687.0. "Unshielded twisted pair?" by GLDOA::GIVEN () Tue Sep 01 1992 09:54

    I have a customer, Cummins Engine Company, who would like to know if
    Digital has any products which would allow them to runn at FDDI speeds
    accross unsheilded twisted pair. Do we have such a product? What is
    DEC's official position on this? Do we have any third party partners
    who provide this capability?
    
    
    Thanks very much,

	Digitals Bill Croning is chairing the ANSI committee for FDDI over UTP. As I understand it Digital is continously testing and verifying the decisions from this committee and will be in a good position to offer ANSI compliant FDDI/UTP products when all spects of the standard have been ironed out. Since Digital already have soultions for FDDI over copper I do not think we will introduce an interim solution for UTP. Please note that the ANSI standard addresses Data Grade UTP (Category 5) For more information, start by studying the following notes.
