  • Utilizing an IEEE 1394 PHY and optical transceiver, the FireNEX™800 is capable of sending IEEE 1394 signals across a optical fiber cable up to 500 meters in length. The FireNEX™800 Repeater is contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it inobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.

    The FireNEX™800 will work with 1394b at speeds of 800, 400, 200 and 100 Mbps, and with 1394a at speeds of 400, 200 and 100 Mbps. The FireNEX™ 800 needs OM1 LC/LC 62.5/125 um optical cable.

    Features

    • Compliant with both IEEE1394b and IEEE1394a specifications
    • Data transfer rate at 100/200/400/800 Mbps
    • Reach up to 500 meters with Multimode Fiber and 2,000 meters with Single Mode Fiber
    • Two 9-pin IEEE1394b bilingual copper ports
    • One standard LC optical port
    • FCC and CE Certified
    • RoHS Certified
    • Passed MIL-STD-883, low temperature cycling test (-45%C to +75%C) for harsh environment applications
    • Q: What is the length that the FireNEX™-800 can support?
    • A: The FireNEX™-800 will support a length of 500 meters with Multi Mode Fiber cable (MMF) with 50/125 mm or 62.5/125 mm. The FireNEX™-800 has a single mode version (FireNEX™800-SX), which can reach a longer distance with a single mode fiber (SMF) cable.
    • Q: What is the maximum speed of the FireNEX™-800?
    • A: The FireNEX™-800 can support up to the maximum speed of 800 Mbps. The FireNEX™800TM can also operate at lower speeds, such as 400 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 100 Mbps.
    • Q: Can the FireNEX™-800 itself be a FireWire repeater?
    • A: Yes, the FireNEX™-800 can be used as a two-port FireWire repeater alone, repeating through the two copper ports.
    • Q: Do I have to use two FireNEX™-800 repeaters to make it work?
    • A: Yes, a pair of FireNEX™-800 is needed for the fiber extension. Both FireNEX™-800 units can act as either the transceiver or the receiver.
    • Q: Which FireNEX™-800 connects to the host system and which FireNEX™-800 connects to the devices?
    • A: The host system and the devices can be connected to either FireNEX™-800 unit.
    • Q: Is there a driver for the FireNEX™-800 ?
    • A: No, operating systems such as Windows 98 SE, Mac OS 9, and later versions already come with IEEE1394 support.
    • Q: Where can the RoHS Certificate for FireNEX™-800 be found?
    • A: FireNEX™-800 Rohs Certifcation can be found in Newnex's FireNEX™ Repeaters Certifcate.
