Elka, MainSuper Ltd. Join Comoss, Newnex in Earning 1394a
Cable Compliance Logo from the 1394 Trade Association
Dallas, Nov. 27, 2007 – Elka International and MainSuper Co.
Ltd. of Taiwan, which have become leading suppliers of 1394-equipped cable and
connector products, are the latest companies to earn the 1394 Trade
Association’s compliance logo for their 1394a cables and connectors. The
compliance logo indicates that specific products comply with the 1394 Trade
Association’s Cable and Connector Compliance Test Specification.
Elka and MainSuper join Comoss and Newnex Corporation in completing the
compliance test program. Elka was awarded the compliance logo for their
6-circuit and 4-circuit cable assemblies. Main Super has been awarded the logo
for its 6-circuit and 4-circuit connectors.
“We continue to make significant progress in ensuring that the leading cable
and connector suppliers meet the compliance requirements,” said James Snider,
executive director of the 1394 Trade Association. “All 1394-equipped products
– from hard drives to cameras to scanners to computers – must use cables and
connectors that meet our compliance requirements in order to be certified as
1394-compliant. Having the leading connector and cable manufacturers step up
to this requirement is a very positive development.”
Based in Taiwan, Elka International Ltd., has 33 years experience in audio,
video, communication and electronic cable assembly products. www.elka.com.tw
MainSuper Co. Ltd. has more than 20 years of worldwide experience in designing
and manufacturing connectors for a wide range of applications.

The announcement was made at the quarterly 1394 Trade Association meeting,
which was held in Taipei Nov. 13-16 and hosted by Elka, Comoss, MainSuper and
ETC, a leading Taiwan-based test organization.
The Compliance Logo Program complements the IEEE 1394a standard. Companies can
submit their cables and connectors to one of three certified test
organizations – ETC, Contech Research or NTS – for certification.
The Cable and Connector Working Group of the 1394 Trade Association is now
developing the process for 1394b cable/connector compliance. It is set to
begin in early 2008. For more information about the 1394 Trade Association,
