if you go to www.hallssafety.com the have the cablemans handbook that covers everything from arieal const. to coax splicing to telephone and newest editions may even cover fiber splicing, never read it myself i learned the hardway way the real hardway, my best advice find a cable job tell them your a greenbean eat some sh#t and pay freakin attention thats what the rest of us did more or less or you pay me ill take you to work and teach you all i know learning isnt free if a good crew teaches you the faster you are the more money youll make them or pay me ill be happy and youll get a education bottom line is learning aint free its gonna cost either way but as well as anyone else in here were always willing to answer questions and help anyone out we are a brotherhood of cable dawgs good luck man.
