943.0. "Copper FDDI standard update" by LEVERS::B_CRONIN () Tue Apr 27 1993 10:29

    Here's the bimonthly update on the TP-PMD standards meeting.
    This meeting was one where work in progress is reported, and
    few decisions get made. 
    
    The connector pinouts were chosen at this meeting. The UTP 
    will use an RJ45, with transmit on pins 1&2, and receive on 
    pins 7&8. The STP will use a 9 pin D-sub, with transmit on
    pins 5&9, receive on pins 1&6. 
    
    Work continues on the transmit spec, and the receive spec, so
    there is nothing new there. The transmit level was decided
    at the last meeting to be 2.0 V p-p. 
    
    More after the June meeting.

943.2Yes, it isLEVERS::MELARAGNIThu May 06 1993 07:320
943.3Will be support / build it?ECACAD::HenrySend mail to WKRP::HENRYWed Aug 04 1993 09:0721
I have two questions.....

1 - Is there an update on the status of UTP cabling from the June Standards 
    Meeting?

2 - What is DIGITAL's OFFICIAL position on hardware support for a UTP 
    standard.  In other words are there planned products in the short 
    term that will be designed and sold that will integrate UTP FDDI into 
    let say the DEChub 900?

I am ***NOT*** asking for anthing "private" in a public notes file just 
some generic infomration on whether it is something we are going to do in 
the short/near term.

Thanks for any help !!!!
