Customer Reviews & Comments
I am an RCDD and have been actively designing cabling systems for five years. Since I migrated to telecom from electrical engineering, my field telecom experience is light. I'm fine with the theory, but I'm not an installer. This book fills in the holes for me. The Clear descriptions of test equipment, good photos of fan out kits and other elements relating to field equipment have helped me to design better and more accurate rack layouts and telecom room layouts.
I would agree that it's a beginner's book if you have a lot of field experience, but it is a valuable design tool if you don't.
