Our customer is planning on going to FDDI over the next 2 years.
They are impressed with our recent announcements, both product
and program; however they have miles of 50/125 fiber installed
and they have no intention of pulling new 62.5/125 fiber.
Do we have any plans to support 50/125?
Perhaps via an analagous service to DTAC? (FTAC?) ;-)
I hope the answer is not "walk away from the deal"...
Thanks, Stan

Appendix A of the DECconnect System Fiber Optic Planning and
Configuration Guide (EK-DECSY-FP) has most of the information your
customer would need to know if their installed fiber would suuport
FDDI. Don't walk away, help them determine if the old cable is capable.
If you need further assistance, DTAC will help with fiber as well.

We most definitely support FDDI over 50/125. One of the Field Test
sites (CERN) had only 50/125 in their campus. The T&N Buyer's Guide
and the product datasheets list the power budgets for all four
multimode fiber sizes, including 50/125.
