Home Forums FineTunedMac Community Lounge Can't locate 25 foot cable Firewire 800 both ends

I realize that purchasing advice is not usually sought here, but I've tried hard without success. What I need is a 25 foot cable with Firewire 800 on both ends to connect two Macs. I've tried Other World Computing and they don't have one. I've browsed a few other placed without success. By any chance, does someone here know of a vendor that might have such a cable on hand? Advice would be deeply appreciated.

I can't vouch for this, and don't even know if its what you want but

Unibrain firewire cables do not only achieve a very controlled 110 Ohm impedance but also provide high performance for skew, attenuation and crosstalk. These latest features were not prerequisites when the first IEEE-1394/1395 specification was issued, at the time limiting the maximum cable length to 4.5 meters. Therefore we can now secure safe operation of our Firewire cable lengths up to 10 meters!

I went to Industrial Component's web page and read the specs. It appears that you hit the nail on the head! Thank you.

Of course, I always remember the advice I received from the old salt programmer I used to use until he died from a massive heart attack. He said, "You're never more thrilled about a piece of equipment than you are on the day you order it."

Again, thank you. I really appreciate it.

You're welcome and now let's hope that it actually works!
