Overview

About this course

Learn how a professional cabling system is planned, installed and documented. Over three days you will work through the standards, copper media and connectors, cabling subsystems, pathways and telecom rooms, then terminate and test your own links in hands-on lab sessions.

What you'll learn

Explain the structure of a standards-based cabling system and its subsystems.
Select the right copper cable category, shielding and connectors for an application.
Plan pathways, telecom rooms and cable routes for a small building.
Terminate RJ45 jacks, plugs and patch panels to T568A and T568B.
Test and document a permanent link and a channel.
