IEEE 1394, also named Fire Wire, is a standard defining of a high-speed serial bus. It provides a Plug and Play-compatible expansion interface, which guarantees bandwidth ideal for consumer electronics audio/video (A/V) appliances, storage peripherals and portable devices…etc. The double-layer and full shielding isolation in 1394bconnector connector are to minimize the EMI problem.
In addition, 1394 equipped computers will offer:
1. Speed high communications up to 400 Mbps.
2. Self-configured addressing, which means users do not have to set address switches which might cause potential conflicts.
3. Allow connections up to 63 devices.
