Transition Networks FD-CD-01(SM) User Manual
Fddi/cddi, User’s guide, Media converter technical specifications
The TRANSITION Networks Ethernet™ CDDI to FDDI media converters connect CDDI
unshielded twisted pair cable to FDDI multimode OR to FDDI singlemode fiber-optic
cable. Media converter models are selected according to the fiber mode required at the
site. Both multimode fiber (FD-CD-01) and singlemode fiber (FD-CD-01(SM)) media
converters use a standard SC connector. Both media converters function in half-duplex
mode or, when connected to devices capable of full-duplex connectivity, in full-duplex
mode. An MDI/MDI-X switch allows straight-through twisted-pair cable to be used for
crossover CDDI connections.

CAUTION: RJ connectors are NOT INTENDED FOR CONNECTION TO THE
PUBLIC TELEPHONE NETWORK. Failure to observe this caution could result in
damage to the public telephone network.

CISPR/EN55022 Class B
FCC Regulations
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.
Canadian Regulations
