Network Connection Considerations
Fiber Distributed Data Interface Connections
Multimode FDDI network processor modules provide either a dual-attachment station (DAS) or a
single-attachment station (SAS). Single-mode FDDI network processor modules provide a DAS.
Following are the available FDDI module options:
• Multimode dual-attachment
• Multimode single-attachment
• Single-mode dual-attachment
The multimode FDDI network processor module consists of two cards, each with a multimode
transceiver, with one card fitting on top of the other. The bottom card is the SAS and contains the
PHY-A port. If the DAS option is included, the PHY-B port is located on the module’s top card.
Distance Limitations for FDDI Connections
The distance limitations for single-mode and multimode FDDI stations are shown in Table 2-5. If
the distance between two connected stations is greater than the maximum distance shown,
significant signal loss can result. The single-mode transmitter and the multimode transceiver each
provide 11 dB of optical power.
Table 2-5 FDDI Maximum Transmission Distances
FDDI Cable Connections
The XMTR and RCVR ports of the single-mode network processor module (see Figure 2-24) use
simplex FC-type connectors (see Figure 2-25). The ports accept standard 8.7 to 10/125-micron
single-mode fiber-optic cable, supporting connections at distances up to 6 miles (10 kilometers).
