Swann Firewire hub
I have an old Swann Firewire hub and was going to connect it to my computer. I wanted to use to connect multiple devices. I purchased this hub a few years ago and its been sitting in the basement for a while. When I put it in storage, I didn't keep the power brick with it. Which causes a dilemma, what power jack will I need? When I looked on the bottom of the hub it didn't have any specs. So I decided to search the Internet.
After searching several sites, I found the required power specs. It looks like the 12vV/1A is what will properly power up the device. I figure I post it here in case I needed this information in the future.
Here's the full details of the Firewire hub:
The Swann FireWire 6 Port Hub not only overcomes the 4.5M length limit in the 1394 standard for the user?s devices, but it offers 6 independent 1394 bus connections, each with a 400Mbps transfer rate.
