Cabling - The Complete Guide to Network Wiring

Not only does cabling carry the data across your network, it can also carry voice, serial communications, alarm signals, video, and audio transmissions. In the past, people took their cabling systems for granted. However, over the last decade, the information technology world began to understand the importance of a reliable and well-designed structured cabling system. This period also resulted in an explosion in the number of registered structured-cabling installers. The number of people who need to know the basics of cabling has increased dramatically.

About The Book
This book’s topics run the gamut of cabling; they include the following:

• An introduction to data cabling
• Information on cabling standards and how to choose the correct ones
• Cable system and infrastructure constraints
• Cabling-System Components
• Tools of the trade
• Copper, fiber-optic, and unbounded media
• Wall plates and cable connectors
• Cabling-system design and installation
• Cable-connector installation
• Cabling-system testing and troubleshooting
• Creating Request for Proposals (RFPs) 
• Cabling case studies
• Cabling Dictionary

Ethernet Networks - Design, Implementation, Operation, Management (Fourth Edition)

Although advances in communications technology continue to occur at a rapid pace, that paraphrase continues to be valid. Within the past decade, the bandwidth of 10 Mbps Ethernet was advanced by a factor of one thousandwith the introduction of a series of enhancements to the original Ethernet specification. First, Fast Ethernet resulted in the bandwidth of Ethernet increasing by a factor of 10 to 100 Mbps. The introduction of Gigabit Ethernet resulted in another order of magnitude increase in bandwidth to 1 Gbps. Although many persons felt that a transmission capacity of 1 Gbps would be more than sufficient for the foreseeable future, another adage states that many applications will grow to use all available bandwidth. While most organizations may be hard pressed to use 1 Gbps of bandwidth, other organizations, including Internet Service Providers and corporations and universities with large backbone LANs, were able to literally fill the 1 Gbps pipe, resulting in the development of 10 Gbps Ethernet. Thus, over the past decade Ethernet’s 10 Mbps operation has increased by a factor of 1000 to 10 Gbps.

This new edition provides a significant amount of additional material to most of the chapters of this book’s previous edition. New information added includes coverage of the transmission of Gigabit over copper conductors, the evolution of cabling standards that facilitate support of higher Ethernet operating rates, and the manner by which LAN switches operate on Ethernet frames transporting information at higher layers in the Open System Interconnection Reference Model.

Apples' ban on Flash Explained.

Steve Jobs has used an open letter to defend Apple's decision not to allow Flash on many of the firm's products.

Neither the iPod, iPhone nor iPad can run the software despite the widespread use of Flash technology on websites for video and animations.

Mr Jobs said Flash was made for an era of "PCs and mice" and performed poorly when translated to run on touchscreen smartphones and handheld devices.

He also criticised the technology for being only under the control of Adobe.
Crashing Macs

The letter comes soon after Flash creator Adobe announced it was ending its efforts to make tools that translate Flash code into programs that can run on Apple gadgets.



Adobe's announcement followed a change to the terms and conditions of the license that software developers must sign when writing code to run on Apple products.

That change banned developers from using the automatic translation tools Adobe had been developing.

Mr Jobs' lengthy open letter explains some of Apple's thinking behind the effective ban on the use of Adobe tools and translating Flash.

He said it was bad for the smartphone era because it did not support multi-touch systems and helped drain battery power unnecessarily.

The Apple boss added that it fell short on security and was "the number one reason Macs crash".

He also pointed out that there were now alternatives to flash technology, particualry for web video.

Mr Jobs also wrote about the tools that software developers use when creating applications.

The reason Apple did not want people to use Adobe's automatic translation tools, he said, was because experience had told it that it results in "sub-standard apps".

Adobe has yet to issue any response to Mr Jobs comments.

The letter provoked an avalanche of comments online, with many saying Apple's restrictions on what can be done with its software go far beyond those on Flash.

Google to launch operating system.

Google is developing an operating system (OS) for personal computers, in a direct challenge to market leader Microsoft and its Windows system.

Google Chrome OS will be aimed initially at small, low-cost net books, but will eventually be used on PCs as well.

Google said net books with Chrome OS could be on sale by the middle of 2010.

"Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS," the firm said in its official blog.

The operating system, which will run on an open source license, was a "natural extension" of its Chrome browser, the firm said.

The news comes just months before Microsoft launches the latest version of its operating system, called Windows 7. 

'Back to basics'

"We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you on to the web in a few seconds," said the blog post written by Sundar Pichai, vice-president of product management, and Google's engineering director Linus Upson.

"We are completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates.

"It should just work," said Google.

Google already has an operating system for mobile phones called Android which can also be used to run on netbooks. Google Chrome OS will be aimed not just at laptops but also at desktops for those who spend a lot of time on the web.

Microsoft Office takes to the web

Microsoft has fired its latest salvo at Google, announcing a free web-based version of its Office software.Office 2010 will include lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote when it ships next year.The new web offering will compete with Google's free online Docs suite launched three years ago. 

Last week Google took aim at Windows with news of a free operating system while in June Microsoft introduced a new search engine called Bing. 

"We believe the web has a lot to offer in terms of connectivity," Microsoft's group product manager for Office told the BBC. 

"We have over a half a billion customers worldwide and what we hear from them is that they really want the power of the web without compromise. They want collaboration without compromise. 

Office 2010 will enhance video and picture capabilities in PowerPoint.

"And what they tell us today is that going to the web often means they sacrifice fidelity, functionality and the quality of the content they care about. We knew that if and when we were ever going to bring applications into a web environment, we needed to do the hard work first because we hold such a high bar," said Mr Bryant. 

Microsoft said that 400 million customers who were Windows Live consumers would have access to the Office web applications at no cost. 

At a conference for business partners in New Orleans, Microsoft announced an early release of web apps to thousands of testers later this year. 

At the end of the year the company expects to release a proper public beta for the software and ship a final version off to PC makers in the first half of 2010.

Excel spreadsheets can now run in the browser
