This 3 Port PCI Express FireWire adapter card can be installed in a PCI Express slot to add two IEEE1394b (FireWire 800 - 9 pin) ports and one IEEE1394a (FireWire 400 - 6 pin) port providing broad compatibility with a wide range of FireWire devices (e.g. DV camcorders external hard drives digital cameras etc.). The 2b 1a card features a native (single chip) PCI Express chipset - resulting in faster more reliable and cost effective performance than expansion cards that utilize a''bridge'' chip. Add 3 FireWire ports to a standard or small form factor (SFF) computer with support for high-powered FireWire devices. Utilizes a native PCI Express chipset design rather than a bridge chip ensuring a fast reliable and cost-effective FireWire expansion. Two 9-pin FireWire 800 ports each with transfer rates up to 800Mbps. One 6-pin FireWire 400 port each with transfer rates up to 400Mbps. Built with a native PCI Express chipset no bridge chip. Includes low profile.half-height installation bracket. Internal power connector for high powered FireWire devices. Compliant with IEEE 1394b and backwards compatible with IEEE 1394a - 2000 as well as 1394-1995 standards. Plug-and-Play and hot-swap compatible. Add a high speed FireWire port to a desktop without any FireWire ports. Connect a digital camera to a desktop with a PCI Express slot to download photos and video. Connect a high-speed external hard drive to a PCI Express-enabled system. Technical Specifications. Warranty Lifetime. Bus Type PCI Express.
