This newly updated edition reflects recent changes in fiber optic technology,
marketing, and applications, including wider usage of Fiber To The Home (FTTH)
applications and LANs (Local Area Networks). A practical guide for designers,
installers, and troubleshooters of fiber optic cable plants and networks, this

testing.
