Overview 

 

3.2  FireWire Compliance 

The

 PS-1FW

Fully supports the provisions of the IEEE 1394-1995 Standard for High 

Performance Serial Bus and the P1394a Supplement 
Is fully interoperable with FireWire™ and i.LINK™ implementation of 

IEEE Std 1394 
Is fully compliant with Open HCI requirements 
Provides P1394a Fully Compliant Cable Ports at 100/200/400 Megabits 

per Second (Mbits/s) 
Includes full P1394a support, that is, Connection Debounce, Arbitrated 

Short Reset, Multispeed Concatenation, Arbitration Acceleration, Fly-By 

Concatenation, Port Disable/Suspend/Resume 
Includes Extended Resume Signaling for Compatibility with Legacy DV 

Devices 
Includes built-in protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD)

by suppressing 

all transient high voltages down to the allowed level. In particular, ESD 

protection for high-speed data lines to IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) 15kV (air), 8kV 

(contact), IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 12A (8/20us), and IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT) 

40A (5/50ns)

 

3.3  Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance 

To achieve the best performance: 

Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference, 

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise 

levels (often associated with low quality cables) 
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may 

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer 

PS-1FW

 

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust 

 

 

 

Caution

 – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit. 

 

Warning

 – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power 

wall adapter that is provided with this unit

Warning

 – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall 

before installing or removing device or servicing unit. 

 

                                                       

 

1 When connecting a "live" DV source to a receptor, an electrical potential difference or any other element creating a high voltage 
(such as ESD or a live chassis) may permanently damage one or both of the connected devices. This high voltage may be seen as a 
spark occurring at the instant of connection, or may not be seen at all, but nevertheless can result in costly damage
