Electronic Links International Introduces New Adapter for Converting Coax Signals to 1394 Signals
Binghamton, NY- December 21, 2006 - Electronic Links International, Inc. today announced the introduction of an adapter capable of converting the existing coax signal to an IEEE 1394 signal. This early product is available for field trials now and production is scheduled for the middle of 2007.
The adapter uses a number of legacy ports for connection of CE devices:
- two, IEEE 1394a six-pin copper connectors providing also a maximum of 15W power
- one SMI Optical 1394b port for Plastic Optical Fibers
- one Coax F connector as interface to the residential coax wiring
The adapter is able to deliver data at a speed of 400 Mbit/s and "should greatly enhance the customer experience as we move into the digital space," said Francesco Liburdi, managing director of Electronic Links International. "This is in line with the analog spectrum deadline ending by February 17, 2009 as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission."
The adapter is fully-compliant with the set of 1394 over Coax specifications of the 1394 Trade Association, which introduced UltraWideBand technology for digital data transmission of coax wiring. The UWB chip set used on the adapter is provided by Pulse~LINK. Remaining hardware and software development of the adapter has been supported by Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden, Germany.
