Another great product from belkin. 3 feet is shorter than you think it will be.

Yes, cables aren't very exciting.. and i think i'm at a rare case where i can truly say these cables make a difference. I have an extremely old apple laptop (the titanium G4.. yes...) and the HD failed on me a while ago. given that it's still a solid laptop in addition to the desktop i still have, i decided to get a firewire portable external and boot the laptop from the external HD. I got a Lacie external and everything worked well for about a year, then my computer started having problems reading the external. At the beginning i cursed out Lacie for making pricey HDs with wobbly connection (i thought that was the problem, cable not connection well), until I thought, why not, lets try a different cable. So i tried it out with the belkin cable that I use for another external for my Desktop, and guess what, it worked like a charm. I guess this is a unique situation where a regular consumer would experience the difference a good grade cable vs. a cable that came free with the ex. HD. but hey, now i'm a believer.

Don't get ripped off by buying an over-priced cable. This one was priced right, and is high quality.
