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.

Drivers With Disabilities Remain Stymied by Fueling Regulations

By: 3BL Media

AB2563 offered a solution to the disability community in California

SOURCE: Booster Fuels

DESCRIPTION:

As the leading mobile energy provider, Booster is committed to delivering equal access to fuel for all, and our technology can help bring some independence to California drivers who live with disabilities. By delivering fuel directly to their tanks, we can remove the gas station experience from their lives altogether, which can be frustrating, inaccessible, and unsafe for drivers with disabilities.

Assembly Bill (AB) 2563, introduced earlier this year, offered a solution to the disability community in California by allowing mobile fueling on demand to expand responsibly throughout the state.

Laws regulating fuel dispensing were written before mobile fueling technology existed, which means that most of California’s air districts have outdated rules that do not allow for mobile fueling.

While AB 2563 overwhelmingly passed the Assembly Transportation and Natural Resources committees with bipartisan support, it unfortunately died last week when it failed to move off of the Appropriations Committee suspense file.

This means at least another year will pass that drivers with disabilities will be denied a viable alternative to the gas station. For a driver with a disability, the gas station experience can be unpredictable. After finding an accessible option, parking the car, taking out a wheelchair and going over to the pump, only to discover that the credit card reader doesn’t work, the call button is out of reach, or no staff around to help. These types of situations often put them in vulnerable positions to ask strangers for help and provide them with their credit cards.

In short, the gas station model was not designed for drivers with disabilities, and AB 2563 would have helped them live and drive without the burden and uncertainties of the gas station.

You can help with this important issue by joining Californians for Smart Fueling, a coalition dedicated to making California better for drivers with disabilities.
