Nearly 70 percent of all network-related problems result from poor cabling or cabling problems, but the cables, hubs and bridges that carry a company's vital data remain the most neglected and under-appreciated components of the typical network. Writing from extensive and sometimes painful experience - but with a sense of humor - networking experts and trainers David Groth and Jim McBee show you how to avoid these problems and how to build an infrastructure for optimum performance now and in the future. Coverage includes:

Choosing the right cables for your network architecture (Ethernet, Token Ring) and topology (star, bus, or ring)
Understanding the limitations of data communications and network cabling - and the laws and building codes that constrain cabling
Selecting quality components and installing them effectively to build a reliable network
Getting the tools you need - from crimpers to fish tapes to continuity testers - and using them properly
Integrating voice and data on the same cabling system
Saving money by sharing cabling among PCs, printers, terminals, copiers and other applications
Understanding bandwidth, impedance, resistance, attenuation, crosstalk, capacitance, propagation, delay and delay skew
Knowing when to integrate legacy cabling and when to rip it out root and branch
Documenting your cabling system so that you can maintain, troubleshoot and upgrade it easily
Creating and distributing a Request for Proposal and managing the vendor-selection process
