FireWire Panel-Mount Extension

Technical Documents I agree to the Terms of Service.

The 1398 series cable is an IEEE-1394 6-pin Male to 6-pin female cable, used as a FireWire extension cable in which the female (socket) end can be mounted on a face plate, a wall plate, or a bulkhead surface.

These cables are an ideal method to panel-mount FireWire ports for easy access to / removal of portable devices. Popular for video editing suites, production studios, and scenarios in which external FireWire enclosures play a strong role, these panelmount cables are clean and easy for no-fuss termination and usability.

These cables have a black PVC jacket, and are shielded by both a foil wrap and a braid wrap. This is the highest grade of shielding available for this type of cable. In house tests have run these cable in 60-foot chains without signal loss or degradation-- four times the maximum specification length of 15 feet.

This cable is IEEE-1394A (iLink) compliant.

No threading is required on the plate, the connector has embedded 4-40 nuts. The required 4-40 screws are included with the cable.

The 6-pin male connector is a flat-looking rectangle that has a beveled "D" shape on one side. The panel-mount cable features an enlarged hood on the female end for mounting into a face plate.

Cables designed for high-speed bandwidth, for connecting to computers, hard drives, and CD drives, typically use the 6-pin connector.

These panel-mount FireWire cables have a bulkhead connector designed to mate snugly with our FireWire face plates.

• Allowable panel depth: 2.5mm (full mating)
