IEEE1394 or as Apple calls it, "Firewire" can carry more data. And superior to both of these is Thunderbolt also developed by Apple.
It uses isochronous data transfer, the transfering of data continously without interruption or breaks.

The IEEE 1394 interface was largely developed by Apple and is marketed by them as FireWire.

No, 1394 cables transmit data independently of length.
IEEE 1394 and iLink are other names for fire wire and the speed allowed is 32 Gbps.
IEEE 1394b can transfer at a maximum rate of 786.432 Mbit/s.
FireWire, also known as IEEE 1394, was developed by Apple Inc. in the late 1980s. The technology was designed for high-speed data transfer and is commonly used for connecting digital devices like camcorders and external hard drives. The standard was later standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1995.
