What is the maximum data transfer rate of Firewire 800?

Firewire 800, also known as IEEE 1394b, has a maximum data transfer rate of 800 Mbps (megabits per second). This standard was developed to provide faster data transfer capabilities compared to its predecessor, Firewire 400, which offers a maximum transfer rate of 400 Mbps. Firewire 800 increases the bandwidth available for devices such as external hard drives, video cameras, and other peripherals that connect through this interface.

It's important to recognize that while Firewire 800 supports speeds up to 800 Mbps over standard connections, it can achieve higher speeds using specific implementations, such as through fiber optic cables, but for standard copper connections, the maximum remains at 800 Mbps. The other options, while they represent higher data transfer rates, do not correspond to Firewire 800's capabilities.
