DIGITUS IEEE 1394b Interface Card, Pci-e 3 Port, 2x9-Pin External +1x9-Pin Internal

Extend your system with additional FireWire connectivity using the IEEE 1394b PCIe add-on card. The card provides three FireWire 800 (1394b) ports—two external 9-pin ports and one internal 9-pin port—and supports data transfer speeds of 100, 200, 400 and 800 Mbps. A built-in 4-pin power connector supplies extra power when connected to the system power supply, which is recommended for stable operation with high-power devices.

Advantages

The expansion card adds three high-speed FireWire 800 ports to systems that lack sufficient 1394b connectivity. Support for multiple standard transfer rates ensures compatibility with a wide range of FireWire devices. The internal 9-pin port allows connection to internal enclosures or adapters, while the external ports provide easy access for peripherals. The integrated 4-pin power connector helps maintain stable power delivery to connected devices.
