Product Description:
The definitive guide to home and small business installation -- extensions, modems and telephone systems.
Steve Roberts provides a practical guide to the installation of telephone wiring in Telephone Installation Handbook. The coverage of his book ranges from the simple, single extension socket to the Private Automative Branch Exchange (PABX), with the necessary tools, test equipment and materials needed by installers described throughout.
The text is supported by an extensive glossary of technical terms, abbreviations and acronyms. Further appendices give supplier addresses and useful contacts, as well as providing circuit diagrams and descriptions of a number of telephone-related electronic devices.
This book arms you with knowledge of regulations and techniques to help plan and implement telephone installations. Above all, this is a practical book for those intending to make a living from installing extensions and systems, for facilities managers responsible for workplace systems, for those who need to communicate effectively with telephone engineers, and for those who prefer to do their own work around the house.
The new edition has been updated throughout, and now includes extended information on ISDN and also a new chapter covering CAT5 cabling -- its implementation and integration.
The first practical guide to telephone installation, fully updated to cover new technological advances
A basic primer for those with little prior knowledge of the subject and want to know more.
* Coverage of the basics makes this a useful reference work.
Summary: Tools & Equipment chapter is thin and weak
Rating: 2
I was specifically looking for a book to help me choose and use installation and test equipment. Disappointed, I can learn more from equipment vendor web sites. As the author is British, so too is the terminology ("socket" versus "jack") and pricing of equipment (Pounds circa December 1996). At 156 pages, the book is also quite thin for the price.
