Bus powered feature A revolutionary feature of this particular repeater, is that it can be bus powered, which means you usually don't need a power supply at the end of the run.
Screw locking connections Ever have problems with your FireWire cables pulling out of the socket? No problem with this repeater. You can easily screw your locking FireWire cables into this device for a secure connection.
Why would I need this? The real question is, why wouldn't you? This product not only breaks the 15ft limitation of FireWire, but it extends it over 10 times that.

It also works for hard drives, or any other FireWire device you might be using.
