Belkin 6-Port FireWire-400 Hub (Silver)
The 6-Port FireWire-400 Hub from Belkin turns one FireWire-400 port on your computer system into six. This is a great choice for users who are tired of constantly swapping out cables to connect their multiple FireWire devices. This integrated solution is ideal for anyone who needs to expand their computer's FireWire capabilities.
- Expandability
- The hub allows you to expand your FireWire connections. Users often need to connect external drives, digital video cameras and other external devices to their computer via FireWire connections. Adding a hub will allow you to quickly make these connections without constantly swapping cables.
- Hot Swappable
- FireWire devices are often hot swappable. This hub fully supports that capability, allowing you to connect and disconnect devices without powering down your computer.
- FireWire Repeater
- The hub also acts as a FireWire repeater. This lets you repeat a FireWire signal over a cable, allowing you to place a FireWire device up to 30' from your computer using 2 15' cables.
- Self Powered
- An AC adapter is included to power the hub, allowing you to provide ample power to your external devices when they are connected to your computer.

I needed to network computers and hard drives and there are not too many Firewire Hubs left out there. I was extremely grateful that they still understand customer needs and serve their requests.

Comments about Belkin 6-Port FireWire-400 Hub (Silver):
With the Digital World as it is today, with many wires, one can feel tie up. In the fire wire world
it can become most stressful, with so many Fire Wire devices and not enough ports on computers. I, no longer need to turn off a device to connect another,
thanks to Belkin 6-Port FireWire 400 Hub silver, which is also powered. Now I can power up without having to switch, switch, switch.

Comments about Belkin 6-Port FireWire-400 Hub (Silver):
This product is great if you need more 6 pin ports but if you at all worried about losing data unexpectedly, this product isnt for you. If you bump the table, slightly nudge the device, add any other plugs to your computer, the device will eject all connected ports. For the brand and price, you get what you pay for. With all that said, it has helped me when needing to connect multiple drives with high transfer speeds.

Comments about Belkin 6-Port FireWire-400 Hub (Silver):
I didn't realize until after I bought this that I could string firewire drives together so essentially doing the same thing, however, I like this better! I have even more ports available with the option to string some drives still and I feel like I can keep my cords more organized. It is a great little tool! It is lightweight and feels a bit cheap, but it works great!
