795.0. "FDDI connector cable key type?" by ANGLIN::MILLER (Dale R. Miller) Wed Nov 18 1992 17:17

    What is the FDDI connector key type on the DECconcentrator 500 DEFCN?
    The customer says there are "M", "S" and "D" type keys?
    
    Thanks,

    On DEFCN-M*, there is an A port and a B port.
    
    All other DEFCN modules have four to six M ports.
    
    The keys shipped with multimode FDDI cables are labeled A, B, and M. A
    connector without a key is type S, and will work with all four port
    types. Installing the keys will prevent incorrect cable connections,
    however, key installation certainly isn't mandatory.
    
    There is no D type key in FDDI.
