Features: This book is based on the current cabling standards and systematically, comprehensively, and accurately elaborates on the design principles, construction methods, and testing procedures of structured cabling. It introduces common materials and typical engineering cases of structured cabling, reflecting the latest technological achievements in the field. The book is divided into 8 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the basic concepts of structured cabling, the relationships between its subsystems, design indicators, and design levels. Chapter 2 systematically discusses the topology structures and cabling solutions of horizontal and backbone subsystems, the principles for setting up equipment rooms and wiring closets; building cluster cabling solutions, management cable and patch panel marking methods, power supply and electrical protection measures for equipment rooms and wiring closets, as well as the reliability design of structured cabling topology applications. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss cable laying methods and installation connection techniques, respectively. Chapter 5 introduces the types, transmission characteristics, and performance indicators of common cabling and related connecting components. Chapters 6 and 7 introduce the performance and operation methods of cable testers and fiber optic testers, as well as the steps for testing structured cabling. Chapter 8 further discusses how to determine engineering design solutions and construction methods based on building structures and user requirements. The appendix includes explanations of common terms, common English abbreviations, construction tools, common graphical symbols, structured cabling budget quotas, and general specifications for computer room sites. This book is easy to understand, rich in content, and illustrated with diagrams, emphasizing both technological advancement and practical engineering applications. It is suitable for engineering technicians and researchers in fields such as communication, computer science, automation control, and architecture. It can also serve as a training textbook for structured cabling and a teaching material for relevant professional courses in universities.
