FireWire Panel-Mount to Header

The 1390 series cable is an IEEE-1394 6-pin female to 5-pin socket cable, used to transform a motherboard's FireWire pin headers into a mounted FireWire jack.

These cables are an ideal method to add FireWire ports for easy removal of portable devices, especially in OEM enclosures and integrated systems.

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 a FireWire cable, and ensures the highest speeds with minimal noise and signal loss.

This cable is IEEE-1394A (iLink) compliant, for speeds up to 480 Mbps

No threading is required on the plate, because the mounting FireWire connector has embedded 4-40 nuts and comes with the necessary hardware.

The panel-mount cable features an enlarged hood on the female end for mounting into a face plate, and within the hood a 6-pin female FireWire port. The motherboard connector features 5-pin sockets for mounting directly onto a PCB board.

Cables designed for high-speed bandwidth, for connecting to computers, hard drives, and CD drives, typically use the 6-pin connector. Smaller devices, like portable hard drives and smaller camcorders and laptops, more commonly use the 4-pin connector.
