Introduction

FW2UTP5W01 is a IEEE-1394 to UTP5 Repeater featuring Texas Instrument's TSB41BA3 and TSB17BA1. FW2UTP5W01 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. FW2UTP5W01 is designed in wallplate form factor so it works for CAT5-structured wiring cable that is typically installed in a home or office.
