I use this cable everyday at work to connect my portable hard drive to my work laptop. It performs very well and the speed is as expected for such a cable. Since I am going from 800 down to 400 it MBS it still performs as well as expected

Comments about Cables To Go 3m IEEE-1394B Firewire® 800 9-pin/4-pin Cable:

It's difficult to tell the precise shape of a connector on a firewire cable from the photo on the internet catalog, so I assumed when I ordered a firewire cable to connect to my Panasonic camcorder it would be fine. A fire wire cable is a fire wire cable right? Well maybe not! The rectangular shaped black plastic IEEE end of the cable does not configure to my iMac G4 and the so the cable is useless to me. I'm hoping the correct cable is available and Cables to Go will make the exchange [...]

Comments about Cables To Go 3m IEEE-1394B Firewire® 800 9-pin/4-pin Cable:

i needed something to tether a canon 1ds mark II (4 pin) to a new macbook pro (9 pin) and figured an adapter (6 to 9 pin) wasnt the way to go.

so far the length hasn't been an issue, since i have limited space where i shoot...so... so far so good.

my one, quasi-con is the stiffness of the cord. normally i would consider this a pro, because it feels very heavy duty and tough, however, since i have this attached to my camera as i shoot, i'm very aware of the cord and wished it "moved" with me in a more fluid manner.

i will say that i've had connection issues while shooting tethered, HOWEVER i think this cable is the LEAST likely culprit, since its physical connection seems pretty good. i think its far more likely some software glitch in the canon program or setting im unaware of.

overall i'm quite happy with my purchase.

Comments about Cables To Go 3m IEEE-1394B Firewire® 800 9-pin/4-pin Cable:

It was a perfect solution to the upgrading of the Firewire ports on the new MacBook Pros. I needed a cable to hook up my Cannon HV30 Camcorder and after going to 5 major retail stores with no luck, this solved my problem!! Now I can transfer video with ease and speed. Even though it might be a bit pricey, this cable is truly hard to find in stores so it is worth the investment.

Service & Delivery comments:

Very quick delivery for a very reasonable price
