The IEEE 1394 specification limits a single FireWire cable to 16 feet (5
meters), but you need to connect your FireWire cable peripherals over a longer
distance. No problem.
With this FireWire repeater cable, you can now extend your
current cable another 5 meters! Ideal for any situation where your FireWire
device needs to be placed some distance from your computer.
Works like any other extension cable: just plug the cable into the 6 pin FireWire port on your computer or hub and plug the
FireWire device into the other end.
This FireWire repeater cable is compatible with 1394-1994 standards and
is fully interoperable with the FireWire implementation of the standard. Data
transfer rates of up to 400Mbps are supported and you can use up to 5
active extension cables to extend the distance of your cable up to an additional
25 meters!
