General Advice

FireWire cables and USB cables are used to connect a device to a Compuetr or hub. They are constructed of the highest quality wire allowed by the FireWire and USB specification, which allows you to maximise the full potential of the cable.

USB cable:
  • A Low Speed rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (187.5 kB/s) is defined by USB 1.0. Used primarily to save cost in low-bandwidth Human Interface Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks.
  • The Full Speed rate of 12 Mbit/s (1.5 MB/s) is the basic USB data rate defined by USB 1.1.
  • A High-Speed (USB 2.0) rate of 480 Mbit/s (60 MB/s) was introduced in 2001. All high-speed devices are capable of falling back to full-speed operation if necessary.

FireWire cable:

  • Real-time data transfer for multimedia applications 100, 200, & 400Mbits/s data rates today
  • 800 Mbits/s and multi-Gbits/s upgrade path

There are currently two standards: the original FireWire, now referred to as FireWire 400 or IEEE 1394, and FireWire 800 or IEEE 1394b. As the names imply, the maximum speed of FireWire 400 is 400 Mbits per second, whereas FireWire 800 tops out at 800 Mbits.

Whats the difference between FireWire and USB?
The key difference between FireWire and USB is that FireWire is intended for devices working with a lot more data -- things like camcorders, DVD players and digital audio equipment. FireWire and USB share a number of characteristics but differ in some important ways.

*FireWire cable and USB cable limits
The maximum cable length is currently 4.5 to 5 meters or around 15 feet.
