The FireNEX-CAT5 S400 is contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it unobtrusive and compact, allowing you to place it on a desktop already crowded with other things.
OS Support: Windows, Mac, Linux
Part Number: FireNEX-C-400-PAIR

The real power is in its connection through a regular Cat5 cable, which has been widely used in the Ethernet world. Setting up the FireNEX-CAT5 is quite simple. Using a Cat5e twisted pair cable for connection is without confusion or difficulty. It takes only minutes to setup, and there is no configuration necessary, like all IEEE1394 compliant hardware. The FireNEX-CAT5 S400 will work for both 1394b and 1394a signals at speeds up to 400 Mbps.

A FireNEX-CAT5™ S400 SET includes two FireNEX-CAT5™ S400 repeaters, a manual and and the Qu-CAT™, a Newnex specially designed CAT5 cable adapter. Cat5e cable and FireWire cables are not included. The Newnex FireNEX-CAT5 S400 comes with one-year manufacturer warranty.
With the included Qu-CAT adapter you may use your own straight through CAT5e or CAT6 cables. If you wish to wire your own single CAT5e or CAT6 cable you may refer to the CAT5 wiring diagram.
