Waterproof FireWire connector system
19 October 2005
Interconnection
Bulgin's FireWire Buccaneer provides a high degree of environmental sealing for FireWire connections using standard IEEE 1394a interfaces with data rates to 400 Mbps. Dust and waterproof to IP68, the connector system is ideally-suited to industrial or hostile environments where a digital high data-rate combined with a robust and secure connection is required.
Originally designed for office bound multimedia type equipment, it has found its way into scanners, web cams, external hard drives and optical devices. But the 'realtime' ability for bi-directional, multispeed data transfer on the same single network connection provides a truly universal connection for almost any consumer or commercial peripheral application.
This flexibility has now moved from the home into industrial environments where hazards of water and dust are present. The new FireWire Buccaneer connectors meet this challenge. The screw coupling thread ensures a vibration and shock resistant connection, while sealing caps maintain the IP68 rating of the connectors when not in use.
Cables are of over-moulded construction, available in 2 m or 4 m lengths as standard, and offer secure tamperproof connections between sealed and unsealed 4 and 6 pole interfaces. Chassis-mounted connectors are terminated with adaptor leads for connection onto PCBs.
