SFP-1394A Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) MRV Communications, Inc. – IEEE 1394 SFP (FireWire / i.Link)

Datasheet
IEEE 1394 SFP (FireWire / i.Link)
Overview
MRV announces the first IEEE 1394b standard compliant SFP devices
in the industry.
The SFP-1394 transceivers work at the physical network layer. Using
bit-for-bit operations, they are transparent to other network devices.
They support range extension, topology changes, fiber-to-copper
media conversion, and a full range of data rates from 100 Mbps to
1600 Mbps.
FireWire is a “protocol of choice” for the aerospace and aviation
industries, and it is widely used in aircraft subsystem inter-
communication.
The SFP-1394 models provide three connector options: 6-pin, 4-
pin, and LC optical. The optical model transmits up to 150 meters
at a wavelength of 850 nanometers over 62.5-micron multi-mode
optical fiber. The copper media is limited to the IEEE 1394 standard
specifications.
