Customer Reviews

New hard-to-find cable for new Aluminum iMacs
This cable was not to be found at local office supply stores (even though it appears on their websites), electronics retailers, etc.

I recommend this cable when specifically used to transfer data on Apple Macintosh iMac computers (newer models only) with MIGRATION ASSISTANT software as provided by Apple as part of their Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system. I tried using ethernet/wireless and had poor results. Best results were obtained using this cable and directly connecting the two computers.

It works, its thick, its Silver not white, it slips out with not much effort
I bought this because I have a MacPro with the Firewire 800 port. The cable is clear showing the silver braided shielding. It works for the several months I've had it. I've used the cable alone with a portable drive and with an external drive. I have used it with a firewire hub. I have had no problems with this cable except it seems to easily get knocked out of the port. It does click in, but it wiggles loose. I don't know if the cable should have a tighter fit or if it has to do with the depth of the port itself. I only have one of these cables so I have nothing to compare it to. If you look at the length of a usb connector and the firewire 800 connector you'll see the firewire it shorter.

Worked well
This cable worked perfectly to migrate data from an older Mac to my new one. They did send a black cable instead of a white (as pictured), but this wasn't an issue for me since I don't need it out all the time. However if you're planning to have it connected all the time, you might want to check on the color before you order.
