| This could be done, and fairly easily. Our product management team is
concerned about changing SMF connectors AGAIN. Would this present a
problem to our customers? Would we have to supply ST to SC adapters in
order for them to attach to their cable plants? What would be the
selling points for the SC SMF modpmd?
I need feedback from our field people in order to make this SC SMF
modPMD a product. Prototypes could be done REALLY quickly. REALLY!

What would be the purpose of the change? We already offer ST-SC cables
and the new DECconcentrator 900FH is also ST, so there is some
consistency. Personally, I'd like to see the MMF PMDs go ST also and
then we would be consistent all around.
I'd only support this if ALL FDDI connections were made SC for
consistency. Can you make this happen?

| 1852.3 | SC vs ST -- are you mixing them up? | NETCAD::MELARAGNI | | Fri Nov 03 1995 08:05 | 7 |
| Are you confusing ST with SC? The DECconc 900FH is a 12 ports of SC
("square connector"), *not* ST ("straight tip").
The trend *is* to move towards one connector type, the SC. This
includes MMF and SMF.

Ah, I guess I wasn't paying attention. I thought they said the DC900FH
was ST connectors, but the fact that they are SC heartens my spirit.
So, if this is the case, I would support creating an SC version of the
SMF PMD since it is out of synch with current products.
