FDDI Bus Description

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 Data Bus Transfer Timing

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.
