Product Description
Practical Network Cabling is an excellent reference if you need to learn network cabling or need a unified source of information on any network cabling scheme. This book provides clear and straightforward text explaining all types of network cabling issues from specification to installation to ongoing maintenance. A highlight of this book is the superb quality of the illustrations showing various cable types and connectors. After reading this book you will be able to design the right cabling system for LANs or WANs of any size or complexity, identify all types of cabling and connectors and their advantages and disadvantages, specify the right quality and type of cables and connectors for a given application, install wiring, connectors, closets, terminators, of any cabling type, and prevent, troubleshoot, and fix cabling problems.

 My Run at Networking August 20, 2003
I am not a beginner at networking, but certainly not a longtime professional,either. I rate your book at four stars because it helped me to do a very good job on a rather lenghthy project for someone else. I used information only from the book, and the project turned out very well.I don't expect to have to go back to the job because I did the work, as they say, "by the book".I enjoyed reading your book, as well as using your book. Thank you.

This book falls into the category of books that provide a survey of a field, useful for a beginner but certainly not for an advanced network administrator or cabling installer. For example, I needed to send instructions to an electrician at a remote site in Alaska on basic cabling techniques so that he could set up a small LAN using best practices. Unfortunately, this book lacked a basic procedure on how to punch down strands of 4-pair on to a punch down block. Another example, the 568a / 568b issues are poorly explained. Therefore, if you need real, hands-on information for an implementation, then move on to another book, perhaps one from BCSI, or perhaps the Sybex book by Groth and McBee.

An excellent source for network schemes, cabling options and investments in cabling. Derfler's book contains many vivid diagrams of cable and the book is easy to navigate and understand
