Abstract
A terminal connection box for connecting a computer and an external peripheral device. The terminal connection box comprises: a plurality of side walls forming a housing, an enhanced signal circuit located inside the housing for converting and boosting signals, a first cable connecting the enhanced signal circuit and the computer, and a 1394 type plug connecting the enhanced signal circuit and the external peripheral device. The 1394 type signals coming from the external peripheral device are boosted and converted by the enhanced signal circuit so as to be compatible to the computer. Signals coming from the computer are boosted and converted into 1394 type signals by the enhanced signal circuit so as to be compatible to the external peripheral device. Such that the external peripheral device and the computer can perform bi-directional intercommunications with their signal boosted by the enhanced signal circuit.
