Does precisely what it should. Very utile for HDTV boxes
By D. Parvin
The 6′ 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does incisively what it says it ought to for comparatively cheap. As long as you’re at the 400 MB/s general as this is, there’s no need to spend $50 on a gold plated connector and superheavy isolation like the Monster cables. Firewire is designed to function up to 15′ without signal degradation, and not similar to analog signals the 0 and 1s of digital signals aren’t subject to manipulation by electrical fields. Either they get through or they don’t, so as long as these are certified underneath the standard you save cash by not buying useless frills. It’s shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much in regards to cable color you in all probability already have your cables concealed anyway.
The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models normally are for appliances that need battery power. (The extra two pins carry current.) For those looking for an adapter for Comcast/Motorola HDTV-ready digital boxes, this is the cable you need. For numerous reason Motorola decisive to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin. (PCs distinctively use 6.) I’ve used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals amid my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended.

Satisfied Purchase
By Wisconsin Dad
I purchased the Belkin FireWire 6 foot cable to use for transfering home movies from my Digital Hand Held Sony DV Recorder, and am very satisfied with the quality of developing and cable performance.
The cable looks exceedingly sturdy and well-made, and has lived up to expected values without any hitches or glitches.
This cable, a DV recorder, a FireWire PCI card for your computer, Movie Edit Pro, and a great deal of RAM in you home PC is all you need to get started capturing your home movies and turning them into DVDs.

Good quality cable, inexpensive
By N. Schweitzer
There isn’t a whole lot to say with regards to this cable. It works wonderfully, the cable is thick (i.e. not flimsy), the connectors are well built, and I like the braided-silver-wire appearance. Best of all, most stores mark up cables to outrageous prices but this peculiar cable costs closely 70% less on Amazon than it does at respective national-chain electronic stores. If you need a 4-to-6 pin firewire cable, this is the one to get. (That being said, make sure you need a 4-6 pin–small one one end, big on the other–cable).
