Data Communications Pal (Pal Series of Engineering Reference Publications)

This is one of the best organized handbooks that I have run across for telecommunication and IT specialists. It has everything that you would ever need at your fingertips. It covers everything from POTS to broadband, and even delves into video communications. Formulas? This handbook has 'em.... Charts? They're in there... Need to know the exact bandwidth of an OC-192 line? It's just a flip away. Pinouts? It even had a hard to find pinout for a 6MMJ... I looked everywhere for that pinout!No self-respecting IT or COMM specialist should go anywhere without this in their back pocket... It's only 20bux to boot!I know I sound like a commercial, but I was THAT impressed with this handbook. I normally never write reviews. This handbook warranted it. It's definately going to make the IT or COMM specialist more productive, as it will save a TON of time in research.Kudos to Paul Rosenburg, et. al.

This book is a handy feild guide for all communications techs. A must have for all new hires.
