FastBus {IEEE Std 960-1993 Defines the Mechanical, Electrical, and Protocol layers. FastBus used a 32 bit address and data bus. A standard rack-mountable crate had 26 slots. The backplane used asynchronous ECL signals. This bus is out-dated but still in operation ~ not recommended for new designs.}

FC Bus {Fibre Channel [FC] Bus description. A bi-directional interface operating up to 1.0625Gbps running over fiber or copper.}

FDDI Protocol {Fiber Distributed Data Interface Protocol Standard-IC Links}

Fiber Channel {Fibre Channel runs at speeds as high as 2.125 Gbps [200 Mbytes/sec] over twisted-pair copper or optical-interconnect, optical distances up to 10 km. Fibre Channel is used in SANs, storage-area networks. Used for transferring data to workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, desktop computers, storage devices, displays and peripherals}

Field Bus(s) {Serial Industrial Field Bus Standards}

FireWire Bus {IEEE 1394 Bus Standard using CAT5 cable allows 100Mbps over 100m}

Flexbus {was developed to connect SONET/SDH physical layer (PHY) framer and mapper ICs to link layer devices such as SARs and network processors for asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), packet over SONET (POS), and Ethernet applications. Flexbus 3 operates at 2.5Gbps (OC-48); Flexbus 4; SPI-4 operates at 10Gbps (OC-192).}

FlexRay Bus {is a Point-to-Point [Star topology] 10Mbps [Fault-Tolerant] Automotive bus, running over UTP or STP cable.}

Floppy Drive {Pinout for the PC Floppy Drive}

FPDI-1 [Flat Panel Display Interface] {describes the electrical, logical, and connector interface between flat panel displays and display controllers in an integrated environment.}

FPDP {FPDP; Front Panel Data Port, 32-bit synchronous front panel data bus w/ 160MBytes/sec, differential PECL, over a 80 pin front panel connector, a 1 meter ribbon cable}

FSB {Front Side Bus provides an interface between the processor and Northbridge chipset in personal computers. The Intel Pentium class of processors use a FSB and Northbridge chipset combination while AMD processors have an integrated on-board Northbridge like interface. The AMD processor use the HyperTransport interface instead of a FSB interface. Processors communicate over the FSB to the Northbridge chipset, the Northbridge then communicates with the memory ICs and other PC buses [PCI, AGP].}


FTTH {Fiber to the Home is nothing more than fiberoptic cable running to the customers premises. Most residences currently have coax cable running to there house, FTTH would change that to fiber cable. However FTTH could also include the phone companies with the fiber coming from the central office. For most houses having fiber cable coming into the house from the cable company is many years away. Look back a decade ago when the cable operators started laying copper cable, and how long it took as each neighborhood to begin receiving cable. }

Futurebus {Is a back-plane bus specification.}

An alphabetic listing of released interface buses. Primarily the links point to pages that describe the physical and electrical interfaces. Interface Bus protocols are normally not addressed.
