FireWire 800 at a Glance:

The NitroAV FireWire 800 ports support bus-powered mode and self-powered mode. In bus-powered mode, it does not need an extra AC power adapter for light-power devices. In self-powered mode, the DC jack and Terminal Blocks were designed to supply more power for heavy power devices. With Texas Instruments IEEE 1394b cable transceiver/arbiter chip, it includes circuitry to monitor the line conditions as needed for determining connection status, for initialization and arbitration, and for packet reception and transmission.

• Provides 5 External 9-pin IEEE 1394b Connectors - One to Computer, Four to Devices
• Texas Instruments Multi-chip Design Prevents Dropped Signals
• Bus-Powered or Self-Powered 
• Cable Ports Monitor Line Conditions for Active Connection to Remote Node

 

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at a Glance:

The NitroAV USB 3.0 ports operate in self-powered more or bus-powered mode. In bus-powered mode, it does not need an extra AC power adapter for light-power devices. In self-powered mode, the DC jack and Terminal Blocks were designed to supply more power for heavy power devices. This eliminates underpowering USB devices. Each port can receive its full  power, so professionals and pro-sumers do not have to worry about USB devices receving proper, and optimum power, eliminating a wide variety of frustrating and potentially damaging scenarios with audio, video, card readers, flash, and wireless devices.
