This concise, easy-to-use book is your single-source guide to electrical cables. Written in two parts, Cables and Wiring, 2E begins with chapters that illustrate acceptable methods for installing, splicing, and terminating power cables. The second part of Cables and Wiring is a complete reference to over 30 types of Underwriters Laboratories® and National Electrical Code® listed cable and wire. It includes information on available sizes, ampacities, temperature ranges, allowable installations, receiving and handling, and termination methods.Features:-updated to include the many new cable types—both copper and fiber optic—used for voice and data communication -includes expanded information in many areas, updated for the 1999 National Electrical Code® -provides information unavailable in any other single location for easy reference -comprehensive and practical coverage provides quick access to information on power cable and wire construction, splicing, termination, testing, and applications -a “must-have” reference for journeyman electricians, contractors, inspectors, and designers .

This handbook contains basic information and fundamental data in the design, usage, and development of wire and cable. The handbook contains a wide variety of useful information and quantitative facts as well as authoritative references helpful in the design, development, usage, and maintenance, of wires and cables used in modern electronic and electrical systems.The objective of this handbook is to provide a practical guide to correct design of equipment to meet the exacting transmission requirements of the many and varied aspects of today?s electronic and electrical systems. The designer who considers the proper technology of wire and cable design can alleviate many problems in proper commission and installation techniques, whereas, the designer who ignores this technology can and does greatly multiply the problem.Also included are a glossary of terms and a listing of equations for quick references.
