Addressing all major standards and relevant design issues, this easy-to-reference design manual explains how to specify, install, and test a modern reliable structured cabling system that will satisfy the next generation of standards-analyzing the terminology and physics behind the standards, what the relevant standards are, how they fit together, and where to obtain them.

Assesses the design requirements for ISO 11801 2nd Edition and cross-references all major items to their equivalent standards within the Eupropean CENELEC system and the American TIA/EIA series.

Elliot empowers the reader with the skills to read and understand standards.......address problems raised by the need to design, procure, install, and test a modern cabling system, using both copper and optical fiber and cables, and connecting hardware.....digital vs. analog communications.....various types of internal and external pathways.....ISO 11801 2nd Edition requirements....functional earthing and screened cabling....intelligent patch panel systems in administrative schemes...and copper cable and optical fiber testing.
