IEEE 1394b

IEEE 1394b, also known as FireWire or IEEE 1394-2008, is a high-speed data transfer standard used to connect computers and electronic devices. It enables fast, direct communication between devices like external hard drives, cameras, and audio equipment, allowing for quick data transfer with minimal lag. IEEE 1394b improves upon earlier versions by offering higher speeds—up to 3.2 Gbps—and longer cable lengths, making it suitable for professional applications that require rapid and reliable data exchange. It’s commonly used in multimedia production and professional computing environments for its efficiency and versatility.
