Newly updated to their second editions, BICSI’s three new ICT Installation Practices Field Guides continue to be the must-have companions for every ICT and low voltage cabling installer and technician. Whether it’s General Cabling, Copper, or Optical Fiber Installation, these newly updated guides are sized for your pocket or toolbox. Many additions and updates were incorporated into the three field guides with new accepted ICT technologies, current codes, standards, and industry best practices. Each volume is arranged to quickly place the information you need at your fingertips. This updated guide focuses on the tasks and procedures for setting up the site and preparing pathways and spaces for the actual cable installation. Common safety practices, protective equipment and firestopping are also included to keep you, your team, and the site safe from harm.
