PHANTOM® Communication Converter (PCC)

The PHANTOM Communication Converter (PCC) is a custom designed converter that provides FireWire® compatibility to SensAble PHANTOM parallel port devices. This converter includes active componentry that converts signals intended for parallel ports (EPP, IEEE-1284) to be sent and received to and from FireWire ports (IEEE-1394a) on a host computer.
