The Belkin IEEE 1394 FireWire 4-Pin to 4-Pin Cable attaches a device with a four-pin port, such as a digital camcorder, to your laptop or audio video device's four-pin port at a rate of up to 400 Mbps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Digital iLink from Sony Digital8, Philips DVDR-985 & PC, December 8, 2002

This review is from: Belkin F3N402-06-ICE 4-Pin to 4-Pin FireWire Cable (6-Feet) (Personal Computers)

Belkin provides an excellent assortment of FireWire Digital High Speed Data / Video / Audio transfer via these IEEE-1394 sheilded cables.

This cable is a 4 pin to 4 pin - 6 foot 2 way Apple FireWire & Sony iLink compatible cable. Transmit speed up to 400 MBPS (Million Bits/Per Second). The 400 speed is for digital data only. NOTE: this is an easier and better way than USB transfer!

My evaluation of this cable is for the DIGITAL VIDEO/AUDIO transfer ONLY. The max speed of which is 100 MBPS.

I have utilized this cable for digital video/audio transfer of my Sony 8mm/Hi8/Digital8 camcorder video tapes to a Philips DVDR-985 Progressive Scan Recorder and Player via this FireWire. What is truly amazing about this cable is you transfer digital information quickly and with no picture quality or audio signal loss.

I have used this cable successfully for digital video & audio transfer between Digital8 camcorder and DVD+RW Recorders (PC DVD Burner or DVD Recorder). Digital8 camcorder to Sony GV-D800 8mm/Hi8/Digital Video Cassette Recorder and the GV-D800 to the Philips DVDR-985.

This 4pin to 4pin 6 foot 2 way FireWire cable is a very necessary and outstanding addition to the world of digital data/video/audio transfer. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it should for cheap, May 3, 2005

This review is from: Belkin F3N402-06-ICE 4-Pin to 4-Pin FireWire Cable (6-Feet) (Personal Computers)

The 6' 4 pin to 4 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 isolated anyway.

The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices that need battery power. (To tell, look at the cable input. If the Firewire port looks like a USB port it's 6 pin, as the extra two pins carry current. If its tiny, it's a 4 pin outlet.) For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, you'll need a 6 pin cable on one end as Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs, DVHS VCRs, and PCs use a 4 pin. Recommended.

This review is from: Belkin F3N402-06-ICE 4-Pin to 4-Pin FireWire Cable (6-Feet) (Personal Computers)

I wanted to connect my JVC GR-D250u to my laptop that has both USB and Firewire and I didn't want to spend the money on the JVC cable. I looked the Belkin one up, found it at a fair price and received it 3 days later.
It works just as it should.
I am now transferring digital video to my laptop so i can edit it and share it with my family and friends.
