FireWire 800 (FireWire 1394b) is the new version of the popular FireWire interface which doubles the throughput of the original IEEE-1394a FireWire interface from 400Mbps to 800Mbps! "Bilingual" FireWire cables allow you to connect older FireWire 400 devices to newer FireWire 800 ports.
Technical Details
- Twisted pair construction and triple shielding reduces cross talk and maximizes data transfer rate
- Fast data transfers, rated up to 800Mbps (limited by device/port speed)
- Meet FireWire 800 and 1394b specifications
- Plug-and-Play, hot swap compatible, allows connection and disconnection of FireWire devices without shutting down computer
- "Bilingual" FireWire cables allow you to connect older FireWire 400 devices to newer FireWire 800 ports.
