Firewire cable length up to 160m!

I guess this could be good for those with completely automated scope setups etc, and can sit inside while the scope does its stuff outside..

Normally, the length of a FireWire cable may not exceed 4.5 m. Today, we are proud to present two measures that allow this restriction to be overcome.

(1) New cables allow a maximum length of 10 m:

(2) Using repeaters, we are able to easily connect up to 16 cables:

Therefore, it is possible to bridge distances of up to 160 m, while maintaining the full bandwidth of 400 MBit/s.

As always, should you like to speak to us about any topic related to image processing, you can get our contact information from:

Wow. Imaging out of the cold. That would be nice

I use a 4.5m long 6 pin to 6 pin cable at the moment. In the cold it behaves not unlike an unruly coiled spring, but my ingenious cable routing skills and the sheer grunt of the EM200 can handle the springiness of the coiled cable.
