Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the MULTIDYNE DV-1394 Optical Repeater. The
MULTIDYNE DV-1394 Optical Repeater is the newest in optical technology and IEEE 1394
technology. Utilizing a IEEE1394 PHY and an optical transceiver, the DV-1394 is capable of
sendin g IE E E1 3 94 si g na ls a cr o ss a fi be r op ti c ca b le u p t o 50 0 m e t er s in length. The DV-1394 is
contained within a small box slightly larger than a deck of cards, which ma kes it u n o b t rusive and
compact, allowing you to place it on a already crowded desktop.

Power of the DV-1394
The DV-1394 can also be used as a standard two-port IEEE1394 repeater, extending your signal a n
additional 4.5 meters for copper connection. The real power, however, is in its optical conn ection.
Setting up the DV-1394 is quite simple. Using an MTRJ connector, which has only one connector
instead of two like the SC-type connectors, plugging in the
