BICSI releases 13th edition of TDMM


January 7, 2014

BICSI recently announced the release of the 13th edition of its Telecommunications Distribution
Methods Manual. The TDMM is the basis of course and examination material for BICSIs Registered
Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) credential and its Registered Information Technology
Professional (RITP) credential. Beginning July 1, the RCDD course and exam will be updated to reflect the
new information found in the 13th edition of the TDMM.

Among the updated information in the new edition is the incorporation of new information to address
the issues and solutions emerging for tomorrows networks, the association said. These topics include
distributed antenna systems (DAS), passive optical networks (PONs) for within buildings and IP
infrastructure for AV systems. Additionally, the 13th edition TDMM updates existing practices to
current technology for data networks.

Since 1984, the TDMM has been the definitive reference manual for ITS, telecommunications and
information communications technology infrastructure design, BICSI added. Written by industry
experts serving within a vast array of industries, as well as the telecommunications infrastructure supply
chain, the TDMM, 13th edition, provides critical design information and practice for todays and
tomorrows networks.

BICSI president Jerry Bowman, RCDD, NTS, CISSP, CPP, CDCDP, commented, As with its predecessors,
the 13th edition TDMM emphasizes recommendations for best practices drawn from experts around the
world. This updated edition once again provides deep reference information on the standards and codes
that impact our readership. Whether the reader is a newcomer or seasoned veteran to IT infrastructure
design, the 13th edition TDMM is an indispensable reference that completes any reference library.

The manual is available in print and downloadable version. You can find more information about the
13th edition TDMM here.
