Finding very long IEEE 1394-compliant cables

Zifnab

All right, H/A, I need you to help me find something. I'm looking for an IEEE 1394-compliant cable, 6-pin to 6-pin, that is between 30 and 35 feet long. It needs to be at least 30 to fit between the devices, but the Audiowire spec we're working with doesn't allow runs over 35ft. I'm having trouble finding anything that's not either a 15 foot Firewire cable or a 36 foot IEEE 1394 network cable, and it can't be either of those sizes.

Anyone know where I can get something like this?

Remember that once you go over 15 ft (4.5 meters), you're past the standard firewire cable length. You'll notice that the page Legoman05 points you to specifically says transfer rates of 200 Mbps, rather than the standard 400.
Just a warning. You might have already known this if you're asking for that kind of distance, but this is why it's hard to find anything longer than 15 feet.

Well, yeah, but we're not working with actual Firewire transfers anyhow. It's a proprietary protocol made by MOTU called Audiowire that uses the Firewire cable, but that's about it. We bought a MOTU interface that is specifically designed for runs up to (but not exceeding) 35ft because we need it to be that long, so it'd better be able to work properly over those distances.

BTW, thanks a lot, Legoman. That's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Little pricier than I expected, but I guess you have to deal with that sometimes..

Might take a look at newegg.com; they seemed to have a large assortment of cables last I checked.

EDIT: Hell, guess they don't have anything that long.
