FA1394B Fiber Adaptor
[mechanical diagram]

Prosilica's FA1394B optical adaptor extends firewire transmission to 500 meters over fiber optic cable! The FA1394B will take any IEEE-1394 input and transmit it over fiber optic to the host computer. The FA1394B can be used to connect a standard IEEE-1394a device over 1394b-optical to a host computer (with a fiber optic interface such as Prosilica's PC1394B PCI card), or it can be used to connect one of Prosilica's 1394b-optical output cameras (CV1280F, CV640F, etc.) over fiber optic to the host computer's IEEE-1394 port.

There are three firewire connections on each unit: IEEE-1394b-optical, IEEE-1394a and IEEE-1394b-bilingual. Click here for a closer look.

The FA1394B package includes the adaptor unit and an auxiliary power supply. Fiber optic cable is available separately.

The FA1394B has mounting holes compatible with National Instruments DIN rail mount adaptor p/n: 189154-01
