Review: 1394 Firewire 4-6 M/F Adapter - Excellent product for converting from 6-pin connections found on most desktop computers and the 4-pin found on most laptop computers. I searched locally for a 4-pin to 4-pin cable to no avail. Most electronic stores I went into did not stock 4-pin/4-pin cables, only 4-pin/6-pin, so I ordered this unique adapter. I did think it was pricy for only one connector though. Originally, especially with the pic shown, it appears that you are getting two connectors which is what I anticipated. Wrong! There is only one adapter that comes with this item packaged. It works great though and can be used to connect your portable hard drive to a laptop especially if yours has the 4-pin connector like my Dell Inspirion 1526. Also, the 4-pin is essential for your connection of most Mini-DV Camcorders (4-pin) to your laptop computer which has 4-pin. Just insert cable into adapter, then the adapter into your laptop....and your in business ! The price isn't bad when you consider the alternative though...It Works !

This device worked okay at first, but after several uses, the connection from the 4 pin to my laptop began to loosen to the point that I had to prop up the adapter to prevent the weight of it pulling it down and losing the connection. I used it to transfer videos from a mini-dv camcorder to my laptop. As long as I propped it up, the transfer was fine ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com IEEE-1394 FireWire Adapter 4 Pin - 6 Pin M/F (FIRE46MF) - PASOW FireWire 800 to 400 9 to 6 pin Cable (9pin 6pin) 6FT, IEEE 1394 Firewire 800 9-pin/6-pin Cable 6 Feet(9 pin to 6 pin) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437022-startech-com-ieee-1394-firewire-adapter-4-pin-6-pin](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/437022-startech-com-ieee-1394-firewire-adapter-4-pin-6-pin) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
