FireWire® Cable
There are two types of FireWire connectors:
•6-pin connectors supply Data and Strobe, as well as Bus Power
•4-pin connectors supply Data and Strobe to the Bus
•The quad-shielded cable (included) provides transport speeds of 100/200/400Mbps
•The supplied cable is 1.8m (6 ft.) in length
Power Mode Setting
The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub can operate either with or without the included AC/DC adapter. When used in Bus- powered mode without the AC/DC adapter, the hub will supply each device attached to it a maximum of +5V, 500mA DC power. This should be sufficient for most low-powered devices. In self-powered mode using the AC/DC adapter, the FireWire 4-Port Hub provides a maximum of DC +5V – 1.25A to each port, allowing connections with other hubs and extensions of the cable length by repeating or amplifying the signal to other devices on the FireWire or IEEE 1394 Bus.
