What is the Ethernet Firewire® adapter?

Firewire® Ethernet is a type of computer bus. It is able to send signals formatted firewire® via Ethernet cable or category 5 (CAT5) to another FireWire® adapter. Another name for the Firewire® Ethernet adapter is the Firewire® Cat5 repeater.

The firewire® connection cables are usually only 15 feet (4.6 m). The Ethernet FireWire® Ethernet adapter can send formatted data using Ethernet cables to create longer -efficient CAT5 Ethernet cables to create longer network connections in large buildings. However, the Ethernet Firewire® adapter is unable to translate Firewire® data to Ethernet formatting. The other end of the Ethernet cable cannot be directly connected to the Ethernet receiving computer port.

Firewire® is a high -speed serial bus with a data connection that is used to connect the device to the computer. It can also be used to connect several computers together in the local Network (LAN) area to make users mOhli to quickly exchange data. Before the Ethernet LAN connection was invented, Firewire® was used to create a ropes that connected computers for online gaming and data transfer.

There are three types of Firewire® connectors. Desktop computers use a six -colice rectangular connector. Notebooks or laptops use a four -pin square connector. Computer devices that use faster firewire® 800 have a nine -wheel plug at one end and a six -foot plug on the other for backward compatibility.

As an alternative to use the FireWire® Ethernet adapter, boards or cards with Ethernet port and Port FireWire® port can be installed in the computer tower. This type of circuit board allows a simultaneous connection of devices used by firewire® and devices that use Ethernet cables. For example, the Firewire® digital video camera can be connected to the Computer that is connected to EthernEta rope. Saved video in the camera can then be sent to another user in LAN.
