1394 Cabling
The 1394 standard has a maximum connection cable length of 4.5 meters (15 feet). This
means this is the maximum distance between devices.
If you need to connect two devices more than 4.5 meters apart, you can use a repeater to
extend the cable length between the devices.
Cable Types
There are two types of 1394/FireWire cable. One type, 6-pin to 6-pin, supplies power to the
device it connects to. The other type is 6-pin to 4-pin, for devices that are self-powered and do
not require power from the 1394/FireWire bus.
If you connect devices in a daisy chain and any device needs power from the cabling, all
cabling must be 6-pin to 6-pin. If you use a repeater, you can use either type.
Power Considerations
The 1394/FireWire bus provides limited electrical power through the connector cables, as
noted above. Some devices will have their own power supplies. Other devices may need more
power than is available from the bus and can be powered from a powered repeater.
Make sure to check the power requirements of any devices you plan to use before you connect
them. Consult the device documentation for this information and the connection instructions.
8.0 Troubleshooting
1. Q: Why the 1394 adapter can’t be detected?
A: Insert the 1394 adapter firmly into the PCI/PCMCIA slot.
2. Q: Why the 1394 adapter has not been installed correctly?
A: IEEE 1394 is only fully supported in Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows ME,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP or later version. Please upgrade your system.
3. Q: Why the connected IEEE 1394 (Fire Wire) device can’t be detected?
A: Connect the FireWire cable correctly. Install the driver provided with your FireWire
device. Also see the instruction manual provided with the device. Maybe some software
need DirectX 8.1 for the best support for FireWire devices.
4. Q: Why no image is obtained form the camera in video software?
A: Connect the FireWire cable correctly to the camera and the 1394 adapter. Turn the
camera on before starting your video software. Select the camera in your video software
and select the necessary settings.
5. Q: Why no sound is obtained from the camera in video software?
A: Connect the camera’s sound output to the “LINE-IN” on your sound card.
