Highlights
Quality
The wire is thin but sturdy, and the port heads swivel easily without tear.
The build quality is pretty good and it works fine.
The firewire to thunderbolt adapter apple released only handled 6 pin firewire and my onyx is 9 pin.
My son suggested this item and it now only takes about 5 minutes to back -up my system after the initial back-up.
Price
99 plus tax and was the only one apple carried.
They had one wire left and it was $34.

Is packaged within apple/mac packaging, but works just fine in gnu/linux!
Competitiveness
This definitely meets my needs for a much lower cost than many other "name" brand cables.
Grass valley recommends a belkin cable over other brands so i decided on the belkin even though a bit more expensive.
A bit off white compared to the mac 800 to thunderbolt adapter that it connects to.
