Fiber Optic Cabling is a practical guide to all aspects of designing,
specifying and installing systems for LANs and other data communications
applications. The second edition has been completely revised and
updated by Barry Elliott, taking into account the major developments in
LAN and transmission technology over the past 10 years. The latest
legislation is also dealt with, including standards relating to
flammability. Cutting edge topics such as photonic switching, wavelength
division multiplexing and plastic fiber, and their implications for the
future are also explored.
An international perspective of the subject is taken, with the author looking at all the practical implementations for fiber optic cabling, using American, European and International ISO standards.
