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.

Machina Labs Adds Former SpaceX, Relativity Space, and Carbon Execs to Leadership Team

Manufacturing Innovator Adds Alex Huckstepp and Alexander Kwan

Machina Labs today announced the expansion of its executive team to include advanced manufacturing veterans Alex Huckstepp and Alexander Kwan. Mr. Huckstepp is Machina Labs’ new Vice President of Sales, while Mr. Kwan joins as Vice President of Operations.

Huckstepp is a longtime industry expert in the fields of additive and advanced manufacturing. He has spent over a decade partnering with the most innovative people and companies to pull future technologies into today’s previously impossible products and processes. He has operated at the intersection of the next generation of materials, manufacturing, and design technologies. Prior to joining Machina Labs, Huckstepp ran sales & business development at ARRIS and Digital Alloys, where he built large books of business with industry-leading brands, and before that led sales and business development for the transportation industry at the 3D printing technology company Carbon.

Also joining Machina Labs is Alexander Kwan, who brings extensive industry experience across aerospace, manufacturing, and software development. He has a demonstrated track record of scaling businesses from founding teams to nationwide enterprises. Prior to joining Machina Labs, Kwan was most recently co-founder and CEO of Y Combinator-backed Tragen. Before then, he was part of the founding team at Relativity Space where he put in place the business infrastructure needed to scale the company to hundreds of employees across four states. Machina Labs CEO Edward Mehr worked closely with Kwan during his own tenure as an early Relativity Space employee. Alexander started out his career in private equity, before making the jump into startups doing commercial sales at SpaceX.

“Alexander Kwan brings a unique blend of operations, growth, startup culture along with expertise in aerospace, defense and more,” said Edward Mehr, CEO of Machina Labs. “Similarly, Alex Huckstepp combines exceptional business development expertise with technical acumen in additive and advanced manufacturing. If I were to draw up a list of ideal qualifications for both VP of Sales and Operations, I couldn’t have done better than these two individuals.”

Unlocking Manufacturing through Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Machina Labs is introducing unseen flexibility and agility to the manufacturing industry. At Machina, we help visionary designers turn their dreams into reality using the world’s most adaptable manufacturing platform. Machina combines the latest advances in AI and robotics to deliver finished products in weeks – not months or years – and give customers unprecedented time to market and competitive advantage.

Robotic sheet metal forming is the first process enabled by the platform. Using material- and geometry-agnostic technology, the Machina Labs platform outperforms traditional sheet metal methods that rely on custom, costly tooling. The companies’ dieless robotic sheet forming process can reduce the time to produce your first part from months to just hours, even minutes. This process eliminates the cost of designing and manufacturing molds and dies, which in traditional manufacturing can cost up to $1M per design.
