Firewire Cables

So-called "FireWire" is actually Apple's own name for the IEEE 1394 High-Speed Serial Bus, which was used as a high-speed data / digital audio connection standard between 1997 - 2012. Sony called their implementation the i.LINK, and although both versions have been largely replaced by the more-common USB, there are still some pro audio and high-end devices that utilise FireWire, most notably because it has a higher data transfer rate than USB 2.0, but not quite as high as USB 3.0.
