The Solution for Tight Rack and Bag Clearances

The Datavideo CB-15D is a mission-critical accessory for videographers and engineers working with legacy FireWire equipment. In compact 1U racks or padded field recorder bags, there is often very little room behind the device. A standard straight cable can be forced against the back of the case, causing permanent damage to the port. The CB-15D’s "Right-Angle Down" connector exits the port vertically toward the floor, allowing for a much shallower and safer equipment footprint.

Maintaining Legacy Video Workflows

While many modern systems have moved to SDI or USB, the IEEE 1394a (FireWire) protocol remains the standard for many high-reliability Datavideo recorders and DV/HDV camera setups. The CB-15D ensures these reliable systems remain operational by providing a high-quality link that fits modern, compact mobile studio layouts. Its short 20cm length ensures the fastest possible data transfer with minimal signal degradation.

Professional Build for the Field

Field-reporting and mobile broadcasting demand components that won't fail under pressure. The CB-15D is manufactured with reinforced strain relief and precision-milled connectors, providing a secure, friction-locked fit. At an affordable $19.00 price point, it is an essential "toolbox" item for any broadcast engineer maintaining Datavideo mobile studios or portable recording kits.
