IEEE 1394 (FireWire)

The IEEE 1394 connector (8), also known as iLink
for rapid digital data exchange.
Note
Take care that the connector and the socket fit exactly to avoid damaging
the contacts. Because of its asymmetric form the plug only fits into the
socket in one position.

Application Options for IEEE1394

•
Connection of digital devices of the entertainment industry, such as set-top
speakers, digital video and camcorder, 'Digital 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 device can be plugged in or unplugged during operation (hot plugging).
•
The standard cord ('Shielded Twisted Pairs' –STP) includes 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 in these cases four pole plugs are used.
