Overview

Hubs can be powered or unpowered. The FireWire® standard lets devices draw

their power from their FireWire® connection. Obviously, a high-power device,

like a professional DV camcorder, will have its own power supply, but

low-power devices like a Webcam derive their power from the bus in order to

simplify them. The power for this (up to 1 amp at 12 volts) comes from the

computer. If you have several self-powered devices, then your hub does not

need to be powered, as none of the devices connecting to the hub need

additional power, and the hub itself can derive power from the computer. If

you have many unpowered devices, you probably need a powered hub. The

hub has to be powered from an AC adapter, which supplies power to the

bus.

3.2.1 About FireWire® 800

FireWire® 800 (IEEE 1394b) is twice as fast as FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) up

to 800 Mbit/sec, and also greatly increases the maximum transmission distance.
