long firewire 800 to 400 cables???

[The Tasmanian]

Does anyone know where one can get a long firewire 800 to 400 cable - like 3 - 5 meters long?
They don't seem to exist anywhere.

Or is there such thing as a firewire 800 to 800 joiner - to join 2 cables together?
If anyone has any ideas that would be much appreciated.

I know Gefen http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dcablelist.jsp ... e=firewire do long firewire cables and also repeaters http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=1329.

EDIT - firewire 800 repeaters / extenders here http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproductlistin ... e=firewire

Not sure if there's anyone doing a local version that's better / cheaper (expensive cable runs).

Thanks Dave -
I sorted it found a long 800 to 800 cable and a short apple 800 to 400 adapter.
Cheers

Stay away from Geffen gear if you can. It really is cheap junk. I have worked at facilities that started out using their gear (DVI extenders specifically) and we get random screen blackouts all day. We now use DVI to HDMI, DVI to SDI/BNC or even DVI to USB.

If you need to extend/convert FW400/800...
