 Does exactly what it should. Very useful for HDTV boxes May 03, 2005
By D. Parvin
"dparv"
The 6' 4 pin to 6 pin Belkin IEEE 1394/Firewire cable does exactly what it says it should for relatively cheap. As long as you're at the 400 MB/s standard 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 unlike 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 under the standard you save money by not buying useless frills. It's shiny translucent silver, not black, but if you care that much about cable color you probably already have your cables hidden anyway.
The 4 pin models work with most electrical powered devices; the 6 pin models usually are for devices 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 some reason Motorola decided to use a 6 pin adapter, where almost all HDTVs and DVHS VCRs use a 4 pin. (PCs typically use 6.) I've used one for a while now to run flawless 1080i signals between my Comcast HDTV box and my DVHS VCR. Recommended.

Satisfied Purchase Jul 31, 2005
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 manufacturing and cable performance.
The cable looks extremely sturdy and well-made, and has lived up to expectations without any hitches or glitches.
This cable, a DV recorder, a FireWire PCI card for your computer, Movie Edit Pro, and plenty of RAM in you home PC is all you need to begin capturing your home movies and turning them into DVDs.

Good quality cable, inexpensive Mar 12, 2006
By N. Schweitzer
There isn't a whole lot to say about 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 particular cable costs nearly 70% less on Amazon than it does at various 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, large on the other--cable).

Works Well Jun 07, 2007
By the Lumberjack
This cord worked well for transferring movies from a DVR to my Mac.
Also, while hiking through the wilderness, I came in contact with three bears. I was able to scare off two of them by whipping this fine cord around in large arcs like a whip. Later, after the third bear lost interest in me, the cord served as an excellent tourniquet.
Highly recommend.

I connected a Cannon Mini DV camera to a Mac laptop to transfer home movies to DVDs and it worked very well.
