This Handbook provides cablers with a 'field' document to assist them to cable residential premises for telephone, data, TV, control and security, guiding them through appropriate standard requirements with cross references to the actual Standards, where it is necessary for clarification. Figure 1.1 illustrates the range of complexity, from a single, self-contained dwelling to multiple dwellings. Appendix A contains a glossary of terms used in this Handbook.
