Cisco's GigaStack cable uses connectors that visually look physically identical to a 6-pin FireWire connector with the addition of a special gasket-like ring on the outside that appears to help it mate with the socket and probably provides better EMI shielding.

1,2 1,2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6

Cisco states that you should not interchange a GigaStack and FireWire cable.One of the reasons is the pinout of the cable itself. Pins 1 and 2 are shorted to each other electrically. This probably provide a way for the GigaStack GBIC to identify a real GigaStack cable versus a FireWire cable.

Otherwise, the pinout of the cable appears identical to a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable by testing an actual cable.

"iLink" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
"Firewire" is a trademark of Apple Corporation.


2 - What is iLink? What does it have to do with PS2?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

iLink is a trademark of the Sony Corporation. It refers to the standard
defined by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
as IEEE-1394. You may also know this standard as FireWire, which is a
trademark of Apple Corporation. IEEE-1394 is one of the fastest methods
of external data transfer today, capable of 400 Mbps. I will refer to
the IEEE-1394 standard as "1394" or "iLink" in this document.

On the PS2, the iLink port is labeled by the "S400" and the arrow. (It's
next to the USB ports on the front of the console.) As you can tell by
looking in the port, this is a 4-pin 1394 port.

Currently the iLink is solely for the setup of a multiplayer network
involving multiple PS2 consoles. In other words, you can connect one
console (with TV and everything else one player alone would need to
play a certain game) to other PS2 systems (each with everything one
player alone would need to play that game) and play with or against other
plyers. It can be used for games such as Armored Core 2, Unreal
Tournament, Gran Turismo 3, and a few others not listed.

Neither SCEA nor Sony makes first-party iLink peripherals for PS2.

USB-C kind of reminds me of the cable from ghost in the shell cause it's tiny and nondescript and plugs into anything (or anyone!)
