Review on πŸ”Œ CERRXIAN FireWire Adapter: Transfer Data with 1394 Type A 400 6 Pin Female to 1394 Type B 800 9 Pin Male Converter by Jeff Johnson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't work for me.

I dug up an Apple iSight webcam for use with my Mac mini (Late 2014) because you can't buy either of these things right now due to the COVID-19 crisis and people working from home. It worked with an Apple Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire adapter, a FireWire 800-400 cable, and a Newertech hard drive enclosure with FireWire 400 ports. I figured I could eliminate clutter and possibly some electronic interference by using this case cut out adapter. but my mini couldn't see the camera anymore. The adapter snapped in nice and tight, shipping was fast, packaging was good. It just didn't work with my setup. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Pros
  • Works with standard FW400 female 6-pin cables and FW800 female 9-pin cables.
Cons
  • Neutral
