The Newnex FireNEX800SX optical repeater is the world's first 1394b optical repeater! Utilizing an IEEE1394 PHY and optical transceiver, the FireNEX800SX is capable of sending IEEE1394 signals across a single mode optical fiber cable. The FireNEX800SX 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 Newnex FireNEX800SX can also be used as a standard IEEE1394b repeater, extending your signal an additional 4.5 meters. The real power, however, is in its optical connection. Setting up the FireNEX800SX is quite simple. Using a LC optical connector, plugging in the optical connection is without confusion or difficulty. It takes only minutes to setup, and there is no configuration necessary, like all IEEE1394 compliant hardware. The FireNEX800SX will work with 1394b at speeds of 800, 400, 200 and 100 Mbps, and with 1394a at speeds of 400, 200 and 100 Mbps.
A FireNEX800SX SET is two FireNEX800SX optical repeaters, and one 120VAC/12VDC DC power adapters and a manual. Whenever you purchase 2 FireNEX800SX repeaters we consider it a set. Optical cable and FireWire cables not included. The Newnex FireNEX800SX comes with one-year manufacturer warranty.
Note: The power adapter provided by Newnex is UL certified. For countries that need certifications for power other than UL, please purchase the similar power adapter with the special power certification from the local stores.

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 (FireNEX800-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 FireNEX800TM 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.
