The 5 Best Belkin Firewire cables (2023 reviews)

The cable is a must have addition for your daily usage. This Belkin firewire cable lets you transfer data faster than ever. It looks quite adequate, being coated in a clear plastic wrapping which covers a quite substantial appearing twisted-pair braided wire. The 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. The extra two pins carry current. 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 Belkin 4-pin/6-pin 400 mbps firewire cable attaches a device with a four-pin port, such as a digital camcorder, to your computer's six-pin port at a rate of up to 400 mbps.

Why We Like This:

Static or interference between devices, and the rate of transfer is decent
Hot pluggable, twisted pair construction for extreme velocity data transfer rates
Transmits data at speeds of up to 400mbps
