Fiber Optic Cables: Fundamentals, Cable Design, System Planning

From Book News, Inc.
The new edition has been revised throughout to reflect recent developments in fiber optics, with new sections on optical nonlinear effects and nonzero dispersion shifted fibers. The book is heavily illustrated with color photos, tables, drawings, and graphs. A lengthy glossary of terms, several appendices of symbols, conversion tables, type codes, and the Greek alphabet, and a bibliography are provided. The fourth edition was updated by Gossing; Mahlke died in 1995. Distributed by Wiley.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Book Description
This publication is directed towards all who deal with design, construction and maintenance of fiber optic cable plants. Furthermore, it provides basic information as an introduction to specialized technical literature. In order to make it easier to study the many specialized publications, the book contains a detailed glossary of technical terms. For this edition, the section on optical nonlinear effects has been enlarged and information on nonzero dispersion shifted fibers has been added. The chapter "fiber optic modules and components" has been rewritten and considerably enlarged.

The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
This publication is directed towards all who deal with design, construction and maintenance of fiber optic cable plants. Furthermore, it provides basic information as an introduction to specialized technical literature. For the new edition, the major developments over the last years have been taken into account. As transmission rates are rapidly growing, the part on the fundamental principles has been updated with a section on non-linear optical effects. New chapters cover tight buffer cables for customer premise cabling as well as submarine cables for non-repeatered applications and aerial cables for use by power companies. In addition, the section concerning accessory equipment like splices, connectors and closures has been considerably enlarged. Contains a detailed glossary of technical terms.
