Firewire Connector Pinout Hard, drive, install, specifications,

Connector pinout here

FireWire was developed by Apple systems (Apple)
 in the 1990s, after work defining a slower version of the interface by the IEEE 1394 committee in the 1980s. IEEE proposed the standard as a serial replacement for the SCSI bus. Apple's development was completed in 1995. It is defined in IEEE
6 pin firewire standard 1394 which is currently a composite of three documents: the original IEEE Std. 1394-1995, the IEEE Std. 1394a-2000 amendment, and the IEEE Std. 1394b-2002 amendment. Sony's implementation of the system is known as i.Link, and uses only the four signal pins, discarding the two pins that provide power to the device in favour of a separate power connector on Sony's i.Link products.

The system is commonly used for connection of data storage devices and digital video cameras, but is also popular in industrial systems for machine vision and professional audio systems. It is used instead of the more common USB due to its faster effective speed, higher power distribution capabilities, and because it does not need a computer host. Perhaps more importantly, FireWire makes full use of all SCSI capabilities and, compared to USB 2.0 High Speed, has higher sustained data transfer rates, a feature especially important for audio and video editors.

 4-Pin FireWire 400 connector.

This connector is not powered. FireWire can connect together up to 63 peripherals in an acyclic network structure (hubs, as opposed to SCSI's linear structure). It allows peer-to-peer device communication, such as communication between a scanner and a printer, to take place without using system memory or the CPU. FireWire also supports multiple hosts per bus. USB requires a special chipset to perform the same function, effectively resulting in the need for a unique4-Pin FireWire 400 connector. This connector is not powered. and expensive cable, whereas FireWire requires only a cable with the correct number of pins on either end - (normally 6). It is designed to support plug-and-play and hot swapping. Its six-wire cable is not only more convenient than SCSI cables but can supply up to 45 watts of power per port, allowing moderate-consumption devices to operate without a separate power cord. The Sony-inspired i.Link usually omits the power part of the cable/connector system and only uses a 4-pin connector.

FireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s data rates (actually 98.304, 196.608, or 393.216 Mbit/s, but commonly referred to as S100, S200, and S400). Although USB2 claims to be capable of higher speeds (480mb/s), FireWire is, in practice, faster. Cable length is limited to 4.5 metres but up to 16 cables can be daisy chained yielding a total length of 72 meters under the specification.

9-Pin FireWire 800 connector

The full IEEE 1394b specification supports optical connections up to 100 metres in length and data rates all the way to 3.2 Gbit/s. Standard category-5 unshielded twisted pair supports 100 metres at S100, and the new p1394c technology goes all the way to S800. The original 1394 and 1394a standards used data/strobe (D/S) encoding (called legacy mode) on the signal wires, while 1394b adds a data encoding scheme called 8B10B (also referred to as beta mode). With this new technology, FireWire, which was arguably already slightly faster, is now substantially fasterA 9-Pin FireWire 800 connector than Hi-Speed USB.

FireWire devices implement the ISO/IEC 13213 "configuration ROM" model for device configuration and identification, to provide plug-and-play capability. All FireWire devices are identified by an IEEE EUI-64 unique identifier (an extension of the 48-bit Ethernet MAC address format) in addition to well-known codes indicating the type of device and protocols it supports.

Firewire Connector Pinout

Two types of connectors are used with FireWire; 4 pin connector (consumer electronics), and a 6 pin connector (computers).

The 6 pin connector has the following pinout:
Pin 1; Power, 30volts
Pin 2; Ground
Pins 3, 4; B Twisted pair (-/+)
Pins 5, 6; A Twisted pair (-/+)
Cable shield

Pins 3/4 are crossed with pins 5/6 at the opposite ends of the cable. The transmitter sends clock [Strobe] on 3/4, and data on 5/6.

The pinout table for the 4-Pin and 6-Pin connector is not an interconnection table, it just defines the pinout. Use the schematic above to determine interconnection.
