Cabling (CEDIA ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL Book 2)

Almost all electronic systems depend upon a cable of some type to carry information and power to, from and between system components. Use of the proper cable can be the difference between great system performance and complete system failure. Many of the systems used for networking, security, audio and home automation benefit from standards developed to ease the selection and installation of the proper cable for the application.

This chapter of the CEDIA Technical Reference Manual will relate to all aspects of structured cabling, as well as reviewing other types of cabling an electronic systems technician may be required to install to support various systems that are part of the residential infrastructure.
