LAN Wiring

One thing that some "certified professionals" lack these days is an understanding of cabling... they call that wire a backbone for a reason, you know. With plenty of illustrations and a wealth of practical knowledge, this book is an asset to any sysadmin's library, providing the information that you REALLY need to know when crawling through an overhead duct with a flashlight in your teeth.

My work revolves around designing and building data, voice and video network distribution systems. LAN Wiring is a fantastic resource for building copper, fiber, and even wireless data infrastructures!Not only will LAN Wiring help you today, it offers terrific advice and guidance for including upgrade paths for future growth. Trulove thoroughly covers technology that is currently available, as well as what is anticipated down the road.One thing I truly appreciate about this book is the detailed information on industry standards supported by diagrams and illustrations. I was especially pleased at the coverage for wireless LAN's, an area I have been greatly involved in lately.

Answered virtually all of my questions on LAN wiring and it didn't even put me to sleep in the process! Excellent book to start learning about LAN construction and as an ongoing reference. Looking forward to the next edition.

The information in "Lan Wiring" is easy to understand and very useful.

This is the best (and only) book that I have found about network cabling. It explains everything!
