EQCO400T8
1.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The EQCO400T8 is ideally suited for long-haul IEEE
1394b-2002 connections over Category 5 or Category
6 Ethernet cable at the S400 data rate. It can also be
used at S200 and S100 data rates over even longer
cables, as illustrated in the typical long-haul connection
in Figure 1-1. The EQCO400T8 connects seamlessly
to any IEEE 1394b-2002 compliant physical layer
controller (PHY).
The achievable connection reach with the
EQCO400T8 depends on the input jitter tolerance of
the IEEE 1394 PHY and the quality of the connectors
and cables used. Figure 1-1 shows the typical
performance with CAT5e and CAT6 cables under
nominal conditions.
