Gefen FireWire Repeater

3 port IEEE 1394a PHY Hub

The Gefen FireWire Repeater can be used to double the distance of any FireWire cable, allowing greater distance between devices.  The FW-141 design features the Texas Instruments PHY chipset, ensuring that your digital transmissions are error-free and bit-perfect.

The FW-141 supports the latest 6pin FireWire peripherals.  It complies with IEEE 1394a standards for reliable throughput at 100, 200, and 400 Mbps transfer rates.  It works with 6/6  pin cables (or with 4/6 pin cables with the optional power supply) and is suitable for HDTV, DVD, A/V receivers, PC or Mac computers, or any FireWire-enabled equipment.

The compact design uses a shielded plastic case, which can be easily mounted with the included double-sided adhesive tape.

FireWire is also known as i.Link, iLink, IEEE.1394.a.
