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 CATV program proves the versatility and power of Allison’s propulsion solutions. The CATV is a light tracked vehicle powered by a transmission normally used in a medium-duty truck or Stryker wheeled combat vehicle,” said Dana Pittard, Vice President, Defense Programs, Allison Transmission. “Our transmission successfully performed down to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, effortlessly moved a 10,000-pound payload, climbed 60-degree slopes and had the superior reliability and torque to accomplish the challenging Alaskan amphibious swim test.”

The U.S. Army operates in a variety of grueling conditions including Arctic regions and other extreme cold weather environments. The CATV is a tracked vehicle that will provide transportation for up to ten soldiers, emergency medical evacuation, communication and general cargo transportation on- and off-road in an arctic environment under a wide range of otherwise impassable terrain, including ice and extreme cold weather conditions, to support missions involving homeland security, humanitarian assistance and search and rescue.

The Allison 3000 Specialty Series™ transmission, paired with next generation controls, provides optimal maneuverability across varying surfaces, which is key to the effectiveness of the Beowulf vehicle’s articulated mobility system. In addition to the proven durability and reliability of the Specialty Series transmission, Allison engineers have continued to refine the transmission to accommodate future controls evolutions, enabling continued advancements in system performance over the life cycle of the vehicle.
