Frequently Asked Questions - TP-400FW Kramer
What is the Kramer TP-400FW used for?
The TP-400FW is a FireWire (IEEE 1394) extender that transmits FireWire signals over standard Cat5e/6 twisted pair cables. It allows you to place FireWire devices up to 100 meters away from the source.
What type of cable is required for the TP-400FW?
The extender uses standard Cat5e or Cat6 UTP cable. For best performance, use a high-quality shielded twisted pair cable to minimize interference.
How far can the TP-400FW transmit FireWire signals?
It can transmit FireWire signals up to 100 meters (330 feet) when using a good-quality Cat5e/6 cable.
Does the TP-400FW support FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b)?
No, the TP-400FW is designed for FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) only. It does not support FireWire 800 speeds.
Can I connect multiple FireWire devices with the TP-400FW?
The TP-400FW provides a single FireWire port on each end. To connect multiple devices, you can use a separate FireWire hub at either end, but the extender itself supports only one device per transmitter/receiver pair.
How do I connect the TP-400FW transmitter and receiver?
Connect the transmitter to your FireWire source (e.g., a computer) and the receiver to the remote FireWire device. Link the two units by running a Cat5e/6 cable from the transmitter's RJ-45 output to the receiver's RJ-45 input.
Does the TP-400FW require an external power supply?
Yes, both the transmitter and receiver require a 5V DC, 1A external power adapter. Make sure to use the adapters provided with the product.
Can I use a 4-pin FireWire device with the TP-400FW?
The TP-400FW has 6-pin FireWire connectors. To connect a 4-pin device, you will need a 6-pin to 4-pin cable or adapter.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the TP-400FW?
It supports FireWire data rates of 100, 200, and 400 Mbps, commonly referred to as S100, S200, and S400.
Is the TP-400FW hot-swappable?
Yes, FireWire is designed for hot-swapping, and the TP-400FW maintains that capability. You can connect or disconnect devices while the system is powered on, but it is always safer to follow your device's recommended procedures.
