    Hello,
    
    I am working on the sale/consultancy with Dave Marlowe and a question 
    we need answered is do our faceplate products and open decconnect patching
    support the "subminiature 9 pin D connectors" that have been mentioned
    in note 261.  What are the plans here as what we are trying to do is
    recommend a wiring strategy and connectorization for the customer to 
    implement that will allow him to run FDDI over STP on the Horizontal 
    over the 1-2 year time horizon.
    
    Thanks in Advance,
    
    Jim Durnin - NPC

    No. The FDDI-over-STP offering is envisioned to be installed into
    existing STP cableplants. The DECconnect family of products is not
    expanding to support 150-ohm STP.
    
    A hybrid patch cable, 9-pin Dsub-to-IBM hermaphroditic, will be
    available (17-03156-01).
