Green PCIe expansion card with four FireWire ports and internal power connectors

LORDWORLD

LORDWORLD PCIe 4 Port (3+1) 1394A 1x 4 Pin 3x 6 Pin Firewire Adapter

SKU CH-BADA-V1AFK

Adds four FireWire 1394A ports to a desktop via a PCI Express slot with 4-pin and 6-pin power connectors

  • Adds four FireWire ports via one PCIe slot
  • Supports 1394 Open HCI 1.0 and 1.1 standards
  • Works with Windows 2000 through Windows 10
  • Includes L0s/L1 ASPM dynamic power management
  • Complies with PCI-E power management 1.1 and ACPI 2.0

PCIe 4-Port FireWire Adapter

The LORDWORLD card adds four IEEE 1394a ports to a desktop computer through a single PCI Express slot. Three ports use 6-pin connectors and one uses a 4-pin connector for legacy devices. It targets users who still rely on DV camcorders, external hard drives or audio interfaces that require FireWire.

Thermals and Power Management

The adapter complies with PCI Express Revision 1.1 and supports L0s and L1 Active State Power Management. It also follows PCI-E bus power management v1.1 and ACPI v2.0 specifications. These features help limit power draw and heat output during normal operation.

Upgrade Considerations

This card replaces a missing or failed onboard FireWire controller on modern motherboards that lack the interface. The jump is worthwhile when you need to connect multiple 1394 devices simultaneously under Windows 2000 through Windows 10. It does not suit builders who need newer serial interfaces or higher port counts.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LORDWORLD PCIe 4 Port 1394A card in my desktop?

Insert the card into an available PCI Express x1 slot, secure the bracket with a screw, then connect the 4-pin and 6-pin power cables from the PSU. Windows 7/8/10/Vista will load the OHCI 1.0/1.1 driver automatically.

What maintenance will the LORDWORLD 1394A adapter need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; keep the PCIe slot and FireWire ports free of dust and reseat the card if connection issues appear after years of use.

What limit appears first when the LORDWORLD FireWire card runs under sustained load?

The PCI Express 1.1 link and 1394a OHCI 1.1 controller set the maximum sustained throughput, so bandwidth saturates before thermal throttling becomes a factor.
