all, most stores mark up cables to outrageous prices but this particular cable costs nearly 70% less on Amazon than it does at various national-chain electronic stores. If you need a 4-to-6 pin firewire cable, this is the one to get. (That being said, make sure you need a 4-6 pin--small one one end, large on the other--cable).
