The FDDI-based standard failed due to its expensive implementation and lack of compatibility with current <a href="/wiki/Local_area_network" title="Local area network">LAN</a> standards. The IEEE 802.6 standard uses the <a href="/wiki/Distributed-queue_dual-bus_network" class="mw-redirect" title="Distributed-queue dual-bus network">Distributed Queue Dual Bus</a> (DQDB) network form. This form supports 150 Mbit/s transfer rates. It consists of two unconnected unidirectional buses. DQDB is rated for a maximum of 160 km before significant signal degradation over fiberoptic cable with an optical wavelength of 1310 nm. </p><p>This standard has also failed, mostly for the same reasons that the FDDI standard failed. MANs are traditionally designed using <a href="/wiki/Synchronous_optical_networking" title="Synchronous optical networking">Synchronous Optical Network</a> (SONET), <a href="/wiki/Synchronous_Digital_Hierarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="Synchronous Digital Hierarchy">Synchronous Digital Hierarchy</a> (SDH) or <a href="/wiki/Asynchronous_Transfer_Mode" title="Asynchronous Transfer Mode">Asynchronous Transfer Mode</a> (ATM).
