INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Firewire 800 Extender Plus. Your complete satis­faction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions that
harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies. Gefen’s reliable,
plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer systems, professional audio/
video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are
easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen Firewire 800 Extender Plus

This solution uses a sender and receiver system to instantly send your data from your
source to your extended Firewire device. It boasts a remarkable transfer rate of up to 980
Mbps and easily bridges distances up to 1640 feet (500 meters). This gives you the free­dom to operate your computer based equipment and video cameras as if they were con­nected locally with no signal degradation or time lag. Receiving units have a second pair of

ber connectors to daisy chain multiple Receiving units for extreme distances.

How It Works

Simply connect your computer to the Firewire Extender 800 sender unit with the supplied
cable. Connect your extended device to the receiver unit - up to 1640 feet away. One

2-strand LC-LC ber optic cable, available in several lengths from Gefen, connect sender

(computer) to receiver (Firewire device).
