    Digital cable ID help please?

    Can anyone identify this cable please? Its from a digital camera ( medical ) I expect it might be specific to the camera but you never know.
    Its hard wired into the camera end and this goes into a long extension cable then into a image capture PC, I don't what the end looks like at the PC end.
    Ive tried Google images but can find it.
    Thanks.


    Cheers..

    I think it could be Firewire. Or more likely, a slow worm.

    That’s FireWire 400
    Sony called it something else like IEE4664 or similar.
    Some PC’s do not power the pins but macs sent power over the FireWire too. This is how digital backs were tethered to laptops a few years back. There is also FireWire 800 which is square and a faster connection.

    So a PC even if it has FW might not power up a FW external drive that doesn’t have a separate power socket

    Thanks for your help gents, I think the consensus is Firewire

    Not at the moment, its a Zeiss medical Colposcope that connects to a Storz stack system for image capture in a Outpatient department, I was just trying to find out if my equivalent Colposcope will connect easily to the customers existing set up. ( I don't think it will, the outputs are very different, I need to check what inputs are on the stack system )

    FireWire 400 is very dated and not something I recall seeing on many medical stacks systems.

    What connections do you have on your colposcope and what models are on the Zeiss stack?

    I will be finding out Friday, the connections on our Colposcope are even more dated I fear, we are getting a new range next year but it doesn't help me with this instance.

    It’s always fun mixing equipment of different ages. We’ve just had to go out and spend a chunk of money as a new surgical robot uses a higher hdmi standard than the equipment it was connecting to.
