The standard gauge for FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, is typically 6.5 mm for the 1394a and 9.5 mm for the 1394b versions. These connectors are designed for high-speed data transfer between devices like computers and external hard drives. FireWire supports data rates of up to 400 Mbps for 1394a and up to 800 Mbps for 1394b, making it a popular choice for video and audio equipment. However, it's worth noting that FireWire has largely been supplanted by USB and Thunderbolt technologies in recent years.

What is FireWire?

A technology similar to USB: It comes in two versions... Firewire 400 (IE1394a) 400 MB/second and Firewire 800 (IE1394b) 800 MB/Second Firewire is used mainly for transferring large amounts of data, such as digital video and/or sound. Firewire is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for music recording and production, particularly Firewire800.
