Product Description

Which cable to get? What length? Why bother? Use your existing FireWire 400 cables with this FireWire adapter from Sonnet to connect FireWire 400 devices to a FireWire 800 port, without going through the trouble of purchasing yet another cable. Just plug it in between a FireWire 800 port and a standard FireWire 400 cable's 6-pin male connector (the other end of the FW400 cable plugs into your FireWire device). It can't get any simpler.

chaining devices together ..........2007-05-26

OK, Apple is ahead of everyone again with firewire 800. If you need a 500 GB external disk to receive footage from a digital film pack, you may find yourself needing to chain a firewire 400 production device into a system that was intended for firewire 800. This adapter is one of the simplest way to solve the problem.

A Must-Have .......2007-03-25

This is a must-have little bit of kit. I run Cubase 4 on an iMac. I prefer to use a firewire audio interface and the Sonnet FAD-824 allows me to run a Glyph external hard drive from the 800 port on the iMac. If I owned the world, this adapter would be included with every computer that had a firewire 800 port. It is a simple no-brainer solution.

It just works..........2007-01-16

I finally have access to that worthless little port! I can leave my iSight hooked up and plug in my external drives as well. Couldn't beat the price, either. With only USB one on this Apple, it needs all the usable high speed ports I can get. One of these days maybe Steve will consult me before some of these major hardware decisions which leave the end user out in the cold.

This is a great little connector. It allows me to connect Firewire 400 drives to my Firewire 800 port. This gives me access to another port, which makes for faster data transfers, because I can have both channels working at the same time. There's nothing to go wrong. It's a simple connector that just works.

simple and works.......2006-03-22

if you have a G4 laptop dont waste your firewire 800 port, buy this connector and you'll have two firewire ports instead of one... simple and works
