Networking Academy Program

The official Engineering Journal and Workbook of the Cisco Networking Academy Program's Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling Course.

• Maps to the most current Web-based Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling course
• Prepares students for the BICSI Registered Installer, Level I exam
• Reinforces learned concepts through hands-on exercises

The Fundamentals of Voice and Data Cabling Engineering Journal and Workbook complements both the online course and the Companion Guide from Cisco Press. The Panduit-sponsored course and companion materials provide an introduction to the physical aspects of voice and data network cabling and installation. The review questions and exercises focus on cabling issues related to data and voice connections to provide an understanding of the industry and its worldwide standards, types of media and cabling, physical and logical networks, and signal transmission. This workbook will help students learn how to do the following: read network design documentation, set up part lists and purchase components, pull and mount cable, choose wiring closets, install jacks, and perform cable testing. It will also help develop skills in documentation, design, cable management, and troubleshooting installation issues. The hands-on approach and comprehensive coverage of topics in the Engineering Journal and Workbook will be part of a unique learning package to help students prepare for the BICSI Registered Installer, Level 1 exam.
