FireNEX-CAT5 is an IEEE-1394b-compliant repeater for long-distance connection. The FireNEX-CAT5 can send IEEE-1394 signals across a regular Cat5 cable up to 100 m long at a data rate of 100 Mbits/s. It comes in a box slightly larger than a deck of cards and weighs 91 g. The repeater works with both PCs and Macs.
