Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) - Token Ring Twisted Pair Physical Layer Medium Dependent (TP-PMD) (formerly INCITS 263-1995 (R2005))
Specifies Twisted Pair Physical Layer Medium Dependent (TP-PMD) requirements for the Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). FDDI provides a high-bandwidth (100 Mbit/s) general-purpose interconnection among computers and peripheral equipment using fibre optics and twisted pair as the transmission medium. FDDI can be configured to support a sustained data transfer rate of at least 80 Mbit/s (10 Mbyte/s). It may not meet the response time requirements of all unbuffered high-speed devices. FDDI provides connectivity for many nodes distributed over distances of several kilometers in extent. Default values for FDDI were calculated on the basis of 1 000 physical links and a total fibre path length of 200 km (typically corresponding to 500 nodes and 100 km of dual fibre cable).
