Featuring a nine-pin connector design, the FireWire IEEE 1394b ports will continue to support all the advantages that have made FireWire a predominant high-speed interface - including simultaneous connection of many devices, real-time digital audio and video transfer, peer-to-peer device connections, Plug-and-Play device installation, and hot swap capability. The FireWire IEEE 1394b specification is backward-compatible with existing FireWire technology, which makes it an ideal solution for those using current FireWire products as well as for those using devices designed according to the IEEE 1394b specification. Cable type: FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) Cable length: 1.8 Gender type: male/male Connector 1: 9-p Connector 2: 6-p Cable colour: White
