Foreword
This book is presented as an aid for I.T.
managers, consultants, cable installation engineers and system designers who
need to understand the technology of the subject and the vast panoply of
standards that accompany it. The
book is a design manual for structured cabling and explains the terminology and
physics behind the standards, what the relevant standards are, how they fit
together, and where to obtain them from. Anybody
studying this book will be able to read the standards, understand
manufacturers’ data sheets and their conflicting claims and be suitably
equipped to address those problems raised by the need to design, procure,
install and correctly test a modern cabling system, using both copper and
optical fibre cable technology.
The book is based upon the design recommendations of ISO/IEC 11801 Information Technology – generic cabling for customer premises, 2nd
Edition 2002. But this is only
part of the story: ISO 11801 also references over a hundred other standards
concerning product specification, EMC/EMI, testing, administration and cable
containment. In many cases the
Standards give a range or set of design options that the reader can take, but
with little advice on which route to pick.
This book will endeavour to guide the reader around the standards and
lead to a cable system design methodology suitable for all premises and campus
cabling installations.
For those interested in some
of the more theoretical aspects of the subject then the author recommends Cable
