The StarTech MPEX1394B3 provides essential connectivity for systems requiring FireWire interfaces, particularly in industrial or legacy data acquisition scenarios. This card expands a Mini PCI Express slot into two FireWire 800 (1394b) ports and one FireWire 400 (1394a) port, enabling the integration of high-speed external devices. Its low-profile design ensures compatibility with compact system builds, making it suitable for integration into specialized enclosures or smaller form-factor industrial PCs where legacy device support is critical. The inclusion of an LP4 power connector allows for direct power delivery to connected devices, ensuring stable operation for power-hungry peripherals.
This Mini PCI Express card is designed for systems equipped with a Mini PCI Express x1 slot. It adheres to IEEE-1394/1394A/1394B OHCI and PCI Express 1.1 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with operating systems that support these protocols. The Texas Instruments xIO2213B chipset is recognized for its reliable performance with a wide range of FireWire devices, including external hard drives, digital video cameras, and specialized industrial sensors that rely on FireWire for data transfer. It is suitable for integration into industrial PCs, embedded systems, and workstations needing to interface with legacy FireWire peripherals.
The card requires a free Mini PCI Express x1 slot. For optimal performance and stability, especially when connecting power-intensive devices, utilize the included LP4 power connector to supply direct power from the system's power supply unit. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), making it suitable for most standard operating environments. Its low-profile form factor requires a chassis that can accommodate it, and the external ports provide 800 Mbit/s (FireWire 800) and 400 Mbit/s (FireWire 400) data transfer rates.
