MultiDyne DV-1394 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MULTIDYNE DV-1394 Optical Repeater. The
MULTIDYNE DV-1394 Optical Repeater is the newest in optical technology and IEEE 1394
technology. Utilizing a IEEE1394 PHY and an optical transceiver, the DV-1394 is capable of
sending IEEE1394 signals across a fiber optic cable up to 500 meters in length. The DV-1394 is
contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which makes it unobtrusive and
compact, allowing you to place it on a already crowded desktop.

Power of the DV-1394
The DV-1394 can also be used as a standard two-port IEEE1394 repeater, extending your signal an
additional 4.5 meters for copper connection. The real power, however, is in its optical connection.
Setting up the DV-1394 is quite simple. Using an MTRJ connector, which has only one connector
instead of two like the SC-type connectors, plugging in the
