It does what it says, and it does it well

I found this to be exactly what I needed to extend a firewire (6-pin) cable from the stated maximum of 5 metres to double that amount (10-metres). It worked well for me and it's exactly solved a difficult problem of distance between the computer and a Digital to Analogue device. I am quite pleased with this item, notwithstanding many negative comments appearing in this forum.

Firewire extended!

I read the reviews on this one before purchasing. A large number of them were negative. I don't understand the fuss. These cables work great and do daisy-chain. Important to start at the signal source with the 'active' block attached to the next cable leading away from the source.I linked two together and a standard Firewire at the end attached to the target (PC) and it worked just fine.

Does the job

The comment about it not working with 4 pin devices is not entirely correct. The difference between 6 pin and 4 pin, is that 6 pin has power - which is obviously a requirement for an active cable! You must have a 6 pin device on the male end of this cable. I have a 6-4 passive cable hooked to the female end of the extender and it works great with my HDV camera. Of course, on my PC it is plugged into a 6 pin jack.

Works for my needs, but somewhat expensive

Seems like a lot of money just to extend a cable... saw these in the US for a lot less and I had to pay for shipping of course. But it sure does the job for my audio capture device (Edirol), so I can only say it works as advertised.
