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.

IDEX Corporation to Acquire KZValve Business, Expanding Solutions for Agriculture & Industrial Applications

IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire KZ CO. (“KZValve”), a leading manufacturer of electric valves and controllers used primarily in the agriculture market.

Founded in 1976, KZValve is recognized as an innovative provider of high value agricultural components that are designed to operate in harsh environments to support modern farming operations. The company creates and manufactures a variety of precision farming components including waterproof motorized valves, manifolds, controllers and other accessories. Besides agriculture, the company serves other segments including water filtration, de-icing and anti-icing, and emergency fire services. KZValve employs about 100 people.

The acquisition of KZValve will augment and further expand IDEX’s agricultural product portfolio, complementing Banjo Corporation’s current fluid management solutions for this market. KZValve will become part of the agriculture group within IDEX’s Fluid & Metering Technologies (FMT) segment. This transaction is part of IDEX’s continued strategy to invest in core businesses with secular growth tailwinds while investigating near adjacencies.

“Adding KZValve to the IDEX family of companies will extend our expertise in providing OEMs with critical solutions for agriculture and industrial applications, opening access to new product opportunities,” IDEX Chief Executive Officer and President Eric Ashleman said. “In our unique structure, companies retain a great deal of autonomy, while benefitting from the resources and operating model at IDEX. KZValve is a high-quality addition to our portfolio of businesses, with strong customer relationships and differentiated products that will continue building our innovative presence in the agriculture industry.”

Headquartered in Greenwood, Nebraska, KZValve is expected to have sales of approximately $28.0 million in FY2022. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of FY2022, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
