FireWire 800 Facts

•FireWire 800 supports speeds up to 800 Mb/sec, twice as fast as FireWire 400

•If your computer does not have built-in FireWire 800, you'll need a PCI card to achieve a true FireWire 800 connection

•Most 800 ports are Bi-Lingual, which means they speak both FireWire 400 and FireWire 800

•If you connect a 400 port to an 800 port, you will be running at 400 speed maximum

•FireWire is forward-compatible and back-compatible, but the bus always runs at the speed of the slowest link

•Beta cables are used to connect 800 ports to 800 ports

•Bi-Lingual cables are available to connect 400 ports to 800 ports

•Bi-Lingual cables have a 9-pin Bi- Lingual connector at one end a 4- pin or 6-pin FireWire 400 connector at the other end
