Copper Distributed Data Interface. A high-speed networking standard whose underlying medium is copper or telephone cable. The topology is dual-attached, counter-rotating Token Ring. See also Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).
Copper Distributed Data Interface. Another name for ANSI X3T9.5 Committee's proposed 100 Mbps over UTP standard, TP-PMD (Twisted Pair Physical Media Dependent). CDDI is a trademark of Crescendo Communications/CISCO.
Copper Distributed Data Interface. Implementation of FDDI protocols over STP and UTP cabling. CDDI transmits over relatively short distances (about 100 meters), providing data rates of 100 Mbps using a dual-ring architecture to provide redundancy. Based on the ANSI Twisted-Pair Physical Medium Dependent (TPPMD) standard. Compare with FDDI.
Copper Distributed Data Interface as defined by (ANSI X3T12) for 100Mbs token passing over copper twisted pair.
The use of unshielded or shielded twisted pair cable to transmit the FDDI signal.
Copper Distributed Data Interface transmission of signals in copper cables at 100Mbps.
Copper distributed data interface (CDDI) is a version of the fibre-distributed data interface (FDDI) LAN standard adapted for twisted-pair copper-wire LANs.
Copper Distributed Data Interface. Cisco Systems version of FDDI that uses UTP wires instead of optical fiber. See also TP-PMD.
A version of FDDI that runs on UTP cabling rather than on fiber-optic cable.
