Reply-To: <alan@greatarrow.com>
I use the thin firewire cable sold by Apple. It works fine for me and
is more flexibility and lighter weight than the standard issue
firewire cable.

Hi Willie;
The 1394A spec says maximum distance 4.5 meters or ~15 feet
between
devices (ie Mat ot Camera max 15' or Mac to a FW Hub to Camera
could
be 30').
I usually use 10' FW cables without any problem. The PGR camera
came
with a 15' foot FW cable with clamp style ferrite beads for EM
noise
suppression and they work fine too.
In practice I've used a FireWire Hub with a 10' and 15' cable and
also had no problem either.
HTH..

Is it OK to use a longer firewire cable than came with my Fire-i?
It
is a 6' cable. What is the max length acceptable? A longer
cable
would help in my situation.
