Download Description
Practical Network Cabling is an excellent reference for anyone needing to learn network cabling or who needs a unified source of information on any network cabling scheme. While there are many books at the electrical engineering level on network and other cabling, there are very few for the new professional in the field or students learning this in technical career training. This book written by two expert networking authors provides clear and straightforward text explaining all types of network cabling issues from specification to installation to ongoing maintenance. A highlight of this book is the superb quality of the illustrations showing various cable types and connectors. The illustrations are of similar quality to what is found in popular magazines and are drawn in a highly detailed 3D style that outshines the murky photos and bitmapped amateur sketches in other books. After reading this book the user will be able to Design the right cabling system for LANs or WANs of any size or complexity, Identify all types of cabling and connectors and their advantages and disadvantages, Specify the right quality and type of cables and connectors for a given application, Install wiring, connectors, closets, terminators, of any cabling type, and Prevent, troubleshoot, and fix cabling problems.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This book falls into the category of books that provide a survey of a field, useful for a beginner but certainly not for an advanced network administrator or cabling installer. For example, I needed to send instructions to an electrician at a remote site in Alaska on basic cabling techniques so that he could set up a small LAN using best practices. Unfortunately, this book lacked a basic procedure on how to punch down strands of 4-pair on to a punch down block. Another example, the 568a / 568b issues are poorly explained. Therefore, if you need real, hands-on information for an implementation, then move on to another book, perhaps one from BCSI, or perhaps the Sybex book by Groth and McBee.
