See what you mean now I read it again, but if you expand the abbreviation:
FDDI - Fibre Distributed Data Interface the answer to whether it can be passed over copper seems more obvious. CDDI - Copper Distributed Data Interface may be the way if the question was "Can the technology pass over thin or thick coax", but from what I remember, CDDI used (at least) two pairs (but I wouldn't argue that point), so coax is out.
