Unibrain Firewire 800™ Cable
Firewire Cables

Unibrain produces reliable FireWire800 (IEEE-1394b) cables, offering cutting
edge design while using the most advanced manufacturing processes

Unibrain produces 1394b cables in these formats:

Unibrain’s FireWire cables offer superior features, due to better connectors, shielding and storage conditions:

  • Top quality connectors with high-density enclosures to eliminate an often under estimated source of noise
  • Outer shield and inner (foil and braid) ensures compliance with the latest FireWire standards, which reduces radio frequency and electro-magnetic interference
  • Careful storage and shipment procedures ensure that performance is not affected by accidental excessive bend radius

NEW! 1394b lock (screw-type) cable:
Unibrain introduces a new 4.5m (15 ft) IEEE-1394.b 9 pin to 9 pin cable with support for standard 1394b lock connector on both ends.
The cable is compatible with Sony XCD-V50 & XCD-V50CR 1394b cameras and with any 1394b camera in general.
The cable is equipped with high quality shielding and ferrites for the best possible EMI & noise suppression.

Exceeding the 4.5 meter cable length!

Unibrain firewire cables not only achieve a very controlled 110 Ohm impedance but also provide high performance for skew, attenuation and crosstalk. These latest features were not prerequisites when the first IEEE-1394/1395 specification was issued, at the time limiting the maximum cable length to 4.5 meters. Therefore we can now secure safe operation of our Firewire cable lengths up to 10 meters!

SPECIFICATION

  • Up to 800Mbps high speed data transmission
  • Multiple shielding and insulation for maximum speed without data loss
  • FireWire 800, 1394b compatible
  • Plug ’n play technology: Hot swap live devices, no terminator needed

Rules to build your cable network

  • Never exceed 63 nodes per bus
  • Never create a loop
  • Extend the cable length (more than 10m) using a repeater
  • Allow a maximum of 16 cables between any two nodes
  • Allow a maximum of 72 meter (cumulated cable lengths) between any two nodes

Operating Conditions
Temperature: 0' - 85' C (32' - 185' F)
Humidity: 95%
