Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

THE COMPLETE CABLING GUIDE ―UPDATED WITH THE LATEST IN FIBER-OPTICS TECHNOLOGY

Poor cabling accounts for nearly 70% of network problems. Cabling: The Complete Guide to Copper and Fiber-Optic Networking, 5th Edition is the industry-leading guide to helping you develop the skills you need to design and build reliable, cost-effective cabling infrastructure. This fifth edition has been fully updated with the latest industry standards and a deeper look into fiber-optics, helping professionals meet the growing demands of large-scale communities that require fiber-optics networks rather than traditional copper.

• An introduction to data cabling
• Cabling specifications and standards
• Choosing the correct cabling
• Cable system components and infrastructure constraints
• Network equipment
• Fiber-optic, copper, and wireless media
• Design considerations for fiber-optic systems
• Principles of fiber-optic transmission
• Passive components, multiplexers, and optical networks
• Testing equipment, link/cable testing, troubleshooting, and restoration

This comprehensive resource is packed with expert advice and best practices for implementing data center, local, access, metropolitan and wireless networks with data rates ranging from 100Mbps to 100Gbps using copper and fiber-optic cabling. This guide was written with the support of the Electronics Technicians Association (ETA) to provide authoritative coverage of the Fiber Optics Installer (FOI), Fiber Optics Technician (FOT) and Data Cabling Installer (DCI) certifications.
