FireNEX COAX S800 75ohm COAX BNC FireWire 800 IEEE1394b Repeater Kit
The FireNEX-COAX-S800 uses flexible coaxial cabling to provide reliable FireWire 800 transmission up to 60 meters (196 feet). There are several advantages in using a standard 75 Ohm coax cable, like wide availability, excellent EMC performance, low cost connections, enabling of terminations by end users, and the possibility of using existing cabling infrastructure. Since each FireNEX-COAX-S800 repeater has two IEEE 1394b FireWire 800 ports it can also be used as a hub for daisy chain connections.
A FireNEX-COAX-S800 set includes two FireNEX COAX S800 75ohm COAX BNC FireWire 800 IEEE1394b repeaters and a manual. An available DC power jack lets you connect an optional power supply (purchased separately), such as the FIRENEX-POWER. COAX cable and FireWire/IEEE1394b cables are not included. The repeaters feature industrial standard screw locking for 1394b ports.

Orico SuperSpeed USB 3.0 W8PH4 Series Portable 4 Port Hubs
Orico's latest portable SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub series was designed with the latest laptops, ultrabooks, and tablet PCs in mind. Available in glossy black or white color schemes, the W8PH4 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub is as attractive as it is functional. The W8PH4 4 Port Hub maximizes data transfer speeds when using higher-bandwidth peripherals including external USB 3.0 digital video cameras, disk drives, video surveillance cameras, high-resolution webcams, and multi-channel audio. These Orico hubs support USB 3.0 data transfer speeds up to 5Gb/s and provides backwards support for USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The 4 port HU430 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub works with a wide range of USB devices and allows simultaneous operation of multiple USB 3.0 and legacy USB devices.
Utilizing Via's efficient VL812 USB 3.0 controller chipset with advanced USB PHY technology, the W8PH4 SuperSpeed hub features advanced power management. Its built-in integrated charging controller circuit provides Digitally Charging Port (DCP) and Charging Downstream Port (CDP) capabilities conforming to the USB Battery Charging 1.2 Specification, resulting in charging efficiency up to 3 times of ordinary USB charging port. What's more, the HU430 4 Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub provides over-current protection at each port.

New and improved: USB 2.0 Hub 12+1 Port with 2.1A iCharge Port Powered with Power Supply
Tired of wrangling multiple USB 2.0 hubs? Synchrotech's 12+1 Port USB 2.0 Hub with 2.1A iCharge Port provides host computers with 12+1 additional USB ports and allows flexible tiered USB configurations with a single hub! This robust and inexpensive hub runs in self powered mode and provides over current protection at each of its downstream ports. Fully USB 2.0 compliant and USB 1.1 backward compatible, it supports low, full, and high speed USB devices and works with any system that supports the USB specification. Providing thirteen downstream ports, this hub features plug and play installation and transparent operation. This hub is fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 and will work with systems and devices using the slower standard. It comes with a free power supply with a generous 4 ampere capacity, and USB 2.0 cable to connect to a host computer.
The new model of this hub trades one data port for a high-current capacity 'iCharge" port for devices requiring 2.1 Amperes to charge, like the iPad®. The charging port is not a data port and does not allow syncing or any other functionality other than device charging. However, this lack of data transfer on the iCharge port does have a distinct advantage—the hub doesn't need to be connected to a computer in order to charge a device. The other 12 ports allow for syncing and other standard USB 2.0 operations for connected devices.

Addressing a Common FireWire Repeater Port Count Question
> FW8-FIO-UB4PRH Unibrain FireRepeater-800 Pro FireWire 800 IEEE 1394b
> Repeater Hub 4 Port
> Assuming (all ports a bi-directional) as we would like 4 output
> devices feeding into
> 1 input device.
Since FireWire is a true peer-to-peer technology, unlike say, the prosaic USB standard, terminology for FireWire repeaters and hubs is a little different. Typically the count on a FireWire repeater hub is the total available ports, since the host computer is considered just another peer level device. In other words, plugging a computer into the FW8-FIO-UB4PRH leaves three available ports left. If you have 5 total devices to connect (including a computer), then you could deploy two of the repeater hubs in conjunction with each other. The following schematic illustrates one such configuration with FW8R1 and FW8R2 representing separate FW8-FIO-UB4PRH units.

HOST --- = p1 |
| p2 = --- DEVICE FW8R2

| p4 = ------------ = p1 |

Glass Optical Fiber Repeater 800
GOFR 800™ is an excellent solution for many situations requiring long distance FireWire 800 or FireWire 400 applications. Unibrain has tested and recommended the following over distances of up to 550 meters: FireWire cameras, DV Camcorder, Hard Drive storage, and high performance networking. Glass Optical Fiber Repeater 800™ utilizes the Texas Instruments TSB81BA3D, and is constructed from heavy duty, coated galvanized steel.

Synchrotech Now Offering Two FireWire 800 Repeater Hubs
Both FireWire 800 Repeater hubs are usable in FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) and FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a/iLink) work-flows. See our FireWire 400 and FireWire 800 Cables and IEEE 1394 Connectors page for appropriate cables and converters to mix and match existing FireWire products. Repeater hubs provide bus flexibility in that they allow for daisy chaining and/or hierarchical (tree) bus configurations. Repeater hubs also provide a means to lengthen the distance between devices when 1394's cable length of 4.5 meters is inadequate. Simply daisy chain repeaters between cables to extend your reach to 110m.
