1714.0. "Support of Type 9 STP cable" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Mon Jun 12 1995 00:43

    My customer has a high performance and high security environment which   
    requires him to use Type 9 STP cable (not Cat. 5 UTP).  I see places in   
    this and other Notes conferences where it appears that this is   
    supported, but I have a $850K sale that I can't make assumptions with.       
    
    Can someone tell me if the following NPG product supports the use of   
    Type 9 STP cable:      
    
          - FDDIcontroller/PCI
    
    Thanks,

1714.1Any flavor will doDPDMAI::DAVIESMark, SCA Area Network ConsultantMon Jun 12 1995 11:4312
    Let me update this note.  My customer says that any STP cable will do,
    not just type 9.  If we support a different variant of STP, they will
    buy it from us.
        
    Now the question is, will the PCI FDDI adapters support any flavor of
    STP?
                                                                     
    Thanks,

All of our UTP products support 100 ohm shielded Cat 5 cable. Max distance
is still limited to 100m.
