FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 devices use different connectors

tween the two device speeds.

FireWire 400 connectors
FireWire 400 devices typically have two types of connector: 4-pin and 6-pin.
The small 4-pin FireWire 400 connector is common on digital camcorders
and Windows notebook computers. The 6-pin connector is more common
with hard drives and audio devices; the two extra pins allow the device to be
bus powered (UAD-2 Satellite cannot be powered by the FireWire bus).
UAD-2 Satellite has one 6-pin FireWire 400 port.
FireWire 800 connector
FireWire 800 devices use a 9-pin connector. 9-pin to 6-pin FireWire adapter
cables are available to connect FireWire 800 devices to a FireWire 400 bus
(with reduced bandwidth). See
more information.
UAD-2 Satellite has two FireWire 800 ports to facilitate easy daisy-chaining
with other FireWire devices.
FireWire devices can be connected to a central hub, such as a computer with
Hubs and Chains
multiple FireWire ports or a peripheral FireWire hub
