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.

The Sphere X series features a larger Crystal lens, providing over 30% more visibility of the work area, compared to the Crystal 2.0. The Sphere series helmets also incorporates a new multi-sensor detection system with five sensors that react faster and with more precision.

Key features of the Sphere X Series include:

Optimal Clarity: The Sphere X helmets are equipped with Optrel's patented Crystal lens technology, which optimizes clarity and comfort.

Multi-Sensor Automatic Shade Level Detection: In addition to ShadeTronic® technology, the helmets feature a new five-sensor system for enhanced safety and performance.

Hard-Hat Compatible: Allows users to securely attach their welding helmet to an optrel hard hat, essential for work environments where head protection is required in addition to eye and face protection.

IsoFit® X Headband: A 3D-adjustable headband with a two-layer design and flexible padding that conforms to the user's head shape for a perfect fit. It also includes a Position Locker to ensure a safe, open/closed position.

NIOSH-Approved PAPR: The Sphere series helmets are also available in NIOSH-approved (TC# 21C-1389) PAPR versions for increased respiratory protection.

The Sphere X series is available in three models; each tailored for specific welding environments:

Sphere X CLT: Ideal for TIG and precision welding, the CLT offers daylight-like vision with a clear light state of 2.0, minimizing color distortion.

Sphere X Quattro: Built for high-ampere applications and heavy-duty steel construction, this model provides shade levels from 5-13. It has an ISO 16321-2 VI classification for the best viewing angle dependence.

Sphere X 2.5: A versatile all-arounder, this helmet is suitable for MIG, MAG, electrode welding, and grinding. It offers TrueColor View and protection levels from 5 through 12.

All three helmets include a grinding mode and feature ShadeTronic® and FadeTronic technology. The helmets are powered by a battery with an operating time of approximately 1,500 hours.

The Sphere X Series CLT, 2.5, and quattro helmets are also available in a NIOSH-approved PAPR version, TC#21C-1389.
