Introduction
FW2POF200-x is a FireWire (IEEE 1394) to POF (Plastic Optical Fiber) Repeater featuring Texas Instrument's TSB41BA3 and TOSHIBA TODX2402 (250Mb/s Fiber Optical Transceiving Module for SMI Connector). FW2POF200-x enables 1394b 200-Mbps signals to be transmitted and received across up to 20 meters of POF cable. It's easy to setup and there is no configuration necessary, like all FireWire (IEEE 1394) compliant hardware.

Note: SMI (Small Multimedia Interface).
