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 Releases Compact Solenoid Valves for Light Payload LEO Rockets

Growing Launch Vehicle Market Segment to Benefit from Easy-to-design-in, Cost-efficient Valves Meeting Space Quality Standards

Today, Marotta Controls, a rapidly growing aerospace and defense supplier with a 65-year-plus heritage in spaceflight, announced availability of a new cartridge solenoid valve engineered for small- to medium-lift rockets as well as small (cube) satellites. The PLV623 is a compact 3-way, 2-position direct acting solenoid valve constructed to control cold inert gases. Marotta’s space-grade valves are designed with minimal parts and common metals—giving customers access to valves offering the high levels of performance and reliability synonymous with the Marotta brand at a price competitive with lower-cost, disposable valves in this sector.

Serving Low Cost, High Quantity Valve Demand

In early 2021, Allied Market Research projected that the CubeSat satellite market will reach $491.3 million by 2027, demonstrating a 15% CAGR from 2020. Logically, there is a related demand increase for smaller, cost-efficient space launch vehicles to service this market. Research indicates that small satellite vehicles encompassed the highest market share in 2019 and are expected to be the largest growth segment by 2027.

“Space launch vehicles vary by application, by payload, by several different factors. It makes sense then that there be products designed to cater to specific missions to ensure the return on investment is there as well as the functionality,” said Maxwell Wolfinger, Vice President, Space Systems, Marotta, Marotta Controls. “The PLV623 was designed for customers seeking to access Marotta’s quality and trusted performance, but within the budgets commensurate with smaller launch vehicles.”

The PLV623 valve’s simplicity enables quick and easy installation. The devices are qualified to the Air Force Space Command’s (AFSC) SMC-S-016 standard and are put through Marotta’s advanced cleaning and testing processes used for all space-bound hardware. This valve reduces part count by more than 50% over similar-spec legacy solenoid valves yielding similar cost savings.

Key specifications include:

  • Measurements: 1.64” x 4.45” (4.1 cm x 11.3 cm)
  • Pressure range: 0 to 5,500 psig (0 to 37.9 MPa)
  • Operating temperature: -65°F to 140°F (-53°C to 60°C)
  • Flow capacity: 0.14” (3.56 mm) ESEOD @ Cd=0.6
  • Weight: <0.9 lb (0.4 kg)
  • Response time: <40 msec

“Inarguably, electronics are getting smarter, smaller, more efficient. Launch vehicles are following suit. Internet connectivity is on a steady rise. The demand for newer and more satellites is outpacing these trends as satellite internet comes to the forefront. We're proud to be an enabling partner to all the new competitors in this market,” continued Wolfinger.
