Telephone Home Wiring teaches technicians how to correctly install and troubleshoot the hardware associated with an in-home telephone system. This hardware includes various twisted-pair transport media, interface devices and termination points. The technician is introduced to inside wiring topologies, cable and connector configurations, Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronic Industries Alliance (TIA/EIA) standards and twisted-pair test equipment. Additionally, extensive troubleshooting of twisted-pair wiring is presented to ensure the technician is able to solve telephony related issues within the premises.
