The FireWire Repeater 400 from Gefen is a repeater that allows you to increase the distance between your computer and a FireWire device by up to 33' (10 m). With one repeater, you can place a device up to 66' (20 m) from a computer. Repeaters can be daisy-chained for distances of up to 250' (76 m). The repeater is powered by a 6-Pin FireWire-400 port on your computer, although an optional AC adapter can be connected when a computer cannot provide enough power. This is a great way to extend the distance between your FireWire device and computer. This is a great option for anyone who needs to increase the length between their computer and FireWire-400 peripheral device.
Extended FireWire Range
The repeater allows you to increase the maximum distance of FireWire-400 connections from 33' (10 m) to 66' (20 m). You'll even be able to cascade several repeaters together to achieve maximum ranges of up to 250' (76 m).
Bus Powered
The repeater is powered by your computer's FireWire-400 bus through a 6-Pin connection. If power is not available from the computer, an optional AC adapter can be connected.
