USB2.0 and IEEE1394 as the two opposing new data transmission standard, in order to compete for the right as succession of USB1.1 and prevail in the market, the competition between the two have lasted for a long time under the control of their mastermind, there are many victims of this competition. Many motherboards have to use both standard, and now, USB2.0 win and continue to maintain the overwhelming advantages of hardware products and expand the range, but in a number of digital devices and Apple compatible equipment still in use IEEE1394 interface. Is there anything compatible with the interface can connect two together?

The answer is yes.

The connection line is USB-IEEE1394 switch wiring, support USB2.0, divided into the standard USB-mini IEEE1394 interface, standard USB-standard IEEE1394 interface and a mini-mini-USB interface, IEEE1394-several, you can have a USB2.0 Interface computer (or other device) or the use of IEEE1394 devices with IEEE1394 interface with computers and networking equipment, set up and the speed is not too slow, USB1.1 can of course, but the speed will slow much more. IEEE1394 interface with computers and equipment can also be through a standard USB-standard IEEE1394 interface connection with the use of USB devices or USB interface with computers and networking equipment.
