Default Firewire cable problem

Hello all,

I've been using a 10ft firewire cable with my Digi 002 after realizing my 15 footer was the culprit for my recent problems. However, I need a longer cord for my setup, so I ordered a 4.5 meter cord from iMicro. This is the max length that Digi recommends using. But now I'm getting random 6088 error messages that I don't get when using the 10 footer. So to make a long story short, I need a 14 footer (or at least 13ft) that I can rely on instead of spending money on hit-or-miss cables.

Can anyone recommend any brands in particular that you know has a stable, working 14ft connection? Thanks in advance.

Check out cablestogo.com
That's where I bought my 14 footers and they all seem to work fine.
