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.

SFMTA Acquires 30 Hybrid-Electric ENC E-Z Rider II® 30’ Low-Floor Buses

By: via Business Wire

ElDorado National (California), a subsidiary of REV Group® and industry leader in rightsized heavy-duty transit buses, announced today that San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has awarded a contract for 30 thirty-foot hybrid-electric E-Z Rider II model heavy-duty transit buses for its Municipal Railway (Muni) bus service through ENC’s California based dealer, Creative Bus Sales.

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) is a department of the City and County of San Francisco responsible for the management of all ground transportation in the city. The SFMTA has oversight over Muni public transit; the first major, publicly owned and municipally operated transit agency in the nation and known as the “People’s Railway” since opening day on December 28, 1912. The diverse Muni fleet— including cable cars, streetcars, light rail, electric trolley coaches, and hybrid buses — and its significance as the first municipal system, give Muni a special place in San Francisco history and the story of American transportation.

“We are thrilled to bring these new hybrid-electric buses to the streets of San Francisco,” said Julie Kirschbaum, SFMTA Director of Transit. "These small but mighty buses will greatly improve service and reliability to our hilltop residents—making a big difference in dependability and crosstown connections.”

“ENC is excited to commence our first bus build partnership with SFMTA and Muni,” said Mike Ammann, Vice President of Sales, ElDorado National (California). “SFMTA has a reputation for delivering exceptional transportation service to the Bay Area. We look forward to working with the team on their new 30’ E-Z Rider II hybrid-electric low-floor buses. These buses will utilize the Allison Hybrid EP™ system which dramatically reduces both diesel fuel consumption and CO2 emissions as compared to a conventional diesel transit bus.”

The new E-Z Rider II buses are part of SFMTA’s ongoing effort to modernize its Muni fleet to benefit customers and reduce maintenance costs. The heavy-duty E-Z Rider II 30’ low-floor buses will be specifically designed to accommodate the unique operating routes which have up to a 21% grade. The short wheelbase design is ideal for navigating the congested neighborhoods and downtown areas where a conventional 40’ bus cannot fit or is not desired.
