Description
A 1394B 9-pin to 6-pin cable is a type of FireWire cable that has a 9-pin connector on one end and a 6-pin connector on the other end. This cable is designed for connecting devices that have different FireWire port types, specifically 9-pin FireWire 800 and 6-pin FireWire 400.
The 9-pin connector on the cable is typically used to connect to the FireWire 800 port on one device, while the 6-pin connector is used to connect to the FireWire 400 port on the other device. The transfer rate of the cable is determined by the slower of the two devices, which in this case would be the FireWire 400 device, with a maximum transfer rate of 400 Mbps.
