CDDI (Copper Distributed Data Interface) Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. CDDI is a version of FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) designed to run on shielded and unshielded twisted-pair cable. CDDI was developed separately by Cabletron and Crescendo. The companies then combined their technology work and received ANSI standards approval in 1993. A typical CDDI network consists of concentrators with a number of ports for the connection of workstations. Because CDDI has limited cable distances, a CDDI concentrator can connect to an FDDI ring as a subnetwork. Copyright (c) 2001 Tom Sheldon and Big Sur Multimedia.
