1303.1MMF may work.OSAV20::IZUTANIKenji Izutani, NIS Consul., DEC-JapanWed Apr 06 1994 02:188
Aoki-san,

You can use MMF as far as the fiber has "dual window" perfomance 
specification, i.e. both for 1300nm and 850nm of wavelength.

FDDI uses 1300nm and Ethernet(802.3 FOIRL and 10BASE-F) uses 850nm.
