Features: Based on the national integrated cabling design standard GB/T 50311—2000, this textbook introduces common materials used in integrated cabling projects and comprehensively elaborates on the design principles, construction methods, and testing procedures of integrated cabling systems. To help readers establish a systematic understanding, typical engineering examples are provided at the end. The book is divided into thirteen chapters. The content includes:
- Basic concepts of integrated cabling
- The relationship between integrated cabling and smart buildings
- The relationships among integrated cabling subsystems, their design indicators, and design levels
- Common materials and related connecting components used in integrated cabling, along with their transmission characteristics
- Topology structures and cabling design of horizontal (distribution) and backbone subsystems
- Principles for setting up equipment rooms and distribution frames
- System protection measures
- Building cluster cabling design
- Cable and patch panel marking methods
- Cable laying methods and installation and connection of hardware
- Verification and certification testing of cable transmission links, testing of optical fiber transmission links, and integrated cabling project acceptance
- Application examples of integrated cabling
The appendix lists review questions, explanations of common terms, a bilingual (Chinese-English) glossary of common abbreviations, and common graphical symbols for integrated cabling. It also includes newly recommended national standards and introductions to selected manufacturers for readers' reference. The book is written with the aim of being both accessible and visually engaging, offering rich content that balances fundamental principles and theoretical analysis with the latest technological advancements while emphasizing practical engineering applications. It is primarily intended as a textbook for undergraduate students in electronic information, automation, and computer application disciplines in ordinary universities. It can also serve as a reference for engineering professionals in fields such as construction, computer science, communications, and automatic control, as well as a training textbook for integrated cabling.
