AG-HVX200 camera we suggest CBLA-0151-01LF (48″ 6pin-4pin90). This is the cable that comes with the FS-100. Any FireWire cable can be used. A high quality and good shielding cable is recommended for best performance of data throughput. The 4-pin 1394 connectors on cameras are often easily damaged when in a mobile environment. Positioning of the cable and orientation of the connector on the cable is important to minimal strain on the cable. Here are some tips. a) Select the best length appropriate to the positioning of the FS-100 and the camera. b) Choose the best orientation of the connector. FireWire cables can have a 90 degree right angle connector or straight angle connector. c) Some have added a FireWire “6-Pin female to 4-Pin male Adapter” to connect to the camera side. This way the 4 to 6 pin cable can be more permanently connected.
