1125.0. "UTP modPMD on DECbridge 900MX?" by HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG (Faraday Chong@hgo 852-8053590) Fri Jun 17 1994 10:06

    I have customer request for UTP modPMD rather than MMF on the DECbridge
    900MX, is there any plan to offer this option?
    
    The reason behind the request is simple, with today's DEChub FDDI options,
    an unneeded DECconcentrator 900MX is required. I am posting this in
    case my customer isn't the only one asked this.

    The DECbridge 900MX does not use modPMDs; only MIC connectors are
    available.
    
    What is it about your customers configuration that requires an extra
    concentrator?

Hi,

I have just come from a customer where they would like to connect a server to
FDDI using UTP and have about six individual ethernets (something like the
DECbridge900). They don not want to use fibre.

Regards Ole

    I don't know whether this is considered non-disclosure, but there has
    been discussion for a DEChub One unit with the capability of supporting
    a modular PMD which could give you FDDI UTP Support.
    
    However, you weren't explicit in whether you wanted this DECbridge to
    be hub-mounted or stand-alone. Which do you want?
1125.4PMD for 900 Concentrator QuestionODIXIE::ODOMThu Aug 04 1994 16:415
    I also have a customer that may need a CDDI type connection. The
    concentrator would be installed in a DEChub900. Do you have any idea if UTP
    or CDDI PMD's will be added and at what time frame?
    
    Thanks
