or time lag. Receiving units have a second pair of fi 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 fi ber optic cable, available in several lengths from
Gefen, connect sender (computer) to receiver (Firewire device).
