- FireWire 400 uses 6 wires in 3 twisted pairs with one outer shield
- FireWire 800 adds individual shields to each twisted pair for better isolation and impedance control

What can a 6 wire firewire cable do that a 4 wire firewire can't do?
The 6 wire FireWire 400 cable includes 2 wires that supply 30VDC power to the device that are left out in the 4 wire cable to permit use of a smaller connector.

What are the merits of Firewire 800 vs 400?
Firewire 800 has twice the bandwidth of the Firewire 400.The number is the throughput in Megabits.
A FireWire port previously called an IEEE 1394 port is?

What are Firewire Connections?
Firewire connections are connections for Firewire devices to connect to a computer or some other Firewire device. They are often found on digital video cameras and high level digital audio equipment.
Order the following ports according to speed Firewire eSATA USB?
eSATA is faster than FireWire and firewire is faster than USB.
What is a 1394 connection in laptop?
"1394" refers to the number of the IEEE standard created for "Firewire", a high speed serial wired communications protocol developed by Apple Computer to transfer digital data over short distances, such as between computers and external hard disks. Serial means that the signal is carried over a single pair of wires known as a twisted pair, using low voltage differential signaling, a method that supports both high speed and good noise immunity. Additional wires carry ground and power. Prior systems used parallel wiring with 8 or more wires carrying a byte at a time, but at lower bit rates. The cables were bulky and expensive, hence the desire for a serial standard. The original standard, Firewire 400, supported 400 Mbps, a later version, Firewire 800, 800 Mbps (using additional wires, but still many fewer than parallel interfaces). Similar to USB 2.0, Firewire is generally faster, and supports daisy chaining and hot swapping. Additional information may be found at HowStuffWorks.com or Wikipedia under "Firewire".
