Product details
The Unibrain FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) 9-pin to 6-pin bilingual cable bridges 9-pin bilingual FireWire 800 ports and 6-pin FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) devices without adapters or signal loss. It is purpose-built for connecting legacy 6-pin cameras, professional audio interfaces, external SBP-2 hard drives, and broadcast decks directly to Unibrain Fireboard800-e V.3 PCIe cards (1233), GOF Repeater 800 optical extenders (2553), and Mac/PC workstations with 9-pin FireWire 800 ports.
Unibrain’s FireWire 800 bilingual cables deliver superior electrical performance through better connectors, shielding, and handling:
- Top-quality 9-pin bilingual and 6-pin connectors with high-density enclosures to eliminate connector-induced noise.
- Outer shield and inner foil-and-braid insulation ensuring compliance with IEEE 1394b and 1394a standards while reducing radio-frequency (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Careful storage and shipment procedures ensuring that performance is not affected by accidental excessive bend radius.
Exceeding the 4.5-Meter Cable Length Limit
With strictly controlled 110-ohm impedance and low skew, attenuation, and crosstalk, Unibrain bilingual cables safely exceed the traditional 4.5-meter passive FireWire limit and support reliable operation at lengths up to 10 meters (32.8 ft).
