There are two types of FireWire connectors:
• 6-pin connectors supply Data and Strobe, as well as
Bus Power
• 4-pin connectors supply Data and Strobe to the Bus
• The quad-shielded cable (included) provides transport

The Belkin FireWire 4-Port Hub can operate either with or
without the included AC/DC adapter. When used in Bus-
powered mode without the AC/DC adapter, the hub will supply
each device attached to it a maximum of +5V, 500mA DC
power. This should be sufficient for most low-powered devices.
In self-powered mode using the AC/DC adapter, the FireWire
4-Port Hub provides a maximum of DC +5V – 1.25A to each
port, allowing connections with other hubs and extensions of
the cable length by repeating or amplifying the signal to other
devices on the FireWire or IEEE 1394 Bus.
