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.

U.S. Marine Corps Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle Prototypes Feature Allison Transmissions

Allison’s 3000 Specialty Series™ transmission chosen by both manufacturers competing for the Marine Corps’ newest wheeled armored vehicle prototype

Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions for tactical wheeled and tracked defense vehicles, and medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles is an active participant in the U.S. Marine Corps’ combat vehicle modernization plan. Both Textron Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems have been down-selected by the Marine Corps to build prototypes for the Advanced Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV) competition and both are equipped with an Allison Specialty Series transmission as their propulsion solution.

The Marine Corps also announced it will work with BAE Systems to study the possibility of adapting their Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) to become the ARV. BAE’s ACV, which entered full rate production in February 2021, uses an Allison 4000 Specialty Series transmission.

“Allison takes great pride collaborating with leading defense partners, providing propulsion solutions for their vehicles, and meeting the requirements of the U.S military and our customers around the world,” said Dana Pittard, Vice President for Defense Programs at Allison Transmission.

The Marine Corps is looking to replace its fleet of Light Armored Vehicles as part of the Marine Corps’ modernization. The ARV will weigh less than 37,000 pounds and requires the power and torque to maneuver effectively on land and sea; under extreme conditions through the surf zone, across sandy soil, and into combat action.

“Allison’s fully automatic transmissions are engineered without compromise, and deliver Continuous Power Technology™ for smooth, seamless, full-power shifts and superior acceleration. Allison Automatics have no power interrupts during shift changes making the best use of the engine’s horsepower and torque by delivering more power to the wheels, and allowing the vehicle crew to focus on mission accomplishment,” said Pittard.

The two OEMs are expected to deliver their prototype vehicles in 2023 followed by a rigorous six-month government evaluation. In its solicitation to industry, the Marine Corps said it may pursue a production effort upon successful completion of the prototype project, and build approximately 500 vehicles over five years.
