| 100m and 100Mbps FireWire over Cat5! The Newnex FireNEX-CAT5 is an IEEE1394b compliant repeater for long distance connection. The FireNEX-CAT5 is capable of sending IEEE1394 signals across a regular Cat5 cable at a data rate of 100 Mbps up to 100 meters in length! The FireNEX-CAT5 is contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it unobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.
The real power is in its connection through a regular Cat5, which has been widely used in the Ethernet world. Setting up the FireNEX-CAT5 is quite simple. Using a Cat5 twisted pair cable for connection is without confusion or difficulty. It takes only minutes to setup, and there is no configuration necessary, like all IEEE1394 compliant hardware. The FireNEX-CAT5 will work for both 1394b and 1394a signals at speeds up to 100 Mbps.
A FireNEX-CAT5 SET includes two FireNEX-CAT5 repeaters, our special Qu-CAT adapter and a manual. Whenever you purchase 2 FireNEX repeaters we consider it a set. Cat5 cable and FireWire cables are not included. The Newnex FireNEX-CAT5 comes with one-year manufacturer warranty.
An optional DC power source may be connected to the unit if bus power is not avialiable. NTC Distributing sells this compatiable power supply: FIRENEX-POWER
