Networking With

A FDDI network can have a maximum of 500 stations. There are two types of optical fiber that can be used to interconnect the stations: Single-Mode and Multimode. When Single-Mode fiber is used the stations can be as much as 60 kilometers apart. With Multimode the stations must be no more than 2 kilometers apart. The stations are connected in a physical ring; with the transmitter port on one station generating a light signal that is carried on the optical fiber to the receiver port on the next station. The stations are interconnected into a star configuration using a device called a Concentrator.

FDDI LAN Architecture

FDDI
FDDI is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard. It defines a dual Token Ring LAN operating at 100 Mbps over an optical fiber medium.

FDDI Network Architecture


FDDI uses a dual-ring architecture. Traffic on each ring flows in opposite directions (called counter-rotating).

A FDDI network can have a maximum of 500 stations. There are two types of optical fiber that can be used to interconnect the stations: SingleMode and Multimode. When Single-Mode fiber is used the stations can be as much as 60 kilometers apart. With Multimode the stations must be no more than 2 kilometers apart.
