EqcoLogic 1394b dongles for long-haul over Coaxial Cable
Extend 1394b links up to 60
meters with power over cable
Implementation
EqcoLogic’s EQCO-FW7501 and EQCO-FW5001
are two extender solutions for FireWire over
coaxial cable, operating with 75Ω and 50Ω coax
cable respectively.
1394b over coax dongles are ideal for simple and easy
implementation of long-haul connections. Due to the
secure shielding of coaxial cable EqcoLogic’s 1394b
dongles can be used within electrically noisy
environments such as factories.
In addition to the long-haul fully duplex data
transmission, power can be transmitted
simultaneously from the host side to a target
(such as camera or hard drive) over the coax
cable.
The EqcoLogic coaxial extenders fully support
the IEEE1394b Standards.
The EQCO-FW7501 supports up to 60 meters of 75Ω
coaxial cable; the EQCO-FW5001 supports up to 30m of
50Ω coaxial cable. In both cases, the range is specified
at a data-rate of 1.0Gbit/s (S800).
When using the dongles, customers can determine the
best cable lengths for their applications. The EqcoLogic
transceiver contains an equalizer that is fully adaptive
and adjusts for various cable lengths as well as age and
environmental conditions like temperature, without
any need for programming. The dongles have a
standard 1394b 9-pin connector on one end and a 75Ω
BNC or 50Ω SMA connector on the opposite end.
These dongles are ideal for laboratory and Industrial
applications, such as Machine Vision and Factory
Automation, where robust cable cabling is required.
They can also be used with high flex small diameter
coaxial cable with rotating joints, if necessary, for
applications where multiple rotations are required.

Each unit contains a 1394b transceiver
(EQCO875SC or EQCO850SC) that can transmit
up to S800 speeds (1.0Gbit/s) fully duplex over a
single coax cable; the transceiver includes an
adaptive equalizer that supports up to 60m cable
length.
