Retractable USB/Mini/Firewire 1394 Cable Travel Kit - 6 Adapters/Converters Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I acquired this to have the universal ability to connect many types of hardware to my PC without having to shuffle through cables in a drawer. The adaptors attach and unattach easily enough, but after one full extension of the retracable wires it will not completely retract any more... The two specific connectors I wanted it for do not work with the hardware I wanted them for. The conectors work at the most basic function. But if you have a higher end device, the connector will not do anything more than simply connect it to the PC. I tried the firewire to USB connector and it simply allowed my PC to recognize something had been connected but would not allow me to access the unit connected... Maybe some included software would be a good idea on a mini disk? If you are looking for a USB to USB, this will work, but other connectors don't really do anything. If you have the wires already, don't bother with this unit... in fact, even though this is extremely inexpensive, don't bother period.

Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

1394a FireWire 6-pin to 4-pin Cable - 1M Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My version is actually a black cable. It works. Our Sony TRV19 camera won't record video anymore, so we got a new JVC everio HM200 HD camcorder, but needed to transfer the video from the sony miniDV tapes to the computer. That process only works with this cable type, not a USB cable. I'm half way through the tape transfers right now, working perfectly. Set the camera to the VCR setting (for playback) and imovie 09 finds it, rewinds the tape for you and imports everything perfectly. This cable saved 10 hrs of memories for us. Cheap and useful.

(More customer reviews)I tried this cord on several different devices. I bought mine after losing the cord to a monitor after moving. I was skeptical because of the different shapes of several plugs but it really is universal.

Sabrent USB to DB25 Female Parallel Converter Adapter 6-Foot Cable (USB-DB25F) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My HP LaserJet 1100 is reliable and inexpensive to run. My computers no longer have the parallel port it requires. This cable adapter was the perfect solution. I simply plugged my printer cable into the adapter cable, and the adapter cable into my USB port - worked the first time with no messing around. Windows is a bit quirky, though. You must plug the adapter cable consistently into the same USB for the printer to be recognized.

USB Travel Kit 1394 Firewire Cable 6 Adapters A/b Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can use the adapters on this device to adapt the cable to support different kinds of things. One moment, it's a USB cable! The next moment, it's a FireWire cable! And if what you want is a cable that can be used for many different things, this is right up your alley. It works just fine for this purpose.
It does _NOT_, however, convert FireWire to USB or vice-versa. If this is what you need, then you will be disappointed, because it was never intended to do this.
