Max Value IEEE 1394a Cable, 6 Pin Male to 4 Pin Male, 2 Mtrs, Black

...bought it as an Amazon essential accessory - look for those deals if you can. The cable performs very well with my Lacie Rugged HDD - was looking for FW400 to connect up since on that HDD it's faster than USB2 for the sort of work I do.

done the job

I mean the cable actually works, but the connectors are slightly out of spec: it's pretty difficult to get any of the connectors (especially the little one) into the sockets as the size is just ever so slightly off.I'd buy something else, risking damage on the actual sockets in your computer and the device you're plugging in ain't cool.

For people that are wanting to buy a cable from the high street. DO NOT. Simply because, have you seen how cheap this little gem is!? This is quite literally pocket money at best, and it's no frills to cut down costs, but then again, why would you expect flash packing on 1. something so cheap, and 2. On a damn cable!? It's a cable, so it dosent exactly have to be cosmetically pleasing does it!?Moreover, it would have been probably in the exact same packaging conditions as what Maplins would have supplied me but with the hefty price tag of say £10. Which equates to more than 2.5% the price on here. Just goes to show how much profit they make on them, eh? It's certainly max value alright...To add insult to injury, FREE DELIVERY AS WELL. Oh my cupcakes, for those that have firewire camcorders or otherwise, you must buy this lead with utmost importancy. Also look at the lengths: 2m! Thats bigger than me! So there will be no problems stretch the lead from my enclosed computer space onto my desk, or to reach my bed from the back of the computer. Cheap cheap cheap!
