Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet)
Customer Review: Good cable; My bad
Summary: 4 Stars
As usual, I screwed up again. I presumed that previous advice was correct, without double checking. When I asked someone (I forget whom or where) about whether I should get the 4 wire to 6 wire, 4 to 4, or 6 to 6, which I should get to connect my laptop computer to my camcorder, they assured me that the correct connection was 4 to 6, so that's what I ordered. They were wrong. On receipt of the package and testing it on my computer (an HP laptop), it required a 4 pin wire. The camera also takes a 4 pin, and thus I should have ordered the 4 to 4 pin wire (which I have already done).
That said, please check and double-check the connections you will require; don't just assume. The camera is almost assuredly a 4 pin. One usually has a 6 pin connection on a computer, but that is where it is problematic. The 6 pin connector looks like the standard DIN plug, but does not fit into same; the 4 pin is decidedly different, looking like the socket that is almost square, and can be easily seen on the camera. Look before you leap.
Insofar as the cable is concerned, I obviously have not had a chance to use the device. It looks quite adequate, being coated in a clear plastic wrapping which covers a quite substantial appearing twisted-pair braided wire. The plugs have an obvious strain relief at the ends of the plugs, and so it should be more than adequate.
The only reason I did not give the cable 5 stars is due the inconvenience of having to purchase a new cable, and the question of what to do with the one I have now. I know, it's my fault, but I had to take it out somewhere.
