Foil 54 Fiber Distributed Data Interface (2)

From Introduction to Networking Technologies CPS640 MultiMedia and Networking -- Spring Semester 1998. by Roman Markowski


FDDI-II is designed for networks that need to transport real-time video or traffic that cannot tolerate delays. Bandwidth is divided into up to 16 separate circuits that operate at from 6.144 Mbps each to a maximum 99.072 Mbps. Each of these channels can be subdivided further to produce a total of 96 64- Kbps circuits.
FDDI-II is incompatible with existing FDDI design.
CDDI - Copper Distributed Data Interface
  • media: TP-PMD UTP5
  • max interstation distance : 100m
Fiber optic cable
  • immune to electromagnetic interference
  • secure (does not emit a signal outside the cable)
  • multimode fiber - passes several frequencies of light (62.5/125 um)
  • singlemode fiber
