Firewire 800 To 400 Adapter

Which cable to get? What length? Why bother? Use your existing FireWire 400 cables with this FireWire adapter from Sonnet to connect FireWire 400 devices to a FireWire 800 port, without going through the trouble of purchasing yet another cable. Just plug it in between a FireWire 800 port and a standard FireWire 400 cable's 6-pin male connector (the other end of the FW400 cable plugs into your FireWire device). It can't get any simpler.

I have 7 firewire 400 drives in series from a Macbook Pro ending in a Protools Rack System. Signal flowing just fine.

This adapter works just as advertised. It's plugged into the back of my iMac and runs my Time Machine backup drive and older iPods.

This little device handily makes attaching a firewire cable a breeze. Instead of having all the combinations of firewire cables there are you simply can insert this adapter and presto you are in business.

Does what it's supposed to do.
Apple should include these with the new Macs for "older" peripherals.

Bought this device because the new MacBooks only have one firewire 400 port on them and all my firewire hard drives are 800 ports. This little connector has made these hard drives usable again.

It couldn't be any simpler. When my new mac upgraded the firewire port from 400 to 800, I needed to chain my backup drives like I'd done in the past. Plug it in, plug them in... done. Downside: the shipping was more than the purchase price. I did receive it promptly but...

As I was very annoyed with Apple, when i bought my Mac Mini, to find out I could not plug in my iSight camera. They should have at least carried your product at there store. But sure enough, Sonnet came to the rescue & PC Connection made sure I would be able to connect, by delivering the 6-pin to 9-pin FireWire Adapter within 24 hours.

This adapter was a quick and easy way for me to continue to use my FW400 cables and peripherals that I already owned with my newly purchased iMac with a FW800. Worked perfectly!

Functional, but big Date: January 9, 2009
Written By: bdubrecords From: WV

Pros: functional
Cons: long

Reviews & Ratings for Firewire 800 To 400 Adapter
This works well, but it's long. When you combine its length with the length of the Firewire plug going into it, you probably have 4-5 inches sticking out of your computer. This means if the cord is pulled, there's a lot of leverage acting against your Firewire port. I'm worried about this. Other than that, it's good.
