The Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) made use of such a topology.

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)

Fortunately, by the 1990s, another LAN technology was ten times faster than regular Ethernet: Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).

In 1988 the RCC was testing Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) equipment with the intention of deploying it in its network.

Such "dual ring" networks include Spatial Reuse Protocol, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), and Resilient Packet Ring.

That speed comes from a new standard for glass fiber-optic cables known as Fiber Distributed Data Interface, allowing far faster operations than copper, which carries information at a speed of 10Mb to 16Mb.

MADI links use a transmission format similar to Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) networking (ISO 9314), which was popular in the mid-'90s for backbone links between LAN segments.

Prior to the existence of switches, IXPs typically utilized fiber-optic inter-repeater link (FOIRL) hubs or Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) rings, migrating to Ethernet and FDDI switches as those became available in 1993 and 1994.
