, by
suppressing all transient high voltages down to the allowed level. In particular,
ESD protection for high-speed data lines to IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD) 15kV (air),
8kV (contact), IEC 61000-4-5 (Lightning) 12A (8/20us), and IEC 61000-4-4
(EFT) 40A (5/50ns)
Achieving the best performance means:
 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 and positioning
your FireWire Repeater / HUB away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
4 Your FireWire Repeater / HUB
This section describes how to connect the FireWire Repeater / HUB. In
particular, how to:
 Connect the VS-4FW (see section 4.1)
 Connect the VS-6FW (see section 4.2)
 Connect the VS-8FW (see section 4.3)
1 Often when connecting a "live" DV source to a receptor, an electrical potential difference or any other element creating a
high voltage (such as ESD or a live chassis) may permanently damage one or both of the connected devices. This high voltage
may be seen as a spark occurring at the instant of connection, or may not be seen at all, but nevertheless can result in costly
damage
