Course Details

This three-day course started in January, 2001 as the result of more than a year of development. The quick acceptance by industry people who specify, design, install and inspect Network Cabling Systems has been gratifying.

The seminar also will discuss the electrical problems, solutions and facilities required in the modern building to support the networks of today and tomorrow. All standards and codes involved with an installation from the point where it leaves the pole till it reaches the desk are included.

We emphasize the fact that you can not inspect what you didn't specify. For that reason, those who specify must be aware of the standards and codes. Doing so can save thousands of dollars in needless rework. There is also a module explaining how to write an effective RFQ (Request For Quote).
