Overview  
The high quality Kramer TOOLSTP-330FW FireWire Range Extender/HUB  
is a truly unique product that lets you extend the standard 4.5m (13.5ft) FireWire  
range to 80m (262ft) with speeds of up to 400Mbps (see Figure 2) using common,  
inexpensive TP cable.  
The TP-330FW FireWire Range Extender/HUB is based on FireWire which:  
Is a serial bus standard1 that enables quick, universal interfacing between  
digital video, audio and data, and computer hardware items2  
Is simple to use and operates independently of the host system  
Supports Plug and Play3, hot swapping4 and isochronous5 and asynchronous  
applications  
In particular, the TP-330FW:  
Supports the provisions of the IEEE 1394a-2000 and 1394-1995 Standard for  
High Performance 1394 Serial Bus up to 400Mbps  
Enables 1394 400Mbps signals to be transmitted and received over extended  
distances on twisted pair cable  
Includes built-in protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD)6, by  
suppressing all transient high voltages to allowed levels  
To achieve the best performance:  
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely  
influence signal quality  
Position your TP-330FW away from moisture, excessive sunlight, and dust  
3.1  
Shielded Twisted Pair and Unshielded Twisted Pair  
Standard STP or UTP cable should be used. Do not use skew-free cable.  
Although Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable might be preferred for long range  
applications, UTP cable should be installed as far as possible from electric cables,  
motors, and so on, as these devices tend to create electromagnetic interference.  
However, since the use of UTP cable might not conform to electromagnetic  
standards, Kramer does not commit to meeting the standard with UTP cable.  
1 Originally developed by Apple™ and published as IEEE 1394 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers  
2 Hardware items include digital cameras, computers, printers, VCRs, CD-ROMs, hard disks, scanners, and graphic cards  
3 When a device is added or removed, the 1394 bus re-enumerates and configures automatically  
4 You can connect and disconnect inputs and outputs dynamically, without having to restart the PC or cycle power  
5 Video/audio applications require constant transfer rates, which the serial bus provides by supporting isochronous transfers  
6 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

About the Power Connect™ Feature  
The Power Connect™ feature here means that only one unit in a system, the  
transmitter or receiver, needs to be connected to a power source when the devices  
are within 50m (164ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long  
as the cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 50m on standard  
CAT 5 cable. For longer distances, heavy gauge cable should be used1.  
Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance  
To achieve the best performance:  
Connect 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)  
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your  
TP-330FW away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust  
1 CAT 5 cable is still suitable for the video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances

Connecting FireWire Devices via Two TP-330FW Units  
To connect two FireWire devices via two TP-330FW units over an extended  
distance as shown in the example in Figure 2:  
Figure 2: Connecting FireWire Devices via Two TP-330FW Units  
1. On the first TP-330FW connect the FireWire device (for example, a video  
camcorder) to FW PORT 1 or FW PORT 2.  
2. On the second TP-330FW connect the FireWire device (for example, a  
computer workstation) to FW PORT 1 or FW PORT 2.  
3. Connect the two TP-330FW units together via the CAT 5 PORTs on the rear  
panel using STP/UTP cable with a maximum length of 100m (328ft).  
4. Connect the first 12V DC power adapter to the first TP-330FW and to the  
mains supply.  
5. If more than 50m (164ft) away from the first TP-330FW—connect the  
second 12V DC power adapter to the second TP-330FW and to the mains  
supply.

The ON LEDs light green indicating that they are receiving power  
—and—

The CAT 5 LINK LEDs light green indicating that a CAT 5 link has been  
established between the units  
Notes:  
You can connect two FireWire devices simultaneously to a TP-330FW,  
however, only one device can be active at a time  
There is no need to install the Kramer PT-1FW DV Line Protector on the  
STP/UTP as the TP-330FW already contains built-in line protection  
You can connect devices with 1394b (FireWire 800) bilingual interfaces at  
speeds of up to 400Mbps. The FireWire cable used must have a bilingual  
connector on one side and a 1394a 6-pin connector on the other side

Wiring the TP LINE IN/LINE OUT RJ-45 Connectors  
Table 2 and Figure 3 define the TP RJ-45 wiring that is different to the standard  
EIA/TIA 568B wiring. When using STP cable, connect/solder the cable shield to  
the RJ-45 connector shield.
