My Male firewire plug has a rounded edge on one side. I cant see that on the picture??

The rounded edge on your cable is Firewire 400 (also known as 1394a) with a 6-pin connector. This adapter is for 9-pin Firewire 800 (also known as 1394b), which is backwards compatible, but you'll need a second (less expensive) adapter.

Can i connect a thunderbolt drive to the firewire 800 port on my macbook pro?

No, it doesn't work that way. It's strictly for connecting firewire 800 hard drive to thunderbolt port on your Mac.

would it work for the firewire 1394b?

Yes. It's FireWire 800 (1394b) with square/rectangular 9pin female connection to male thunderbolt connection.

Can this be used to connect a firewire external hard drive to the computer's thunderbolt port for time machine backups?

It depends on whether the end of your cable from your external hard drive matches the FireWire end.

would this work with apogee duet FireWire interface?

This has a FW800 connector on one end. The interface probably has FW400. So you would need a 400 to 800 adapter in between. Or perhaps Apple makes a FW400 to TB adapter.

what is the model no. of this adaptor? thank you

MD464LL/A As stated in the “Product Information” section.

Would a 4 pin to 9 pin cable work with this adapter to capture from a DV camera to Thunderbolt iMac?

Not sure, as recording studio equipment is being used.

Does this work on a new iMac with Thunderbolt 3?

No. It is FireWire 800 to Thunderbolt2. Thunderbolt 3 (usb c type) came out in 2015. Thunderbolt 1 and 2 are mini display type plugs.
