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.

QNX to Serve as Foundational Operating System for Eclipse Safe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) Project

Industry-led open-source project accelerates SDV development with safety-critical foundations

WATERLOO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2025 / QNX, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE: BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that the QNX® Software Development Platform (SDP) 8.0 will be the foundational operating system for The Eclipse Foundation'sSafe Open Vehicle Core (S-CORE) Project, helping to accelerate the group's efforts to turbocharge automaker Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) development timelines and reduce costs in moving projects from research to production and onto roads. This marks an important milestone in the development of a common, open, and safety-critical software platform for the automotive industry.

The S-CORE project is a collaborative open-source initiative under the Eclipse Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Working Group. It brings together leading major automakers, suppliers, and technology partners - including BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz, Bosch, ETAS, Qorix, and Accenture - to develop an open-source core stack for SDVs, specifically targeting embedded high-performance Electronic Control Units (ECUs).

The first S-CORE release (v0.5) should provide core functionalities including application orchestration, inter-process communication (IPC), and logging & persistency. To enable these features to be evaluated and deployed on a robust foundation, QNX SDP 8.0 will be the supporting operating system for the initial reference platform, a milestone that was made possible via the company's recently launched QNX Everywhere initiative, which expands access to QNX's high-performance foundational software for non-commercial use, targeting students, schools, research organizations, and OEMs for early prototyping purposes. The QNX Everywhere initiative provides free access to QNX SDP 8.0 for non-commercial use, along with complimentary resources and on-demand training, making embedded systems learning, experimentation, and innovation easier than ever before.

"Embracing our role as the foundational operating system for the Eclipse S-CORE Project is a testament to QNX's trusted reputation within the automotive industry," said John Wall, COO and Head of Products, Engineering and Services, QNX. "This milestone benefits OEMs by enabling easy and simple access to QNX 8 software for non-commercial use for advanced prototyping to accelerate development cycles. By enabling Eclipse S-CORE and with support from a who's who of major automakers and Tier 1s, we're thrilled to provide more non-commercial developers with free access to QNX SDP 8.0, enabling them to build the future of automotive technology with confidence and efficiency."

By combining industry-proven operating systems like QNX with the flexibility and transparency of open-source development, S-CORE empowers contributors and adopters alike to innovate faster and more efficiently - from proof-of-concept to production.

QNX is trusted as the foundation for a software-driven future by most leading OEMs and Tier 1s worldwide, including BMW, Bosch, Ford, Geely, GM, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, and more. Its foundational software supports future-proof engineering design, from digital cockpits and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to high-performance compute systems, enabling automakers to bring innovation to market faster and at lower cost.
