Does anyone know of a device that has FDDI-multimode compatible I/O on one side and any type of singlemode I/O on the other? The application: we need to put some FDDI/Ethernet bridges 5 km apart. That is pushing multimode a bit, so .. the need to convert to singlemode and then back on the other end. Fibronix has such a device in their literature, but it "is still in development." I got the literature in February or so - can you say "early announcement." Another company is going to have a singlemode interface for their box, but it will be a while. Can anyone help? While on the subject of electro-optics - what is so special about the FDDI optical tx/rx.It doesn't seem like 125 Mbaud is that incredibly fast. What is it that requires "FDDI" optics? Why won't others do? tony goodloe ...uunet!ingr!b11!goodloe

We have an FDDI ring installed where the distance between stations is
more than 10 Km. In order to achieve the distance, a Finnish company
called SLO-Kaapeli Inc. has made us multimode/single mode converters.
The converter is now a commercial product. I don't know the price nor
remember the address of the company. Contact Jari Karttunen
(jjk@tut.fi) for more information.

I am looking to develop an FDDI network that is about two miles long and am in search of vendors that provide terminal equipment. I also think that some type of repeaters may be involved but I do not know who manufactures them?? If someone is familiar with this please respond. I will collate information that I receive and place it back on the NET. Thanks Steve
