The physical linkages responsible for carrying a company's datacontinue to be the most neglected components of the typicalnetwork--to the extent that nearly 70% of all network-relatedproblems result from poor cabling.
In this third edition of a widely acclaimed resource, threenetworking experts share their extensive experience, teaching youthe cabling skills you need to build a reliable, efficient, andcost-effective network cabling infrastructure. As you master thesetechniques, you'll learn to avoid common pitfalls and troubleshootproblems as quickly as they arise. Coverage includes:
* Choosing the right cables and components for your networkarchitecture and topology
* Avoiding unnecessary and unexpected costs
* Understanding the current limitations of data communicationsand network cabling
* Understanding how laws and building codes constraincabling
* Understanding the function and importance of universal cablingstandards
* Determining when you have a cabling-related networkproblem
* Assembling a complete cabling toolkit
* Integrating voice and data on the same cable system
* Setting up an infrastructure in which desktops, printers,copiers, and other nodes share cabling
* Understanding issues of bandwidth, impedance, resistance,attenuation, crosstalk, capacitance, propagation, delay, and delayskew
* Working effectively with USB and Firewire
* Knowing when to discard legacy cabling and begin anew
* Documenting your cabling
* Creating an RFP and selecting a vendor
