- Not only is FireWire 800 twice as fast as before, but it can be used over much longer distances.
- The 1394b specification allows the use of various types of cabling, each offering different speed/distance capabilities.
- FireWire 800 (1394b) hubs even make it possible to connect FireWire 400 (1394a) devices.
- Neither the computer nor the remote devices need to support FireWire 800, because the new hubs and their associated cables work with FireWire 400 equipment.
- New FireWire 800 (and other 1394b) devices can, of course, communicate over long connections directly through their own FireWire 800 ports; no hub is required to gain this distance benefit in a FireWire 800 connection.
