FDDI network cabling

The Physical Layer Medium Dependent standard specifies the constraints faced by a designer of an FDDI cable plant. These include fiber type system bandwidth and attenuation and connector type. In designing an FDDI cable plant an understanding of the PMD and the application is required. There are three major types of FDDI networks: backbone backbone wiring horizontal wiring and data center wiring. Each has a logical and physical configuration.© (1991) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.
