Thank you for purchasing the IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub with Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI) compliance! Please read this manual thoroughly prior to installing. This will prevent damage to the IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub and/or connected devices, and enable their efficient functioning. The IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub with OHCI compliance operates on all computer platforms, including Windows® 98 PC and Macintosh® OS 8.6 or higher.
The Belkin IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub is a full-featured hub that provides the user with four peer-to-peer ports. It supports 400Mbps throughput from DV camcorder, storage devices, scanners, and printers. By late 2000, it will operate with television displays and audio/video devices as well.
The IEEE 1394/FireWire 4-Port Hub allows users to attach computer peripherals and OHCI compliant devices to computers or to each other. And, all devices are hot-swappable, meaning that the user does not have to shut down the program or computer to attach or remove devices on the FireWire chain.
The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub can be either Bus- or self- powered. The self-powered feature allows for daisy-chaining (connection) of additional devices or hubs. To extend the length of the FireWire Bus, just add more hubs. Connect up to 63 devices on the Bus. When connected with 6-pin connectors, devices can receive Bus power from the host or power supply.
The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub includes four LEDs and a 1.8m (6 ft.) FireWire Cable.
