About this product
The Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter, model MD464ZM/A, provides connectivity between modern Apple devices with Thunderbolt ports and legacy FireWire 1394 devices. This white, round cable features a Mini DisplayPort Male connector on one end and options for FireWire 1394a 4-Pin Male or FireWire 1394b 9-Pin Female on the other. It's a powered, portable adapter, measuring 6 feet in length, facilitating a 1:1 connection for compatible Apple systems.
Our take
For those with newer Apple hardware needing to connect to older FireWire devices, this Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter is pretty essential. It's a genuine Apple product, offering a 6-foot round cable with a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt compatible) on one end and both 4-pin and 9-pin FireWire options on the other. It's powered and designed for portable use, which is great for mobile setups. The price is typical for an official Apple accessory, but it effectively bridges the gap between older and newer tech, which is its main appeal. It’s a specialized adapter, but a necessary one for many creative professionals.
