Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, BICSI’s newly revised flagship manual, the 15th edition of the Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM), is known as the cornerstone of modern ICT design. From new information on single-pair Ethernet cabling, 28 AWG patch cords, SC\/APC type optical fiber connectors, fault managed power circuits, and much more, to updated information throughout the new manual, the TDMM holds true to its name. These changes reflect the newest trends in ICT technologies, ensuring a project is designed based on the latest standards and best practices. Comprised of two volumes and spanning 2100 pages, the TDMM 15th edition is a must have for all existing BICSI Registered Communications Distribution designers<\/p>\n
