IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire)
Diagram reference: F, F2
The IEEE 1394 connector, also known as iLink
®
or Fire Wire, is a
serial bus standard used for rapid digital data exchange.
Application options for IEEE1394
• Connection of digital devices of the entertainment industry,
such as set-top speakers, digital video and camcorder, ‘Digi-
tal Versatile Disk’ (DVD), television etc.
• Multimedia applications and video processing.
• Input and output devices such as printers, scanners, etc.
Technical specifications
• Depending on the application, the maximum data transfer is
about 100, 200 or 400 Mbit/s, corresponding to a data
throughput of up to 50 MB per second.
• The standardised cord (‘Shielded Twisted Pais’ –STP) in-
cludes 6 strands. Two lines are live (8V up to 40V, 1.5 A
max.) and can be used as an external power supply. The
four signal lines transfer data or control information. Some
devices do not require a power supply via the cord so that
four pole plugs are use.
• The voltage output of the 6-pole IEEE 1394 jack is protected
by a fuse (limited power source according to EN60950).
Note
The IEEE 1394 ports located at the front of you PC
can only be used separately. A simultaneous use is not
possible.
