FB1394B Fiber Bridge Set
[mechanical diagram]

Prosilica's FB1394B Fiber Bridge Set extends firewire transmission to 500 meters over fiber optic cable!* The FB1394B will take any IEEE-1394 input and transmit it over fiber optic (1394b-optical) and output to the host computer's standard IEEE-1394 port.

There are three firewire connections on each unit: IEEE-1394b-optical, IEEE-1394a and IEEE-1394b-bilingual.

The FB1394B package includes the repeater pair (two units) and two power supplies. Fiber optic cables must be ordered separately and are available from Prosilica in various lengths.

*longer distances up to 1000 meters may be possible, but this has not been tested by Prosilica.

The FB1394B units have mounting holes compatible with National Instruments DIN rail mount adaptor p/n: 189154-01
