This guide to design, installation, and testing procedures for local area networks (LANs) using both copper and optical fiber cable technology is intended for students studying courses such as the NVQ (National Vocational Qualifications), City & Guilds and BTEC courses, and BSc courses in communications engineering in the UK, and courses for Certified Electronics Technician, Certified Fiber Optics Installer, Certified Network Systems Technician and Telecommunications Electronics Technician in the US. In addition to covering basic mathematics, physics, and communications theory, Elliott, the technical marketing manager at Brand-Rex Ltd. (Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland), covers components and testing of both copper and optical cable technology, cable system design, and international standards. Annotation c.
