Description
Covers the commercial installation of fibre optic data highways, concentrating on the practical (technical and commercial) aspects of installation design, component choice, installation procedures, repair and maintenance, and system assurance. The use of optical fibre as a method of transmitting data has evolved beyond established telecommunications applications. Non-specialist companies are now involved in the design and installation of fibre optic cabling to service the more general data communications market. All the processes and techniques described in this book conform to the UK Fibreoptic Industry Association code of practice for the installation of fibre optic cabling, one of the bases of developing European and international standards.
