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.

Important Notes:
- ONLY use the SensAble supplied FireWire data cables to connect the PCC to your computer
- SensAble highly recommends that customers using the PCC purchase a 1394a FireWire card with VIA chipset
- You cannot daisychain from the Desktop's parallel port when using the PCC. Each Desktop requires its own PCC
