Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the FireWire Cat5 Extender Kit. This IEEE1394 extender is capable of sending FireWire signals across a Cat5e or Cat 6 cable up to 75 meters at a data rate of up to 400Mbps. This extender is optimized to create long-haul IEEE1394b-2002 connections over Cat5e or Cat6 at the same S400 rate, but it can also be used at S200 and S100 speeds.
Features Fully supports provisions of IEEE 1394a.2000 and 1394.1995 Standard for High Performance Serial Bus. Fully interoperable with FireWire, SB1394, DishWire, and i.Link. Fully supports IEEE1394 at up to 400Mbps speeds Equipped with multi-rate adaptive equalizer which transfers IEEE1394 signal via Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cable Typical Performance Speed...
Installation There are two FireWire Cat5 transceivers in the package. Either can work as sender or receiver. 1.) Connect FireWire Cat5 Extender to the host system with an IEEE1394b (9pin) cable. Note: if you’re using a desktop PC or any Mac, you’ll probably need to use the 9pin to 6pin included in the package.
Troubleshooting 1.) LED is not lit, or it is lit dimly, please disconnect the transceivers and then reconnect them. This will help determine if something just has a bad connection. If that doesn’t work, then try a different Cat5e or Cat 6 cable. 2.) LED is not lit: You don’t have enough power.
