| The IEEE 1394 FireWire HUB is a fast and easy way to increase the number of FireWire devices that can be connected to your computer. The IEEE 1394 Repeater has a built-in physical layer chip allowing you to connect one Repeater to another Repeater; up to 236 feet (72m) from the original FireWire host system. The IEEE 1394 FireWire Repeater has six 1394 FireWire cable ports to give even more flexibility to your networked chain of FireWire appliances. Extend the length between devices by joining your IEEE 1394 FireWire cables with the IEEE 1394 FireWire Hub/Repeater formaximum flexibility in your network. Line your devices up on separate branches of the hub, so devices can be removed from the chain without disturbing other devices. The IEEE 1394 FireWire hub is an independent system, therefore, no driver or software is needed and it is compatible with PCs, iMacs®, or G4s®. The IEEE 1394 FireWire hub also provides new services such as real time I/O and live connect/disconnect capability for new high-speed devices like external FireWire drive cases, scanners and cameras. These hubs are now available to take advantage of the 400 Mbps of potential bandwidth that FireWire offers. Available in tangerine, strawberry, grape, blueberry, lime, ivory and black. |
