The Fibre Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) standard provides a 100 Mbit/s dualredundant local area network link with 4B/5B signalling over multimode fibre while the Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI) standard provides the same using MLT-3 signalling over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) copper cabling.
The range of FDDI PCI Adapters was developed and manufactured by SysKonnect of Germany and consists of the SK-54xx PCI 32-bit adapters and SK-5844 PCI-X 64-bit adapter.
The FDDI and CDDI Adapters are available in the following range of industry standard compliant formfactors :
A range of FDDI and CDDI Adapters is also available in the PMC and PCI-104 formfactors.
Architecture
The AMD Supernet 3 chipset is used to provide advanced features such as Synchronous Bandwidth Allocation (SBA) and End Station Support (ESS). The adapter has an advanced ASIC onboard that performs buffer management and PCI interfacing, thereby achieving high throughput.

| Note : At 10,5 mm, the SC connectors are taller than the PMC formfactor allows. This causes a slight mis-alignment of about 0,5 degrees, or 0,1 mm at the PMC connectors. Users are advised to establish whether this is a problem in their application, in which case we would recommend using FDDI adapters with ST connectors. | ||||||
