2014.0. "Multimode - ANSI & Low power?" by KERNEL::WARDJO () Tue Apr 16 1996 08:50

    Hello,
    
    An old FDDI Configuration giude (1992) talks about ANSI multimode and
    Low power multimode fibre. These have different physical properties,
    such as 2km distance for ANSI multimode and 1km for low power
    multimode.
    
    Can anyone tell me how this relates to our newer prducts such as the
    DEFPA-DA which is described as multimode fibre optic cable DAS. Is this
    low power or Ansi?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jon

2014.1DEFPAs are ANSI 2kmNPSS::KIRKTue Apr 16 1996 09:2913
    The DEFPA products (all optical variants) meet the ANSI Multimode
    PMD requirements.  They will perform correctly over 2 km links.
    
     Very few low power multimode products were produced by Digital. I
    believe the one product that was developed is no longer available.
    
    Let me know if you need more information.
