FDDI 2000 dual bypass switch will increase network reliability

AMP is releasing a FDDI 2000 dual bypass switch to enhance network reliability by reducing signal losses and minimising downtime.

The product can bypass dual-attached FDDI stations without losing ring integrity, and the FDDI 2000 features a compact design that places all the cables on the front of the device making it ideal for retrofit, plus enabling simple cable routing and management.

The FDDI 200 is available with FDDI MIC, ST-style or SC duplex connector interfaces and 50/125 or 62.5/125um pigtail fibres to allow compatibility with all FDDI cabling schemes.

With a switching speed of 10m and low insertion loss of 1.1db, the FDDI 2000 meets all the required ANSI standards, while in the event of a device or a power failure, the product automatically moves into bypass mode.

The FDDI 2000 retails at #600.
