Develop the skills you need to design and build a reliable, cost-effective cabling infrastructure
Fully updated for the growing demand of fiber optics for large-scale communications networks and telecommunication standards, this new edition is organized into two parts. Part I covers LAN Networks and Cabling Systems offers comprehensive coverage on current cabling methodologies and is updated to the latest industry standards. Part II addresses Fiber-Optic Cabling and Components probes deeper into fiber optics, and can be used to prepare for the Fiber Optics Installer (FOI) and/or Fiber Optics Technician (FOT) certifications, two of the Electronic Technician's Association's leading certifications.
- Explains why cutting corners is a bad idea
- Walks you through the obstacles to high-speed data transfer
- Encourages you to follow the golden rules of cabling
This new edition is the only book you need for current cabling methodologies and standards.

areas shall be made so that the spread of fire is not increased. Communications cables burn rapidly and produce poisonous smoke and gasses. If openings are created or used through walls, floors, ceilings, or fire-rated partitions, they shall be firestopped. If a cable is not properly firestopped, a fire can follow the cable. A basic rule of thumb is this: if a hole exists, firestop it. Firestop manufacturers have tested and approved design guidelines that must be followed when firestopping any
raceway is hinged to allow cables to be easily installed.

To meet information-output needs, raceway vendors often produce modular connectors to integrate with their raceway systems. | Telecommunications Rooms, Enclosures, and Equipment Rooms 161

but also in the demands placed on them. In the past 25 years, we have seen the emergence of standards for 10Mb Ethernet, 16Mb Token Ring, 100Mb FDDI (Fiber-Distributed Data Interface), 100Mb Ethernet, 155Mb ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode), 655Mb ATM, 1Gb Ethernet, 2.5Gb ATM, and 10Gb Ethernet. Network technology designers are already planning technologies to support data rates of up to 100Gbps. The average number of nodes on a network segment has decreased dramatically, while the number of

Figures 2.5 and 2.7 illustrate the relationship of a telecommunications room to the backbone cabling and equipment rooms. Note A telecommunications enclosure is intended to serve a smaller floor area than a telecommunications room.
