The modern computer world has switched from ports dedicated to a single purpose to a port that can have many different devices connected to it. In the video production and audio production niche market that type of connector is the FireWire or IEEE-1394 standard cable. This GoldX Dataplus cable is a non-powered 6-pin to 4-pin version of that standard. It is normally used to connect self-powered devices like cameras to a computer or other device with a powered 6-pin port on it.
