I needed a 4 PIN to 4 PIN Firewire cable so I first checked with Office Max. They informed me they had just what I needed for $29.99. So, I checked online and found this item VERY reasonably priced with reasonable shipping cost, too. My total cost was under $3. Incredible. The cable works perfectly. I use it to convert my 8 mm tapes to DVD. You can't get a better deal!
