Introduction 1 Introduction Welcome to Kramer Electronics (since 1981): a world of unique, creative and affordable solutions to the infinite range of problems that confront the video, audio and presentation professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better! Our 350-plus different models now appear in 8 Groups1, which are clearly defined by function.
Overview 3 Overview The high performance 648 FireWire 800/1394b Optical Repeater can connect between a host computer and remotely located peripheral devices via fiber optics. IEEE 1394b protocol signals can be extended to up to 500m (1640 feet), with a data rate of up to 800Mbps in full duplex mode1.
Overview 3.2 About the FireWire Repeater Many computers today come with one or more FireWire ports on the rear panel. These ports let you attach many devices to your computer quickly and easily. The operating system also supports FireWire, so the installation of the device drivers is quick and simple. Connecting a FireWire device to a computer is easy – you just plug it into the port.
