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.
Audience:
Telephone installation technicians; electricians; home DIY / hobby electronics; telecommunications engineers; technicians in the building industry.
