Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) fiber optic patchcords are used in high-speed network technology that runs at 100 Mbps over fiber-optic cabling. They are often used for network backbones in local area networks (LANs) or metropolitan area networks (MANs).
Features:
- High-Speed Data Transfer: Capable of 100 Mbps, with the potential to extend to 200 Mbps using dual rings
- Dual Ring Topology: Consists of a primary ring for data transmission and a secondary ring for backup, providing fault tolerance
- Fault Tolerance: Automatically reconfigures to use the secondary ring in case of a primary ring failure
Applications:
- Network Backbones: For reliable and high-speed data transfer in LANs and MANs
- Campus Networks: Implementing dual token-passing rings for robust network infrastructure
- Telecommunications: Ensuring high-quality connections for data transmission
