743.0. "Status of the TP-PMD specs?" by FROCKY::WILTRUD () Tue Oct 13 1992 10:09

    Hello,
    
    one of our customers plans a new cable infrastructure for data cable
    they wnat to use UTP cable as they are described in 10 Base T. Will
    Digital offer FDDI components which will support this type of cable? 
    
    What is the actuel status of the TP-PMD development for FDDI? Will it
    be possible to have FDDI over the UTP cable? What is Digital's official
    position? I know that we've recommended a STP-FDDI spec as described in
    note 731.
    
    Thanks for any input

    Digital is very much interested in an ANSI standard for FDDI over
    shielded and unshielded twisted pair.  In fact, one of our employees
    Bill (LEVERS::B_CRONIN) heads the committee.  He's been pretty good
    about posting updates of the committee's work to this Notes conference.
    The last such entry is note 688.
