Introduction

FWHN-PCI01 is a 3-port OHCI Compliant 1394b-2002 to PCI Host Adapter featuring Texas Instruments Link-Layer Controller (LLC) TSB12LV26 and IEEE 1394b 3-port Cable Transceiver/Arbiter TSB41BA3.

These 3-port are POF (S400 or S200), FW (S400) and RJ45 (S100).

FWHN-PCI01 provides jumpers for selecting different operation modes (mode 23 & 27).

FWHN-PCI01 is designed to meet the demanding requirements for Home Networking with today's IEEE 1394b-2002 standard.

FWHN-PCI01 is to enable 1394b 100-Mbps signals to be transmitted and received across up to 100 meters of unshielded twisted-pair category 5 (UTP5) cable.

FWHN-PCI01 also works for CAT5-structured wiring cable that is typically installed in a home or office.

FWHN-PCI01 is designed to use Fiber Optic Transceiving Module for SMI (Small Multimedia Interface) connector.

FWHN-PCI01 is to enable 1394b 400-Mbps signals to be transmitted and received across up to 20 meters of Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) cable.
