Description

The StarTech.com MPEX1394B3 3-Port Mini PCI Express FireWire Card is a compact PCIe-to-FireWire adapter that adds two FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) ports and one FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) port to small form factor or embedded systems. Designed in a Mini PCI Express (Mini Card) form factor, the card enables external FireWire connectivity on systems where a full-sized PCIe card will not fit and supports external FireWire storage devices at data transfer speeds up to 800 Mbps.

Advantages

The adapter provides both FireWire-800 and FireWire-400 ports on a single Mini PCIe card, allowing compatibility with a wide range of legacy and modern IEEE 1394 devices. Its compact Mini PCI Express form factor is suitable for Mini-ITX and custom embedded systems. The product is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Suitable for

Adding external FireWire ports to Mini-ITX and other small form factor desktop systems
Embedded systems and custom hardware platforms that require IEEE 1394 connectivity
Connecting FireWire-800 / FireWire-400 storage devices, audio interfaces and legacy peripherals

Ports & interfaces

Firewire (IEEE 1394) ports: Number of IEEE 1394/FireWire ports (connecting interfaces) in the device. The IEEE 1394 interface is a serial bus interface standard for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data transfer. It was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Apple, who called it FireWire. The 1394 interface is comparable to USB though USB has more market share. Apple first included FireWire in some of its 1999 models, and most Apple computers since the year 2000 have included FireWire ports, though, as of 2013, only the 800 version (IEEE-1394b).: 3
