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.

Marotta Controls Confirms Lockheed Martin Control Actuation System is Moving into High Volume Production

Defense Supplier Ramps Production Capacity to Manufacture its First Qualified Control Actuation System in Large Quantities

Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier based in New Jersey, announced today that its custom fin Control Actuation System (CAS) design project for Lockheed Martin has reached completion having achieved full component-level qualification to more than 20 military standards. The qualification process required Marotta to build more than 20 systems to satisfy all required tests, including multiple successful all-up to ground level tests. The CAS is now transitioning from development into high volume production and is positioned to support throughout the life of the program.

This is Marotta’s first CAS to reach both the full component qualification and in-production milestones, solidifying the company’s position as a choice CAS industry supplier committed to meeting customer design and manufacturing requirements. In fact, the company expanded its manufacturing capabilities—facility infrastructure, power resource, test tools, etc.—to support Lockheed Martin’s fulfillment needs and ramp rates entirely in-house.

An Innovative CAS

The electromechanical assembly is a technical achievement that differs from commonly available industry options. The design integrates the actuator with a single electrical board responsible for driving both motors for the two actuator axes. This particular design approach can prove difficult with respect to proper component separation and power isolation. Incorrect configuration of these elements can lead to uncontrolled, high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can ultimately damage the system when in use.

“We’re committed to doing everything within our means to help our customers realize their visions, no matter how complex or challenging,” said Steve Fox, Vice President, Aerospace and Tactical Systems, Marotta Controls. “This is a sophisticated CAS designed to cost from the start. Every technical decision we made deliberately targeted Lockheed Martin’s power, performance, and lightweight specifications within the desired price range. The end product satisfies those requirements while also being smaller and considerably easier to install than competitive solutions.”

Manufacturing & Testing Resource Expansion

As noted above, Marotta recently invested in several production-related elements to ensure timely product delivery. For example, the company expanded its facility by an additional 1,100 square feet to accommodate additional equipment racks and assembly stations. Also related is Marotta’s previously announced investment in state-of-the art test equipment and new testing hubs to support the advanced vibration and environmental qualification requirements—to name a few.
