Getting Started 2.1 Quick Start This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.
Overview 3 Overview The high quality Kramer TOOLS™ TP-330FW FireWire Range Extender/HUB is a truly unique product that lets you extend the standard 4.5m (13.5ft) FireWire range to 80m (262ft) with speeds of up to 400Mbps (see Figure 2) using common, inexpensive TP cable.
Overview 3.2 About the Power Connect™ Feature The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the devices are within 50m (164ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 50m on standard CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used 1. 3.
