What firewire cable should I buy?

What firewire cable should I buy to connect my Macbook to my external drive Western Digital My Book Studio 500GB Quad Interface with Firewire 400/800? I am buying several of each for a new film class and I want to be sure to get the right equipment! (I'm confused about amounts of pins)
Thanks for helping a novice!

There are two types of cables - FW800 and FW400. However, your MacBook does not support FW800 so all you need is the standard FW400 cable. It has six (6) pins.

What Firewire Cable to buy?

hi,
does anyone know what firewire cables work with isight? in order with the firewire cable adaptor, the thingy which holds the cable and plugs into the isight? i would like to use a cable which is about 5-6 meters.
thankful for any tips.
alex

Hello Alex,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
the problem with most 3rd party FW cables is, that they don't fit into the isight cable holder thingy.
In addition to the suggestions others have offered here, you can get cables from your Apple VAR, Apple Store, or from the Apple web site. Several choices are available from Apple.
If you buy from an Apple retailer, he can find the correct items for you. For web ordering, as of this date:
]The 1.8m replacement for the cable that came with my iSight.
]The short (0.5m / 19 inches) version.
iSight Service: Frequently Asked Questions also lists a replacement
b FireWire Cable Adapter
- current price: $6.25 US, but I cannot locate the part number. Your Apple retailer can help you.
<hr>
so the task would be to find either a FW cable that matches the apple FW cable plug, or to find a ""connector" which would connect a 3rd party FW cable with a white apple one.
You can buy the entire iSight Accessory Kit, which includes both the cable
b AND adapter
as well as replacement mounts.

What Firewire Cable Do I Order for This Purpose?

I have an older (2004) Sony Handycam model TRV 460 with a Firewire port. I use a 2008 Harpertown Mac Pro, and need the right cable to transfer video.
I've been told this:http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8706G/A#overview
Or this:

is what I need, but I'm not sure. If anyone knows please advise....thanks

I looked at the manual for the camera and the cable it comes with is a USB cable.
Firewire cables should look like this (FW400 on left FW800 on right):

What connection/cable could I buy to connect to my Cisco switch?

I'm in a purchase project of a new Gigabit switch for my company.
Currently my company has a "Catalyst 3560G-48TS". It has four additional ports called SFP that I supposed can be used to connect to another switch to constitute a sort of "backbone", right? I want to connect the current switch to the new one with as much transfer rate as possible. Ideally at least 5Gbps (yeah, if I use a single 1gbps cable, it's certainly not enough). Both switches will be separated at a distance of about 15m.
I know nothing about this SFP. Could someone tell me what are supported or supporting this? What cables should I buy? Optical fibers? What's the transfer rate could I expect from EACH SFP port?
Of course, I'm more interested to not so expensive solution, or at least a good quality/price ratio solution.
Thanks in advance.

SFP is a small form factor pluggable interface module (transceiver). The SFP port on the switch allows a user to insert a SFP module to meet the distance requirements between the interconnecting equipment.
According to the 3860 datasheet, the SFP ports are 1Gbps. The ports can be outfitted with a copper-based SFP module (100m maximum distance) or optical modules (short reach and long-reach, with wavelength dependent options as well). The copper-based SFP uses standard CAT 5 cabling with RJ45s. The optical SFPs will use optical jumpers with LC-type connectors, either with single- or multi-mode types of fiber, depending on the selected SFP.
The list of supported SFP modules is listed in the data sheet (link below).
Your network could use the CAT5 copper module (probably the lowest cost).
Hope this helps!

You would need a Firewire 800-800 (9-pin) cable and a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor.

So to cut a long story short, what windows 8 should i buy for bootcamp. Please could you provide a link, preferbly amazon or if not a UK website.

Here are a few links I could find that are aparently the full install not an upgrade. I'd check with the seller to be sure though.

"Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?"

“Which Firewire cable should I purchase to connect a late 2006 Intel-based iMac with a 400 port to a Mid 2010 IMac with an 800 port?”

To connect both iMacs, you need a FireWire 400 to 800 adapter, and a FireWire 400 cable, so you will be able to connect both Macs

What size iphone should I buy?

What size Iphone should I buy? I have a relatively small music library. I anticipate takeing a lot of pictures and videos but assume those would ultimately get stored elsewhere (upload to the cloud)? I would probably watch movies/videos on my ipad and would not store alot of documents on it? What am I forgeting?
Thanks
Velo

IMO, forget the calcs and buy as much storage as you can afford. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Plus it will be worth more when you sell it.
Note that videos are not stored in iCloud and videos taken with the iPhone can be very big, hundreds to thousands of megabytes.

What firewire cable?

Just bought a new 13" Macbook Pro. What firewire cable do I need to use Migration Manager to move files from my Imac?

If the iMac has a Firewire 800 port then you need a Firewire 800 cable. It depends how old your iMac is, can you give us any idea?

What cat 5e cable should one buy?

Some good info here
http://www.howtogeek.com/70494/what-kind-of-ethernet-cat-5e6a-cable-should-i-use/
mainly depends on your requirements...
If you are buying a lot then maybe go for cat6a which will help in the long run if going 1gb..

I came across a post asking whether people buy cheap network cables or premium cables and it was an interesting question which raised another question.
One thing that I picked up was to make sure that the cables were not CCA (Copper Cladded Aluminium) which apparently is bad.
However, the post did not really cover what what should be looking for in a patch lead.
Should it be AWG26 or AWG24. Should one use booted or non booted or strain relief for cabinets and connecting computers to network port. What other considerations should one take into account?
Any thoughts?

What Backup drive should I buy

I am looking to purchase a backup drive. The size 2GB, I am considering the Apple wireless drive but should I look at any other manufacturer?
I am also going to use this drive initially to restore the erased data from my second internal drive. This also leads me to ask what recovery software should I consider.
I would appreciate any feedback.

Many people on these forums use OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series. IMHO that is all that I will buy, high quality and reasonable price. You can find them by clicking
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
As for what software, you should buy 2 of these drives. The first drive should use Apple's Time Machine, it's already built into OS X. The reason for a second drive is when it comes to backing up redundancy is very smart because backups can fail too. For drive two use a cloning app such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

What FireWire cable does the Intel 24 inch iMac use?

I am trying to transfer settings and stuff from an iMac G4 computer to my new iMac 24 inch Intel based. What kind of FireWire cable do I need? The gal from Apple said 4800? I'm having trouble locating it. I need to know what to search for online.

If you have a FireWire 400 cable then all you need is a 400 to 800 Adapter.

If not then you'll need a FireWire 400 to 800 cable.

What fan part should I buy - HP desktop

I have an HP Pavilion elite e9220y home premium.
prod # NY553AA
windows 7; 64 bit
I think my fan is going; what part should I buy? does it have to be an HP part?
I posted a similar question yesterday, but the answer was regarding a hard drive! so I'm trying again....thanks so much....
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Before you try to replace the CPU fan, you really need to determine the source. You can turn off the computer. Then you can open the case, and lay the cabinet on its side. That will give you an open area to look down into.
1) Visually inspect. Clean any dust globs on the blades. Using a can of compress air (never shake the can), blow away the dust bunnies.
2) You said you'd go to a shop to replace the fan if needed.
3) The CPU fan has to be measured. You'd have to shop the size and RPM/PWM specs. I have no source for a given CPU fan number.
