Data, Voice, and Video Cabling

Cabling is one of the fastest changing technologies today, and this updated book addresses the latest developments in premises cabling, including wireless networks.

The "hands on" processes used in the installation of data, voice, and video cabling are observed using minimal theory and liberal practical advice. A logical format that separates key concepts into specific sections minimizes confusion between the unique installation practices among the different technologies.

Copper cabling is first discussed, including coax, telephone, and Cat 3 and Cat 5 LAN cabling. A section devoted to fiber optics then follows. Within each section, discussions progress from the basics to components, installation, and testing to assist in the development of individual skills.

Features:

• basic, up-to-date coverage of the technology and installation of premises cabling can be easily understood by readers who don't have a technical background
• discussions of the practical aspects of cabling -not just the standards- show how real-world installers perform real-world installations
• step-by-step instructions and detailed photos and drawings of installation practices enhance understanding, especially in visual learners
• coverage includes an industry-wide overview of communications, as well as information on the cabling business
• useful information on installation practices such as pulling cables, termination, and testing make this an invaluable reference to both cable installers and contractors alike

Jim Hayes is a founder and President of The Fiber Optic Association, the professional society for fiber optics. He is also a partner in VDV Works, a company that provides technical support to the voice-data-video industry.

Originally educated as a physicist and astronomer at Vanderbilt University and The University of California at Santa Cruz, Mr. Hayes has been involved with the electronics and test instrumentation industry since 1968. For the last 25 years, he has been involved with fiber optics and communications.

A frequent lecturer on communications, he writes monthly columns for Electrical Contractor and TED (The Electrical Distributor) and is also the author of Fiber Optics Technician's Manual and numerous articles on fiber optics and cabling.

Paul Rosenberg has an extensive background in the construction, data, electronic, HVAC and plumbing trades. He is a leading voice in the electrical industry with years of experience from an apprentice to a project manager.

Paul has written for all of the leading electrical and low voltage industry magazines and has authored more than 30 books. In addition, he wrote the first standard for the installation of optical cables (ANSI-NEIS-301) and was awarded a patent for a power transmission module.

Paul currently serves as contributing editor for Power Outlet Magazine, teaches for Iowa State University and works as a consultant and expert witness in legal cases. He speaks occasionally at industry events.
