Continuing the long practice of evolution toward a global document, the 11th Edition of the Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual, is now available. The updates in this edition have been made as a result of careful evaluation of the design information and a delivery of those recommendations as global best practices for design of telecommunications distribution systems.

No longer relying on exclusive use of US standards for these recommendations, the international BICSI solutions in this updated edition make it a relevant reference for ITS professionals throughout the world. The newly incorporated Reference Section includes standards and codes that correspond with the subject matter of each chapter, and the Appendix features a comprehensive list of all standards and codes applying to the entire TDMM.

• Your one-stop source for the latest on telecommunications distribution design!
• Includes industry guidelines that have been adopted worldwide
• Researched and written by information transport systems (ITS) experts
• Information in this manual is in accordance with global best practices and is in no way slanted toward specific vendors
• An Appendix provides a complete listing of the latest codes and standards
• Sets forth the latest techniques and methodologies

As comprehensive as ever, this edition of the TDMM has two volumes and covers the areas of design through construction, installation, and maintenance in 22 chapters with six appendices and a glossary.
