FDDI ADAPTER FEATURES
This section outlines the features of the FDDI network adapters.
Adapters with a model number beginning with F30 are Micro
Channel compatible adapters. Adapters with a model number
beginning with F70 are EISA architecture compatible adapters.
Table 1-1, below shows the FDDI adapter types and variations.
1.3.1
Connectivity
F3019
The Cabletron Systems F3019 FDDI adapter connects your Micro
Channel compatible computer to an FDDI Over Copper 100
Megabit unshielded twisted pair network.
F3059
The Cabletron Systems F3059 FDDI adapter has the same
characteristics as the F3019 above, except that it is configured for
shielded twisted pair cable.
