FDDI [Fiber Distributed Data Interface] is a Local Area Network
(LAN) using Fiber-Optic cable in a [Dual] Token Ring topology.
Traffic in each ring flows in opposite directions (counter-rotating).
The dual-rings
consist of a primary and a secondary ring. The primary ring is used for
data transmission, while the secondary ring remains idle.
The data rate is 100 Mbit/sec. Transmission is defined in a data frame,
using (NRZI) (which
is self clocking). FDDI uses 4B / 5B encoding.
FDDI-2, supports the transmission of voice and video information.
Also FFDT; FDDI Full Duplex Technology.
Also CDDI; Copper Distributed Data Interface
Also SDDI; Shielded twisted-pair Digital Data Interface. Same as
CDDI,
CDDI uses MLT-3 line coding, which is a three-voltage-level encoding
scheme. CDDI uses Shielded Twisted Pair [STP] at 150 ohm impedance, per
EIA/TIA 568 or Unshielded Twisted Pair [UTP]
at Category 5; per EIA/TIA 568, with a maximum length of 100 meters
The official name for CDDI is:
Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent [TP-PMD] or
Fiber-Distributed Data Interface [TP-DDI]
FDDI Tutorial {FDDI Consortium}
FDDI Info {ARC Electronics}
Data is sent NRZI. A change in the data level indicates a logic 1, no
change indicates a logic 0.
The data is sampled every 8nS. CDDI uses
MLT-3 line coding, which is a three-voltage-level encoding scheme.
