ANSI/INCITS 166-1990 Information Systems - Fibre Data Distributed Interface (FDDI) - Token Ring Physical Layer Medium Dependent (PMD) Replaces ANSI X3.166:1900
Specifies Physical Layer, Medium Dependent (PMD) requirements for the Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). The FDDI provides a high-bandwidth (100 Mbit/s) general-purpose interconnection among computers and peripheral equipment using fibre optics as the transmission medium. The FDDI may be configured to support a sustained transfer rate of approximately 80 Mbit/s (10 Mbyte/s). It may not meet the response time requirements of all unbuffered high-speed devices. The FDDI establishes the connection among many FDDI nodes (stations) distributed over distances of several kilometers in extent.
