For this reason I like the following cables with mere 3 mm outer diameter, hence less weight and stiffness pulling on the plug: http://www.partsdata.co.uk/firewire-cables-ieee-1394-accessories/firewire-400-cables-adapters/firewire-cable-46-white-flexible/ (This vendor is based in Germany. Shipping costs to Scandinavia seem to be quite high if all you need is just one cable.) Sony, who originally came up with the 4-pin plug, used to make cables which were almost as thin but even more flexible. Maybe you can find a used Sony cable for cheap. About half a year ago I got 4 mm thin and still quite flexible cables via this page: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00L8ZRQ0S But one can never be sure what cable material one gets when buying noname. The cables which I received from there have a different mold of the plug casings than the cable on the amazon photo. -- Stefan Richter -=====-===== -=-- -=--= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ |
