What is FDDI?

FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a standard for data transmission in a local area network (LAN). It uses optical fiber as its transmission medium and provides a data rate of 100 Mbps. FDDI is commonly used as a backbone for connecting high-bandwidth devices or as a high-speed connection between buildings.
