The Gefen Firewire 800 Extender Plus

This solution uses a sender and receiver system to instantly send your data from your source to your extended Firewire device. It boasts a remarkable transfer rate of up to 980 Mbps and easily bridges distances up to 1640 feet (500 me- ters). This gives you the freedom to operate your computer based equipment and video cameras as if they were connected locally with no signal degradation or time lag. Receiving units have a second pair of fiber connectors to daisy chain multiple Receiving units for extreme distances.

How It Works

Simply connect your computer to the Firewire Extender 800 sender unit with the supplied cable. Connect your extended device to the receiver unit - up to 1640 feet away. One 2-strand LC-LC fiber optic cable, available in several lengths from Gefen, connect sender (computer) to receiver (Firewire device).
