    I have a question on the DEC BN24E fiber patch cable. Is this cable for
    FDDI only (1300nm) or is it a dual window cable that can also be used
    for ethernet (DEBAM-RC to DEBAM-RC) connections ??
    
    Cable says "DECconnect Fiber Office Cable Type OFNR (UL) 62.5/125
    E102042"  but says nothing about being dual window cable.
    
    Need this in a hurry if anyone is reading this...

|     The Fiber Optic Planning and Config Guide on page 11-27 shows the BN24E
    series of Patch jumpers as being rated at both windows.

    I LOOKED in that manual, and couldn't find the information. I didn't
    look in that section however.
    
    Thanks again.
