FireWire speeds differ by generation, affecting conversion accuracy
-
T1C signals have a fixed rate of 1.544 Mbps, restricting dynamic data application
-
Conversion is mostly theoretical since both technologies operate on different physical and protocol layers
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does FireWire (IEEE-1394) represent?
-
FireWire (IEEE 1394) is a standardized serial bus interface for fast data transfers between devices, supporting both isochronous and asynchronous data streams often used in multimedia applications.
-
What is a T1C (signal)?
-
T1C is a digital carrier signal in telecommunications transmitting 1.544 Mbps by multiplexing 24 channels and commonly used for voice and data over leased lines.
-
Why convert FireWire speeds to T1C signals?
-
Users convert to compare or integrate high-speed peripheral data transfer rates with telecom line speeds, especially when connecting digital media systems with telecommunications infrastructure.
Key Terminology
-
FireWire (IEEE-1394)
-
An IEEE-standardized serial bus interface designed for high-speed data transfer often used in multimedia device connections and external drives.
