Sanoxy 3ft FireWire 800 cable in black bridges 6-pin FireWire 400 devices and 9-pin FireWire 800 ports so while it works universally with IEEE-1394 compliant devices the data rate is limited to 400 Mbps due to the 6-pin connection, and it is hot pluggable with premium triple-shielding to minimize EMI/RFI and broad system support for computers equipped with IEEE-1394 ports to upgrade or maintain FireWire connectivity.
