Firewire Cables and "Boosters" Help

[Snook]

I have heard several people talking about fire wire cables and Booster to give them more length when shooting in studio.
Can anybody direct me to a page on B&H where they sell them? Or any other website please.
The longest cable I have found is 13ft through B&H.
Can anybody give a brief description as to what I need. Or any site that explains it in more detail to make that length longer.
Shooting with a 1DsMII by the way.
Thank you

Take a look at this cable:  http://www.datapro.net/products/firewire-a...-extension.html  They claim long lengths for studio use.

I use one of http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Cables/...5108005.htm?p=1these with Capture One Pro and my 5D, takes about 10 seconds to receive a RAW file once shot, works effortlessly although it ain't firewire, not to sure if you can find them on ebay?

EK,

The only cable to use is a Granite Digital Cable.  Flawless performance and as important as the digital back you buy if you're transferring files.

Their 30ft cables work with out a booster.  But I woud get two 16 footers and a booster in the middle for Canon.  With Phase I have no problem using a 30 ft cable to a tower plugged into a seperate PCI card.  On a laptop I have never used anything longer than their 16 footer with both Canon and Phase and have never had problems.
