FireWire Optical Repeater

Newnex FireNEX Optical Repeater

The Newnex FireNEX optical repeater is the newest in optical technology and IEEE1394 technology. Utilizing an IEEE1394 PHY and optical transceiver, the FireNEX is capable of sending IEEE1394 signals across a optical fiber cable up to 500 meters in length! The FireNEX is contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it inobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.

The Newnex FireNEX can also be used as a standard IEEE1394 repeater, extending your signal an additional 4.5 meters. The real power, however, is in its optical connection. Setting up the FireNEX is quite simple. Using an MTRJ connector, which has only one connector instead of two like the SC-type connectors, plugging in the optical connection is without confusion or difficulty. It takes only minutes to setup, and there is no configuration necessary, like all IEEE1394 compliant hardware. The FireNEX is 1394b compliant, but currently only uses IEEE1394a connectors.
