installers, and troubleshooters of fiber optic cable plants and
networks, this book provides a comprehensive overview of all aspects
of fiber optics as used in communications systems, including
telephone, CATV, and computers.
Beginning with a brief history of
the development of fiber optics, the third edition progresses from
the basics of the technology and its components, to installation and
testing.
