The Phoenix Gold FireWire Cable is a great cable for any amount of money! It has gold connectors as described. It was a snug fit on the Mini end, but that is good and prevents the cable from falling out easily. The cable has a good woven shielding that you can easily see through the clear plastic, and it also has a ferrite bead to further increase it's signal quality.
One thing to note when using a FireWire device on a computer that has been upgraded to Windows 7 or a device that was manufactured before Windows 7 (and hasn't explicitly upgraded its drivers to Windows 7 yet). Go to Start Menu-->Contol Panel-->Device Manager. Expand the IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers and check to see that it says (Legacy). If it does not, double click on the entry and click the Driver tab. Click "Update Driver..." and "Browse My computer for Driver Software." Then click "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer." Select the driver that ends with (Legacy)and click next to install the driver.
Failure to install the Legacy driver with older equipment will cause all sorts of trouble (including hard Blue Screen Crashes) that will have nothing to do with the FireWire Cable regardless of what you might otherwise be led to believe by your very frustrating experience.
Again, this is a great cable and worth more than many cables that cost much more!
These cables have not had any issues. the 2 meter length seems a little long, that is until you try having the firewire plug on the back of a desktop machine on the floor and your firewire device on the desk on the opposite side from the computer. Also, my cam uses the 4 port end and the card in my machine is 6 port, so these cables work out very nicely. I just leave one plugged into my desktop and the other I carry with my macbook (has its own pcmcia firewire card). makes life convenient all the way around. Not a bad price either (for less than a buck each).
Bought this to connect my panasonic camcorder to my mac. Works great. Great price. I initially checked out the local stores and they wanted to charge quite a bit for the same cable.
I was worried that a cable this inexpensive might not work with my macbook and video camera, but it does perfectly. As soon as I got it, I hooked up my Canon mini dv video camera to my Macbook and imovie recognized it right away. What a great deal!

I did receive a functioning Firewire cable but it did not have gold plated tips. Seller refunded $1...
