Add More Ports for
High-Speed Peripherals
Can your computer harness the performance offered by today’s fastest multimedia peripherals? Sonnet’s Tango™ Express 800 provides a quick way to add (or add more) high-speed connections to your setup and delivers maximum data transfer speeds for the fastest FireWire and USB devices. Featuring three FireWire 800 (1394b) and three USB 2.0 ports (two external plus one internal, each), Tango Express 800 satisfies the demands of video and pro-audio applications, where high-speed and high-bandwidth data throughput are essential, and enables you to extract every ounce of performance from fast external drives, DV camcorders, and more.
Each of the Tango Express 800’s ports is independently powered and capable of supporting bus-powered peripherals (devices that can work without a separate power supply, including some external drives and scanners). And unlike hubs, each port provides full-bandwidth data throughput, so there is no performance penalty due to two or more devices sharing a single connection. Best of all, Tango Express 800 offers simple plug and play installation—you'll have more high-speed connections in minutes.
