Outlines specifications for the Cabletron Systems Fiber Distributed
Data Interface (FDDI) High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).
Data Interface (FDDI) High Speed Interface Module (HSIM).
The HSIM-F6 provides additional connectivity/functionality to various
Cabletron Systems interface modules and standalone hubs through the
use of FDDI technology. In addition to having a general working
knowledge of Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 type data communications
networks and their physical layer components, you should also
understand FDDI networks and the ANSI X3T9.5 standard prior to
installing the HSIM-F6.

The HSIM-F6, shown in
, uses two FPIM (FDDI Port Interface
Module) slots to provide the option of using multimode fiber optic, single
mode fiber optic, unshielded twisted pair, or shielded twisted pair
transceiver ports based on the network requirements.
