Your FireWire Repeater / HUB | Kramer Electronics VS-8FW, VS-4FW

Your FireWire Repeater / HUB

Include built-in protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD)1, 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)

Achieving the best performance means:

Connecting 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)

Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances and positioning your FireWire Repeater / HUB away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This section describes how to connect the FireWire Repeater / HUB. In particular, how to:

Connect the VS-4FW(see section 4 .1)

Connect the VS-6FW(see section 4 .2)

Connect the VS-8FW(see section 4 .3)

1 Often 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
