Cabling: The Complete Guide to Copper and Fiber-Optic Networking 5th Edition is a comprehensive resource that contains expert advice and best practices for implementing data center, local, access, metropolitan and wireless networks with data rates ranging from 100Mbps to 100Gbps using copper and fiber-optic cabling. It is designed to help readers develop the skills needed to design and build reliable, cost-effective cabling infrastructures. The book is fully updated for the growing demand of fiber optics for large-scale communications networks and telecommunication standards and is organized into two parts. Part I covers LAN networks and cabling systems. It presents comprehensive coverage on current cabling methodologies and is updated to the latest industry standards. Part II addresses fiber-optic cabling and components and probes deeper into fiber optics.
