Kramer Electronics VS-4FW - Manual (Page 7)

Your FireWire Repeater / HUB
5
Include built-in protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD) 1 , 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
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit 2 .
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
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
2 For example: model number AD2512C, part number 2535-000251
