Why would I need this? Normally FireWire is only sustainable for about 15ft. There are a couple of ways to increase that a little. But, let's say you have a video camera that connect through FireWire and you want to run it to a computer that's far away. This kit will allow you to make that happen.

Compatible with FireWire devices it doesn't matter what brand, make or model your FireWire device is, this is compatible. It's just as if your FireWire port were right there by your device. FireWire can run up to 400Mbps, and this device handles every bit of it. Great for DV cameras, hard drives, remote controls, robotics, etc.
