What FireWire connector must use a separate power supply?
No FireWire does not need a separate power supply to operate. FireWire is used to connect peripheral devices to a computer.
Supports speeds up to 400 Mbps and is sometimes called FireWire 400?
IEEE 1394a
What is the difference between USB and FireWire?
FireWire has a higher transfer rate than USB, making it more suitable for video transfer and connecting external storage. USB is host-based, meaningit must have a host computer to transfer data to / from (with a few exceptions). FireWire devices can transfer data between themselves directly without the need for a computer host. FireWire supports fewer devices connected together (63, vs. 127 for USB).
What are two other names for a firewire?
Firewire, also known as IEEE 1394 and i.Link
What is IEEE 1394?
IEEE 1394 is a standard for a type of connection media. Typically known as Firewire.
What are two other names for FireWire?
IEEE 1394 and i.LINK. Two other names for "Firewire" are IEEE 1394 and i.LINK.
What is the speed of Firewire?
Firewire IEEE1394a supports a maximum speed of 400mbs. IEEE1394b can support speeds of up to 3200mbs over special connections. Typically thought of as Firewire800 because of it's backwards compatibility at 800mbs.
What is the purpose of a firewire port in a computer system?
i am assuming that you know what a firewire is. not all computers come with a firewire input. if your computer doesn't have a firewire IN. then you have to buy a card, which gives you the acessability to plug a firewire cable into your computer.
What do broadband over power lines operate out?
These networks operate at speeds of 90 Mbps
How to connect two MACs?
with the help of Firewire
How many times faster is a FireWire 800 port than a FireWire 400 port?
two times faster
What is a FireWire 800 port?
FireWire (technically known as an IEEE 1394 interface), introduced by Apple in 1995, allows a fast connection for peripherals such as video cameras. It is similar to a USB connector. The original version is now known as FireWire 400. FireWire 800 was introduced to give faster transfer speeds and supporting longer cable lengths without loss of signal. The connectors for the 400 and 800 versions are not interchangeable but converters are available which will allow FireWire 400 equipment to be connected to the FireWire 800 port at the slower connection speed.
