The Retractable Flat Firewire Cable offers you a standard, simple connection to all types of consumer electronics, including digital audio devices, digital VCRs and digital video cameras; as well as to traditional computer peripherals such as optical drives (DVD, CDRW) and hard disk drives.

Firewire supports up to 63 devices on a single bus, and connecting to a device is as easy as plugging in a telephone jack. In addition, Firewire provides users with the ability to instantly connect devices without first turning off their machines. Another key feature of Firewire is its ability to stream A/V data off a hard disc in real time, without computer assistance. The protocols also include device-specific commands to start and stop camcorders and VCRs, and other tasks.
