EBOOK - Cabling The Complete Guide to Network Wiring 2nd Edition (David Groth & Jim McBee)


EBOOK - Hướng dẫn kết nối cáp điện cho mạng điện (David Groth & Jim McBee) - 866 Trang.

This book has been a long time in the making. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge my coauthor, Jim McBee, for his excellent work on this project. He should be proud of his efforts, and it shows in the quality of this book. Also, we would like to acknowledge the other behind-the-scenes people that helped to make this book, starting with Dan Whiting of Border States Electric Supply in Fargo, ND, for all the reference material and pictures he and his company provided. His expertise was invaluable in the making of this book. Thanks, Dan! We would also like to thank photographer Steve Sillers for taking many of the pictures throughout this book. This book would not exist without Sybex Acquisitions and Developmental Editor Maureen Adams. Thanks for bringing Jim and me together and for managing this project. Additionally, I would like to thank Editor Joe Webb for editing this book and Production Editor Liz Burke for managing its production. Also, I would like to recognize the rest of the Sybex staff for all their hard work on this book, including (but not limited to) Eric Houts and Tony Jonick, the graphic illustrators; Owen Wolfson and Amy Changar, for their work on the color insert; all of the proofreaders (Laurie O’Connell, Nancy Riddiough, Suzanne Stein, Emily Hsuan, and Yariv Rabinovitch); the indexer Ted Laux; and electronic publishing specialist Franz Baumhackl, who spent time and effort making the book look good.
