This tiny device was one of the first FireWire repeater modules on the market. It was used for applications requiring the interface of 1394 compliant devices with the need for cable lengths greater than the 4.5M specified in the IEEE spec.

The repeater allowed operation as S400, S200 and S100 signaling rates and used power supplied over the FireWire interface cable itself.

For this application, Fishcamp Engineering developed a fully custom plastic enclosure for the circuit card.
