EXSYS FireWire 800 naar 400 kabel, 9-polig naar 6-polig, 5 m, zwart EX-K6863

Transfer data at blazing speeds up to 800 Mbps with this 5-meter FireWire cable, bridging the gap between FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) and FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) devices. The 9-pin to 6-pin configuration ensures seamless connectivity for your high-performance peripherals.

Overview

The EXSYS EX-K6863 FireWire cable connects a 9-pin FireWire 800 port to a 6-pin FireWire 400 port, enabling you to use older FireWire 400 devices with newer FireWire 800 hosts, or vice versa. It supports data transfer rates up to 800 Mbps, making it ideal for external hard drives, digital cameras, audio interfaces, and other bandwidth-intensive equipment. The cable is double-shielded to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable data integrity even in demanding environments.

What stands out

• High-speed data transfer up to 800 Mbps for efficient file transfers and streaming.
• Backward compatible with FireWire 400 devices, providing flexibility across your hardware.
