Gefen launch new FireWire Extender

Gefen has announced the release of its ex-tend-it FireWire Extender, a new addition to its ex-tend-it Professional Series product line.
FireWire is a popular interface used on Apple computers and electronic video devices such as digital cameras and displays. With the new FireWire Extender, any device with a FireWire port can be extended great distances from the computer or source, effectively operating anywhere within a 1640-feet (500-meter) distance.
The FireWire Extender uses a sender and receiver system to transmit data at an average rate of 350 to 400mbps. Installation takes minutes and requires the sender to be connected to the source and the receiver to be connected to the remote device via FireWire. Data is sent along multimode, LC-terminated fibre optics cables that connect the sender (source) to the receiver (remote device).
Currently available for purchase online at www.gefen.com for $899, the FireWire Extender includes short-range connection cables and an external power supply.
Assorted lengths of fibre optics cabling are sold through Gefen as well.
