Kramer TP-300FW
FireWire Range Extender (Priced Each, Sold In Pairs)

TP-300FW

The TP-300FW is a truly unique high quality FireWire Range Extender from the Kramer TOOLS family of compact, high quality and cost effective solutions. FireWire signals inherently have a 15 foot (4.5m) distance limitation. Kramer has pioneered a solution to this distance limitation for 100Mbs Video (DV) FireWire signals with the TP-300FW. One TP-300FW will convert a FireWire signal so it can be sent over inexpensive and unshielded CAT 5 cable up to 300 feet (100m) to a second TP-300FW that will convert the FireWire signal back to its native format. Repeater/hubs, such as the Kramer VS-8FW can be used with FireWire signals to extend them up to about 263 feet. This solution requires the use of several repeater/hub products which means it can be costly and it is still limited to a maximum distance of about 263 feet. With the TP-300FW, a third TP-300FW can be added to the system and extend the overall signal range to a total of 600 feet (200m).  In fact, multiple TP-300FW’s can be added to any system, each time adding up to 300 feet (100m) of operating range. These units support Plug and Play standards, hot swapping and both isochronous and asynchronous applications. The TP-300FW is ideal for use in digital video production facilities, digital video editing suites and live digital video broadcasting applications where FireWire is the signal of choice.
