It's kind of the other way around. IEEE 1394 is the standard. It is also known as Firewire.

When was the IEEE1394 introduced?
The IEEE1394 communications standard was certified in 1995. Different companies have called different names (no not that sort of name) such as Firewire, iLink.
What two names refers to the IEEE1394 standard?
The IEEE1394 standard can actually go by one of three names: # FireWire (Apple) # i.LINK (Sony) # Lynx (Texas Instruments) More information on this technology is available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireWire
Which has the highest data transfer rate USB or IEEE 1394?
IEEE1394 or as Apple calls it, "Firewire" can carry more data. And superior to both of these is Thunderbolt also developed by Apple.
What are two other names for a firewire?
Firewire, also known as IEEE 1394 and i.Link
What does firewire IEEE1394?
The IEEE 1394 standard defines the FireWire bus, developed by Apple, that was a mainstay for a few professional industries until it was overshadowed by USB's ubiquity, continual improvement which debunked rumors that FireWire was still faster than USB. However some still choose to continue use FireWire for compatibility or for other legacy hardware support reasons.
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.
What is firewire - where do you get it and how?
FireWire (technically known as an IEEE 1394 interface) is an interface developed by Apple that allows you to plug peripherals such as video cameras into your computer. Most Macs come with a FireWire interface, some Windows PCs have fireWire built in or they can have it added by adding a FireWire card. Some manufacturers adopt their own name for the IEEE 1394 interface; Sony, for example, call it an iLink. If you have a camera, or some other peripheral, with a FireWire interface it will have come with a FireWire cable which you plug into your computer to allow the two to connect so you can transfer your video/images from the camera to the computer.
What has a faster interface to the system an external serial ata or an external firewire hard drive?
External serial ATA known as eSATA is up to six times faster than USB or Firewire.
What is the most important difference between standard USB and IEEE1394?
Red hot night
What plugs into a Firewire port?
Any devise that is made to work with firewire. Such as a hard drive.
What is IEEE 1394?
IEEE 1394 is a standard for a type of connection media. Typically known as Firewire.
Where can you get a firewire to USB?
can you get a usb adapter for a firewire cable
