Molex offers a broad selection of IEEE 1394 connectors and standard cable assemblies.
IEEE 1394b |
 IEEE 1394b-2002 is the next generation of IEEE 1394 technology for higher speeds, powered cables and other new applications.
IEEE 1394b-2002 offers high bandwidth, peer-to-peer structure and device self-configuration and ID. The IEEE 1394b-2002 standard takes 1394 technology to the next level of performance while maintaining backward compatibility.
The new sockets, cable assemblies and plug components meet or exceed the IEEE 1394b-2002 specifications. Using Molex's innovative 9-pin interface, the 1394b system is capable of S3200 signaling over two differential channels.
The interface design incorporates a three-stage contact mating sequence to enable hot plug capabilities and to protect the signal pairs. Molex's 1394b-2002 is available in two keyed configurations:
- Beta: Higher speed advantage of connectivity to other beta devices
- Bilingual: Offers backward compatibility for legacy devices (1394 four pin or six pin)
OEMs and cable manufacturers are able to build their own 1394b cable assemblies by purchasing the IEEE 1394b-2002 plug component and harness kit. The harness kit consists of a ferrule and hermaphroditic backshell. Plug components are purchased separately.

IEEE 1394
 IEEE 1394, also named "Firewire" by Apple, and "i.Link" by Sony, is a standard I/O interface designed to service the demands of the emerging multimedia bus requirements. 1394 is unique in its ability to carry video and audio with assured quality, based on its high bandwidth capabilities. This simple to use, peer-to-peer connection system can carry a dense multimedia data stream between computers, video cameras, high-fidelity audio products and imaging devices at a maximum speed of 400Mbps.
The hot plugging capabilities of 1394 make it ideal as a consumer interface. A new node can be plugged in without powering down. When a new node is detected, all existing nodes on the bus sense it and know a change in bus topology has occurred. This makes 1394 very flexible allowing users to daisy chain nodes together on the fly.
