Description
CANFORD FIREWIRE FEEDTHROUGH PATCH AND TERMINATION PANELS
A range of panels supplied fully populated with feedthrough (also known as double-sided or back-to-back) FireWire / IEEE1394a sockets, enabling system patching and easy connection of portable or external equipment.
Manufactured from a lightweight but extremely rigid aluminium extrusion, panels are fitted with a cranked lacing-bar allowing easy access to the rear sockets. The connectors are arranged in equal groups either side of a central divide and a snap-on cover designation-strip holder is fitted above the connector row to permit the supplied paper strips to be inserted before or after installation; 7.5mm of printable height is available. Autocad templates for printing designation strips are available for download from the Tech Zone at www.canford.co.uk or by contacting Technical Support. Spare 432mm designation-strip paper (not suitable for printers) and covers are available, see 'Designation strips - snap on'.
Available finished in Dawn Grey (BS4800-10A03) or Black.
Recess rack-mounting brackets are available to recess panels within the rack and an optional tamper-proof cover-plate can be fitted and removed without disturbing the panel mountings, see 'Recess rack-mounting brackets and anti-tamper covers'.
Application note:
Care should be taken to ensure that cables fitted behind cover-plates are not bent below their recommended minimum bend radius.
FireWire is a serial data, 400Mb/s input/output system widely adopted by Canon, JVC, Sony and others for connecting cameras and camcorders to PCs, AppleMac and a variety of editing and storage devices.
