  • DS=1394a-2000 data strobe-only, S400, S200 and S100 operating speeds
  • B1=1394b-2002 Beta-only S100b operating speeds

FWHN-PCI02 is designed to meet the demanding requirements for Home Networking with today's IEEE 1394b-2002 standard.

FWHN-PCI02 is to enable 1394b 100-Mbps signals to be transmitted and received across up to 100 meters of unshielded twisted-pair category 5 (UTP5) cable.

FWHN-PCI02 also works for CAT5-structured wiring cable that is typically installed in a home or office.
