The 100' 2 x LC Fiber Optic Cable & EXT-FW-1394BP100B Firewire 800 Extender Plus Set from Gefen allows you to remotely access your Firewire devices such as Firewire hard drives and Firewire cameras as if they are connected locally, without any signal degradation or time lag. This Firewire 800 Extender Plus gives you standard 500-m signal relay at a blistering 800 Mb/s along with the ability to network ("daisy chain") transceivers to get long total extension. Firewire data relay networks of up to 18mi can be created in this way.
This Firewire Extender 800 Sender device connects to your computer or other master Firewire device at your work area. The first fiber optic cable (up to 500m) runs from the Firewire Extender Sender to a Firewire 800 Receiver. If a greater extension is desired, this receiver can act as a sender and be connected to its own next receiver, terminating when the desired distance is reached. Up to 63 receivers may be connected in this kind of "daisy chain" topology to create very long Firewire 400/800 signal extensions. Each Fiber Optic Cable measures 100' (30.48m) in length.
