• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
4 Your FireWire Switcher
The high quality CVG-FW4x4 4x4 FireWire Switcher is a mechanical 4x4
switcher for FireWire signals, using 6-pin FireWire connectors. In particular,
the CVG-FW4x4:
• Is designed for applications requiring a compact desktop unit for routing
FIRE WIRE signals
1
between any one of 4 sources to any one of 4 acceptors
2
• Is ideal for high speed data signals up to 400 MB/s
• With its high quality switching components and carefully designed
circuits, provides excellent isolation between inputs
• With its unpowered design is advantageous for applications in which
various regulatory compliances would otherwise be required
