TP-PMD

The TP-PMD or Twisted-Pair Physical Media Dependent standard (ANSI X3T9.5) will allow FDDI networks to run over twisted-pair cable. The intent is to create a high-performance, multi-station network. The protocol is designed to be effective at 100 Mbps using a star-wired Token Ring architecture and twisted-pair cabling as the transmission medium over link distances of up to 100 meters. The speed of this network requires the use of category 5 cable and connecting hardware.
