Preserving the aesthetic design of its predecessor, iLynx 800 boasts FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) speeds under its sleek hood. When plugged in to your iMac, iLynx provides four downstream USB 2.0 ports (backward compatible with USB 1.1) and two FireWire 800 ports (backward compatible with FireWire 400). Equipped with our proprietary DPS (Dynamic Power Sharing) technology, iLynx 800 is the only FireWire/USB combo hub that can support simultaneous operation of high power peripheral devices such as external hard disc or DVD drives without the need for a power adapter. If you demand nothing less than absolute performance and reliability out of your FireWire and USB peripherals, iLynx 800 continues to be the quintessential desktop I/Oextension for your computer.
