AVT announces long distance Firewire cables

An Adept Electronic Solutions product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 16, 2008

AVT has introduced two long Firewire cables that can give a combined maximum length of 35m (114ft) enabling the use of Firewire for applications that were previously unsuitable.

The two 1394a cables are 12.5m and 17.5m in length, have latched connectors and can be independently used without any other accessories such as repeaters.

However, they can be joined with the use of an AVT repeater to give a 35m total cable length.

Both cables appear as standard Firewire cables but are able to support lossless data transfer for much longer distances.

These cables, like all of AVT's Firewire cables, feature heavy shielding to minimise EMC susceptibility.

If the repeater is used to create a 35m cable it does not require external power; it uses the power carried over the Firewire connection.

The cables are designed specifically to be used with any of the AVT IEEE 1394a camera families of Marlin, Oscar or Guppy, but can also be used with any of the AVT 1394b cameras.
