INTroduCTIoN Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it Firewire Extender Series. Extending your Firewire peripherals (i.e. camcorders or hard drives) up to 1640 feet away from the location of your Macintosh or PC computer are done easily with the Firewire 800 Extender. The Firewire 800 Extender system consists of two units. The Firewire 800 Extender sender resides next to the host computer, and the Firewire 800 Extender receiver is linked to the sender via 2-strand LC-LC fiber optic cable and resides at the desired location away from the computer. Fiber optics cables are used to connect one Firewire Extender unit to an other Firewire Extender unit. The Firewire Extender keeps your desk clutter-free, allowing the relocation of your computer to a safe and secure area, while allowing you to work in a quieter environment. You can connect additional Firewire 800 Extender systems to the same computer, allowing you to access the computer from multiple locations up to 1640 feet apart.
