Unibrain FireWire 800 9-Pin to 9-Pin Cable | IEEE 1394b S800

Professional FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) 9-pin to 9-pin cable supporting up to 800 Mbps with quad shielding and low EMI for legacy AV and industrial systems.

The Unibrain FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) 9-pin to 9-pin cable is built for high-speed, low-noise FireWire connections in professional AV, broadcast, industrial, and scientific environments where FireWire 800 is still mission-critical.

Unlike generic FireWire cables, Unibrain designs these with precision 110-ohm impedance control, multi-layer shielding (foil + braid), and high-density connector housings to minimize skew, attenuation, crosstalk, EMI, and RFI. The result is stable S800 performance even at longer cable lengths.

These cables exceed the original IEEE-1394b 4.5 m limitation and are engineered for reliable operation up to 10 m (32.8 ft) when used with compliant FireWire 800 devices and host controllers.

FireWire hot-plugging is fully supported, making these cables ideal for FireWire storage arrays, professional audio interfaces, machine vision cameras, and legacy broadcast equipment that demand dependable throughput.
