Although this cable works fine, a neater solution is to buy a powered firewire hub, and use a 6pin cable to power the camera from the hub.
The biggest advantage of this is that you can have a much longer lead from the cam to the hub, and hub to the PC as the hub acts as a repeater.
Starstuff sell a powered hub that will do the job for about $80, and you can in theory use a cable right up to 4.5m long if you have to.
The cable with the Y adapter is $50, plus you need a power supply as well, plus the right plug on the end of the adapter.
