The world's first FireWire repeater using Cat 5 cabling that supports FULL
FireWire 400 (1394a) speeds!
The Newnex FireNEX-CAT5 is an IEEE1394a/b compliant repeater for long distance
connections. Capable of sending IEEE1394 signals across a regular Cat5e or Cat6 cables at a data rate of 400 Mbps
(1394a) up to 85 meters in length! The FireNEX-CAT5 S400 is contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it unobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.
Setting up the FireNEX-CAT5 is easy! It only takes minutes, and like all IEEE1394 compliant
hardware... there is no configuration necessary! Just connect a Cat5e twisted pair cable
between the two units, connect your FireWire devices and power up! The FireNEX-CAT5 S400
is compatible with both 1394a (FireWire 400) and 1394b (FireWire 800) signals at speeds up to 400 Mbps.
Innovative design allows the units to be bus
powered (from the connected equipment). Plus, a built in DC power jack lets you connect
the optional power
supply when connecting to devices that do not supply power through the FireWire
interface (power supply sold below). One-year manufacturers warranty.
