When you need to get your video files off your digital camcorder, the limiting factor is what ports you need to go between. Small camcorders these days usually have a 4-pin FireWire 400 port, but new Laptops and Macs have the high-speed 9-pin FireWire 800 sockets! This kind of generation gap can be a real headache if you're caught without the original cable - or if it doesn't even go between the standards you have access to.

Trust Cable Chick to bring you the DV cable solution you've been craving for since you recorded your first digital masterwork. It runs directly between 4p and 9p FireWire standards, keeping speeds throttled to the slower 400mbps rate as you'd expect. But that's still faster than USB for transferring your files and videos between devices!

Jump in now and save youself the hassle the next time you're caught without your original cable, or just don't want to risk it when you travel. As a replacement or a spare, this is right up there in quality with any factory-supplied original!
