Answer - D - The statement that is not true is that the total cable length with 16 cables connected in series is 500 feet.

Key Takeaway: IEEE 1394 connectors transfer data in speeds up to 800 Mbps and support up to 63 additional external devices. IEEE 1394 is hot swappable, which means it can be connected and disconnected without shutting down the PC.

The IEEE 1394AA standard defines two connectors: a four- and six-pin connector. The 1394A standard supports three transfer modes that include S100, S200, and S400. The IEEE 1394A specification limits the cable segment length of the six-pin connector to 15 feet. However, 16 cables can be connected in series using hubs or repeaters to a total cable length of 236 feet.
