Develop the skills you need to design and build a reliable, cost-effective cabling infrastructure
Fully updated for the growing demand of fiber optics for large-scale communications networks and telecommunication standards, this new edition is organized into two parts. Part I covers LAN Networks and Cabling Systems offers comprehensive coverage on current cabling methodologies and is updated to the latest industry standards. Part II addresses Fiber-Optic Cabling and Components probes deeper into fiber optics, and can be used to prepare for the Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) and/or Fiber Optics Technician (FOT) certifications, two of the Electronic Technician's Association's leading certifications.
- Explains why cutting corners is a bad idea
- Walks you through the obstacles to high-speed data transfer
- Encourages you to follow the golden rules of cabling
This new edition is the only book you need for current cabling methodologies and standards.
