Description:
Now enjoy the portability of powering iPOD in your car; the ability to use a single power supply for any FireWire bus-powered devices; and the convenience of charging cell phones, PDAs and MP3 players on the road with an USB charger.
The FirePOD and FireCABLE provides a complete on-the-road Universal FireWire Power system. The Basic kit includes the FirePOD (12V USB/FireWire power adapter), and FireCABLE (FireWire pass-through power line). The Deluxe kit also includes FireWire AC/DC adapter, similar to Apple’s iPOD adapter.
The USB port is regulated to the strict standard of USB power specification; works with popular bus-charging devices such as USB link cable for PDA and cell phones and even with USB lamp. FirePOD�s FireWire port outputs a steady and regulated current that is identical to your Apple FireWire port, so you don�t have to worry about battery-butchering power surge from accelerating and braking in everyday commute. FirePOD is also bundled with the FireCable, a unique cable that provides universal FireWire bus-power without occupying any precious FireWire data port.
