Data, Voice, and Video Cabling

This practical, "hands-on" book meets all the needs of installers or contractors responsible for cabling for LANs, security systems, telephones, or CATV. The communications world has needed this kind of detailed instruction in down-to-earth language on how state-of-the-art installation should be done. Separate sections on fiber optics and copper wiring make understanding each much easier and highlight the differences in installation. Background material helps the user understand why and how the networks and systems work. Written for the technician, not the engineers, this valuable book makes it easy for the typical installer to learn the subject.
