Choice Review
Intended primarily as a trade reference for identifying, selecting, and purchasing wire and cable for a variety of applications including fiberoptics, digital communications, computer networks, process control, instrumentation, and power systems. Chapters cover conductor materials; insulation materials; conductor and cable manufacture; codes and standards; single, paired and special wire; flat cable and connectors; multiconductor and multipair cables; coaxial, triaxial, and twinaxial cables and conductors; fiber-optical cable and connectors; process control cables; and special cables. An appendix contains many useful tables on cable properties, dimensions, and specifications, including all relevant military specifications and definitions designated by the National Electric Code (NEC) and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). A glossary lists definitions of pertinent wire and cable terminology. Highly recommended as a reference for libraries serving technical institutes, undergraduate engineering curricula, as well as general readers.-I. L. Kosow, emeritus, City University of New York
