Data communications links range from a simple low-speed modem operating over a pair of copper wires, through to complex packet switched networks operating over an optical fibre. ‘Data’ could be defined as non-real-time digital information such as data, photographic and video files. However, it could now also include real-time video streams and voice traffic since these are digi- tised and can have similar characteristics to data traffic. The conver- genceofalltelecommunicationstrafficintopacketbasedtransmission such as Internet Protocol (IP) blurs the distinction between real-time and data traffic even more. The main distinction between them is the time delay in transporting the information from the source to the recipient; voice and real-time video must not be unduly delayed. This fourth edition of the Data Communications Pocket Book attemptstobrieflydescribeallcurrentformsofdatacommunications, from computer interfaces and cables through to the protocols used in packet based networks. New material includes Universal Serial Bus (USB) and Firewire interfaces, as well as CAT-5 cables and Inter- net Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Some material from the third edition has been removed and the remaining topics have been updated. As with any small book, there is never enough space to publish all the information that may be needed. However, this book will hopefully contain enough information to help engineers and technicians whilst working away from their bulky reference books.
