1674.0. "EMI/RFI with TP cables" by CHOWDA::FAHEY (Are we having 'FUN' yet?) Thu May 04 1995 14:42

    I have a customer who is interested in FDDI over either UTP or ScTP.
    They are concerned about both the noise immunity of the cable as well
    as the radiated noise that might come from the cable...
    
    Does any one know where I might be able to find such information?
    
    Thanks
    Jim

    All our UTP products are guaranteed to meet FCC Class A and CE-Mark Class 
    A. Some of our equipment is certified to Class B requirements as well.
    Noteably, the DEFEA-UA and DEFPA-UA meet Class B. This should satisify
    your question as to radiated emissions.
    
    Now, for radiated susceptability, our products will operate at an error
    rate <= 2.5x10^(-10) in the presence of a 3 V/m e-field from 1MHz to
    1GHz. I believe the e-field source is 100% AM moduled at 1KHz.
    
    The details of all of the emissions/conducted tests are covered in DEC
    STD 103.

    p.s. i'm not sure of Digital's "mission critical" policy. You'd better
    check into that before selling anything into such a market.
