IPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable

The iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable, also marketed as Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable, is an adapter cable that allows older iPads, iPhones, and iPods with 30-pin dock connectors to be charged and synced through a FireWire connection.

History
The 30-pin dock connector was introduced with the 3rd-generation iPod in 2003. An iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable was available for Windows users. As the 30-pin connector was adopted by Apple's other mobile devices, with the exception of the iPod shuffle series, Apple dropped FireWire and only retained support for USB through the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable.
