About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Latest Pipeline Monitoring Technology Is Officially Out of This World

By: 3BL Media

Hyperspectral imaging satellite, currently being evaluated by iPIPE consortium, will be aboard SpaceX flight

SOURCE: Enbridge

DESCRIPTION:

A powerful new piece of pipeline safety technology is ready for launch.

Back in November, Orbital Sidekick—the first commercial company to deploy hyperspectral sensors in space—was selected by pipeline industry consortium iPIPE to have its monitoring technology tested in real-world conditions.

Now, the company’s most powerful hyperspectral imaging satellite, Aurora, will be aboard the SpaceX Transporter-2 craft scheduled to leave the launching pad today at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.

Enbridge has been a member of iPIPE (the Intelligent Pipeline Integrity Program) since April 2019. iPIPE, a group of safety-minded industry leaders, is focused on advancing emerging technologies to prevent and detect pipeline leaks by putting a series of promising near-commercial technologies through their paces out in the field.

“At Enbridge, we are harnessing the power of data, technology and innovation to further advance pipeline safety. With the iPIPE consortium, we are committed to solving real-world problems, and engaging in information sharing and collaboration that help our industry,” says Bhushan Ivaturi, Enbridge’s Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer who leads Technology, Information Services and Digital at Enbridge.

“We’re excited to see the launch of this hyperspectral imaging satellite, which we believe will ultimately benefit the pipeline industry in its quest for 100% safety.”

Orbital Sidekick’s Aurora satellite will be placed into commercial service for clients in the energy, mining and defense sectors, with duties that include oil and gas pipeline monitoring and methane mapping.

“The technology aboard the satellite provides high-resolution imagery not previously available to our industry, and we look forward to learning how to apply this new capability through our iPIPE partnership work,” says Darren Schmidt, iPIPE’s Program Co-Manager and the Assistant Director for Energy, Oil and Gas at the North Dakota-based Energy & Environmental Research Center.

As part of its iPIPE commitment, Orbital Sidekick is already carrying out both satellite and aerial operations over the Bakken and Permian basis in North Dakota. The work is intended to further develop Orbital Sidekick’s satellite-based hyperspectral pipeline monitoring capabilities.

“The pipeline industry is continually seeking opportunities to improve pipeline safety. This project brings together our cutting-edge application of remote sensing technology with the very practical needs of oil and gas operators to perform well beyond minimal compliance requirements,” said Orbital Sidekick’s vice president of business development Peter Weaver at the time of the iPIPE announcement.

The 66-pound (30-kilogram) Aurora satellite will be one of 36 payloads entering orbit today as part of SpaceX Transporter-2’s rideshare mission.

After a pair of delays, liftoff is now scheduled for today, Wednesday, June 30, at 2:56 p.m. ET. Click here to watch the liftoff live.
