5 Using Your TP-300FW FireWire Range Extender
The standard FireWire range between two FireWire devices is limited to 4.5m
(13.5ft). The TP-300FW Range Extender is used to extend this distance to 100m
(300ft).
5.1 Extending the Distance Between Two FireWire Devices to 100m
To connect a pair of TP-300FW units via STP cable to extend the FireWire
range as illustrated in the example in
Figure 2 :
Figure 2: Extending the Distance Between Two FireWire Devices to 100m
1. Connect a FireWire device (for example, a video camcorder) to the FW PORT
on the first TP-300FW unit, and a FireWire device (for example, a PC) to the
FW PORT on the second TP-300FW unit.
2. When using a straight pin-to-pin STP cable, connect the CAT 5 STRAIGHT
RJ-45 connector on the first TP-300FW unit to the CAT 5 CROSSED RJ-45
connector on the second TP-300FW unit

.
When using a crossover STP cable, connect the CAT 5 STRAIGHT RJ-45
connector on the first TP-300FW unit to the CAT 5 STRAIGHT RJ-45
1 Alternatively, connect the CAT 5 CROSSED RJ-45 connector on the first TP-300FW unit to the CAT 5 STRAIGHT RJ-45 connector
on the second TP-300FW unit
