Firewire Cable IEEE 1394 B Type ( IEEE 1394B ) Beta 9-pin Male to Beta 9-pin Male Color Option ( Subject to Inventory ): 1. Black PVC Jacket 2. Clear PVC Jacket Aluminum Braided For Reference Only: Firewire was originally created by engineers at Apple computer in the mid-1990s. It is now a recognized and broadly accepted data transfer standard, particularly for digital video applications. The transfer rate of USB 1 devices is 11 Mbps. Firewire's transfer rate is more than 20 times faster, maxing out at a theoretical 400 Mbps. Actual transfer rates are usually slower, but the bottom line is that firewire is extremely fast and is preferred over USB 1.0 for large data transfers.
