8 VS-30FW - Using the VS 30FW FireWire 800/1394b Repeater / HUB
5.1 Powering the FireWire Devices
Each FireWire device can derive its power in one of two ways:
• Independently, by connecting each FireWire device to its own power supply,
while the VS 30FW is connected to the external 12VDC (12V, 500mA) power
supply (supplied with the VS 30FW)
• Via the VS 30FW that is connected to an external powerful power supply: the
12VDC (12V, 2.1A) (optional with the VS 30FW). In this case, each of the (up
to) 3 FireWire devices can derive its power (up to 1A per port) from the
respective VS 30FW FireWire port
