Cable assembly supports Firewire standard
A low-cost, RoHS-compliant cable assembly,
from GTK, is now available to support the
IEEE 1394 interface standard otherwise
known as FireWire, or i.link.
The standard, which is a high-speed serial
bus delivering data transfer rates up to 400
Mbits/s, is ubiquitous on new PCs for
connection to high speed peripherals, and is
critical for video and audio streaming over
peer-to-peer networks. |
GTK's IEEE1394 cable assemblies include 4-
to 4-, 4- to 6- and 6- to 6-way cable
connectors, with the 4-pin interconnect
incorporating two separately shielded
twisted-pair transmission lines. Two power
conductors, carrying 1.5A at up to 40V, are
added by the 6-pin interconnect for an
isolated remote device. Moreover, end
connectors have been asymmetrically
designed to ensure correct connection, and
may be supplied with a retention catch if
required.
Options include a wide range of cable
lengths and colours, with the possibility of
colour-coded end and PCB connectors. The
assemblies are suitable for use on PC
motherboards as well as set-top boxes,
games consoles, camcorders, and digital
TVs.
