Summary: Your Digital iLink from Sony Digital8, Philips DVDR-985 & PC
Review: Belkin provides an excellent assortment of FireWire Digital High Speed Data / Video / Audio transfer via these IEEE-1394 sheilded cables.

This cable is a 4 pin to 4 pin - 6 foot 2 way Apple FireWire & Sony iLink compatible cable. Transmit speed up to 400 MBPS (Million Bits/Per Second). The 400 speed is for digital data only. NOTE: this is an easier and better way than USB transfer!

My evaluation of this cable is for the DIGITAL VIDEO/AUDIO transfer ONLY. The max speed of which is 100 MBPS.

I have utilized this cable for digital video/audio transfer of my Sony 8mm/Hi8/Digital8 camcorder video tapes to a Philips DVDR-985 Progressive Scan Recorder and Player via this FireWire. What is truly amazing about this cable is you transfer digital information quickly and with no picture quality or audio signal loss.

I have used this cable successfully for digital video & audio transfer between Digital8 camcorder and DVD+RW Recorders (PC DVD Burner or DVD Recorder). Digital8 camcorder to Sony GV-D800 8mm/Hi8/Digital Video Cassette Recorder and the GV-D800 to the Philips DVDR-985.

This 4pin to 4pin 6 foot 2 way FireWire cable is a very necessary and outstanding addition to the world of digital data/video/audio transfer. Enjoy.

Summary: I got the wrong cable not Belkin brand
Review: I asked for a Belkin cable but they sent me the junk cable (not a Belkin brand cable). Please don't trust this site, I ordered the cable because it says I will get the Belking brand cable for $7 but the cable they had sent me was not a Belkin brand, it is a junk cable, I hope it cost not more than 50cents.

Before you place an order make sure you are getting the right product......Bad experience.

Summary: It costs too much, and wears out too fast!
Review: I thought Belkin was a good name, so I payed $20 for a cable that I could have gotten for $5. After a year of heavy use it developed a short, so I purchased a cable for a quarter of the price, and it's working fine, and I bet it will last as long as the Belkin cable did. I have had trouble with several Belkin cables: my Belkin Firewire shorted, my Belkin ethernet shorted, and my Belkin VideoBus shorted. It's not the plugs, it is an intermitant short somewhere in the wire, maby it is interferance caused cheap wire.
