What type of connection is FireWire associated with?

FireWire is associated with IEEE 1394, which is a standard for high-speed data transfer over a cable connection. This technology was developed to enable fast and efficient data transfer between devices, such as computers and peripherals. FireWire allows for the connection of multiple devices in a daisy-chain configuration, supporting both audio and video data streams at high speeds.

The IEEE 1394 standard specifies various data rates and types of connections, including both 400 Mbps (FireWire 400) and 800 Mbps (FireWire 800), making it suitable for applications that require substantial bandwidth, such as video editing and transferring large files. This connection type was prevalent in older Apple hardware and is recognized for its reliability and performance in professional environments.

In contrast, the other choices represent different technologies that serve distinct purposes. USB 3.0 is a standard for universal serial bus connections, Bluetooth is a wireless technology for short-range communication, and HDMI is a standard primarily used for transmitting audio and video data between devices. Each of these options operates on different protocols and methods, distinguishing them from the FireWire technology associated with IEEE 1394.
