FireWire 800 (IEEE-1394b) is
the newer version of the popular FireWire interface which doubles the
throughput of the original IEEE-1394a FireWire interface from 400Mbps to
800Mbps!
Twisted pair construction and triple shielding reduces
cross talk and maximizes data transfer rate
Fast data transfers, rated up to 800Mbps (limited by
device/port speed)
Meet FireWire 800 and 1394b specifications
Plug-and-Play, hot swap compatible, allows connection and
disconnection of FireWire devices without shutting down computer
