This review is from: Get a Grip on Network Cabling (Paperback)
This book has been a great resource for me. I have reccomended it MANY times to educators who are trying to understand wiring issues for their building or school system, and why they are important. It has been required reading in some of the Masters degree in Computer Education classes at Thomas College (www.thomas.edu) that I have been involved in.
The book is only slightly dated; I wish a 2nd edition would come out to cover more Fast Ethernet and "Enhanced Cat. 5" issues. Even without that information, the books engaging style makes it very readable.

BUY THIS BOOK! Find it from out of print!, Jan 2 2000

I started out my telecommunications profession as a cable puller for voice and data networking. I found this book to be simply the best for this subject matter. I used to have two copies of this book, one at my desk and one in my toolbox with me. I often referred to the book when talking projects with IT managers. It helped me and them with cabling. One of my last jobs as a senior field technicians was with a major bank and our company got the bid on the stipulation that we give the IT manager my worn copy of the book.
Those days are long gone but I still have this book. I highly recommend it to you and it is still current in subject! Get this book!

EXCELENT INTRODUCTION, Dec 11 1999

This review is from: Get a Grip on Network Cabling (Paperback)
When I was a MIS manager at a Coca-Cola plant in Brazil, I was luck to come accross with this book in an airport bookstore, several years ago. It gave me the strong fundamentals to start really understanding what a LAN cabling system was about. It would be nice to have a second edition, but this is still the top introduction anyone can find in the subject. Even its story telling style helps, the book is so interesting that once you start you don't let go until you're finished. Congratulations to the authors.
