IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire)

Diagram reference: I
The IEEE 1394 connector, also known as iLink
rapid digital data exchange.

Application Options for IEEE1394


Connection of digital devices of the entertainment industry, such as set-top speak-
ers, 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.

The voltage output of the 6-pole IEEE 1394 jack is protected by a fuse (limited
power source according to EN60950).
