Book Description
This textbook provides a complete guide to the design, procurement, installation and testing procedures for local area networks (LANs) using both copper and optical fibre. International, European and American LAN and premises cabling standards are explained and compared including the latest Category 5, Category 6 and Category 7 proposals. The latest standards in testing, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance and fire safety are also covered in detail. It is an invaluable training aid for a wide range of courses especially City and Guilds Nos. 3466 (Copper and Optical Communications) and 2720, 2760 and 3478 (in Telecommunications and Electronics). With a practical, hands-on approach it will be essential reading for lecturers and students on the appropriate C&G and NVQ courses, training companies specialising in this area, professional electrical engineers involved in laying cable networks, and IT managers.
From the Inside Flap
This book provides a complete guide to the design, procurement, installation and testing procedures for local area networks (LANs) using both copper and optical fibre cable technology. International, European and American LAN and premises cabling standards are explained and compared including the latest Category 5, Category 6 and Category 7 proposals. The latest standards in testing, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance and fire safety are also covered in detail.
By describing the theory as well as the practical issues involved, this book is an unrivalled source of information for those who need to understand, at a time of very rapid change, the complexities of today's office-based LANs.
