Mx Firewire Ieee 1394 4 Pin Male To Ieee 1394 6 Pin Male Cord Mx-3237

The MX Firewire IEEE 1394 4 Pin Male to IEEE 1394 6 Pin Male Cord (Model: MX-3237) is a high-quality cable designed to deliver reliable data transfer between devices that support the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) standard. This cable is perfect for connecting devices such as digital cameras, audio/video equipment, external hard drives, and other FireWire-compatible devices. It is built to handle high-speed data transfer, ensuring seamless communication and efficient performance in professional environments.

Key Features and Specifications

FireWire Type 1 Connectors

The MX-3237 features FireWire Type 1 connectors (6-position) on one end and a 4-pin connector on the other. The 6-pin connection is commonly used for powering devices and handling higher data transmission speeds, while the 4-pin side is typically used for data transfer only. This makes it a versatile solution for connecting FireWire-enabled devices, including those that require a compact connection for portability, such as camcorders and digital audio equipment.

Data Transfer Speed

This FireWire cable supports a data transfer rate of up to 400 Mbps, which is ideal for high-speed data transfers between compatible devices. Whether you’re transferring audio/video files, backing up data, or streaming live video, the cable ensures that your devices can communicate effectively without bottlenecks, making it suitable for both professional and home studio setups.

Shielding for Maximum Protection

The MX Firewire 1394 Cable comes with foil plus braid shielding, which offers maximum protection against EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). This shielding minimizes the risk of signal degradation due to environmental interference, ensuring that your data transfer is stable and reliable. The shielding also helps prevent any potential loss of performance due to electrical noise from other equipment in your setup.

Plug and Play Convenience

The MX-3237 cable is designed for plug-and-play operation, meaning you can connect your devices and start using them immediately without the need for any additional drivers or complicated setup processes. This simple connectivity reduces downtime and ensures that your workflow remains uninterrupted, making it an excellent choice for professionals who rely on consistent performance.

Compatibility and Application

This cable is designed for use with 1394a FireWire signaling, ensuring compatibility with a range of FireWire-enabled devices. It is widely used in environments that require fast data transfer speeds, such as:

• Video Editing: For transferring digital video and audio files between camcorders, computers, and editing equipment.
• Audio Recording: Used in audio interfaces and digital audio workstations for quick data exchange.
• External Hard Drives: To connect external storage devices for fast backups and file transfers.
• Cameras and Surveillance Systems: To connect video cameras, security cameras, and other equipment for high-speed data transfer.

Limitations

It’s important to note that the MX Firewire IEEE 1394 4 Pin to 6 Pin Cable can only support 1394a signaling, which limits the cable to data transfer purposes only. Power delivery is not supported by this cable, so it will not power devices that require a 6-pin connection for both power and data transfer.

Conclusion

The MX Firewire IEEE 1394 4 Pin Male to IEEE 1394 6 Pin Male Cord (Model: MX-3237) is an excellent choice for high-speed data transfers between FireWire-enabled devices. With its reliable 400 Mbps speed, premium shielding to prevent interference, and plug-and-play convenience, this cable provides the necessary performance for professional audio/video setups and other FireWire-based systems. While it does not carry power, its efficient design ensures that data flows smoothly, making it a must-have for video editors, audio engineers, and anyone working with FireWire-compatible devices.
