Mike Gilmore, Senior Partner of The Cabling Partnership and Managing
Director of e-Ready Building Limited, is involved in standardisation
of the design and implementation of telecommunications cabling in
the UK, in Europe (via CENELEC and ETSI) and at international level:
an activity which draws together product selection and utilization,
LAN/WAN developments, EMC issues and finally, but very significantly,
installation practice.
Mike Gilmore began his cabling
career with STC Defence Systems as Project Manager with the Fibre
Optic Division in Leeds, West Yorkshire where he was involved in
the specification of complete systems covering the commercial and
military applications for optical fibre within video and data transmission.
In 1986, Mike became Managing Director of Optical Core Technology
Limited - one of the first specialist installers of optical fibre
infrastructures. His book "Fibre optic cabling; theory design
and installation practice" published in 1991 remains a reference
for both experts and entrants into this field.
In 1988,
Mike initiated the British Standards activity to create a Code of
Practice for the Installation of Fibre Optic Cabling. Published
by the UK Fibreoptic Industry Association in 1991 and by BSI in
1994 (as BS 7718) this document was a world leading text for the
design and quality assurance of optical networks.
Since 1991, Mike has been
Senior Partner of The Cabling Partnership and has widened the scope
of the organisations activity within the European and international
cabling standards community. These activities cover all forms of
telecommunications cabling.
