Introduction

FWB-UTPS400 is two FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394b) to one RJ45 port S400 Repeater.

FWB-UTPS400 enables 1394 signals to be transmitted and received over Cat5 or Cat6 Unshielded Twisted- Pair (UTP) cable.
FWB-UTPS400 is optimized to create long-haul IEEE 1394b-2002 connections over Cat5 or Cat6 at the S400 data rate, but it can also be used at S200 and S100.
FWB-UTPS400 also works for Cat5-structured wiring cable that is typically installed in a home or office.

  • Power Input Range: DC 8V~30V, max. 3A
  • Power Consumption: Under 3 Watts.
  • IEEE 1394 Power Class::
    • FWB-UTPS400 was designed with 1394 power class 4 (PC0 ~ PC2 = 100).
    • FWB-UTPS400 is a bus-powered device, it could be powered from DC Jack/ FireWire (IEEE 1394) bus and will repeat the power to FireWire (IEEE 1394) bus.
    • Power Class Descriptions: Node may be powered from the bus for the PHY only using up to 3W and may also provide power to the bus. The amount of bus powerthat it provides can be found in the configuration ROM. * Each IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port is protected by one 1.35A/33V Fuse.
  • Power & Link LEDs
