Summary: Too Much Attempted...Too Little Offerred
Comment: As a professional cabling designer for a large international engineering firm of 150 offices, I found that this second edition book by Vacca was out of date as soon as it was released. Much of the standards information is out of date and is no longer valid. This edition published in 2001 (per publication data) is missing many of the major EIA/TIA standards that were modified and updated in 2000. This book should be viewed as an overview to perhaps help get started, but the reader should look elsewhere for real details. The author also includes much information that is irrelevant in a "cabling handbook".

If you require the best "non-engineering" book for network cabling, buy Cabling: The Complete Guide to Network Wiring by Groth. It is five stars.

I recommend passing on this one.

Summary: An in-depth, upto date quick reference Cabling Handbook.
Comment: This book is one that you need to have in your library to give you an in-depth overview of the latest structured cabling technology and the emerging global standards. It discusses the background work you need to perform to develop a cabling technology plan and how to apply the plans for your home, organization, church or educational institution. It shows how to install a network cabling system, the technology to test the system and then certify the systems performance. The book is well organized into seven parts with appendices, a network cabling term glossary and acronyms. The seven parts are: Overview of Cabling Technology; Designing Cabling Systems; Planning for High-Speed Cabling Systems; Installing the Cabling System; Maintaining Cabling Systems; Future Directions and the Appendices. This handbook provides you a step-by-step approach to everything you need to know and research about network cabling as well as information about planning, design, implementing and maintaining a high-performance network cabling system. Many more artifacts are given such as: part numbers; top cable installation companies; fiber optics cable companies; a cabling directory and much more.

Rating: 2
Summary: A good review reference to Telecom other than cabling.
Comment: If you are a new comer to the telecommunications and want to read on an overview go ahead you are in the right place. There isn't much information here about cabling, nothing ordinary. For cabling information you may want to check out James Trulove's LAN Wiring.
