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.

Teledyne FLIR Awarded $500 Million U.S. Army Contract for Family of Weapons Sights-Individual Program

Lightweight thermal imaging system allows soldiers to see targets and conduct operations day or night, through smoke and fog, in all weather conditions

Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), announced that it has won a five-year, firm-fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract worth up to $500.2 million to provide advanced thermal imaging systems for the U.S. Army’s Family of Weapons Sights-Individual (FWS-I) program.

The Family of Weapon Sights-Individual system can be mounted on individual weapons and provides a soldier with infrared imagery in all-weather environments, under all lighting conditions, and through obscurants such as smoke or fog.

The FWS-I program falls under the auspices of the Army’s Program Executive Office Soldier. The award was made through U.S. Army Contracting Command, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

“We are very pleased to bring the Family of Weapon Sights-Individual’s next-generation imaging technology to our soldiers on the ground, on the frontlines, where it’s needed most,” said Robert Mehrabian, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teledyne Technologies. “This substantial program award is a milestone achievement for Teledyne FLIR and a testament to their leadership in thermal imaging for more than 40 years. We look forward to working with the U.S. Army to deliver these important systems to soldiers in the coming years.”

FWS-I is a lightweight, battery-operated thermal imaging system for reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition mounted on individual weapons. In addition, FWS-I wirelessly transmits the weapon sight crosshair and thermal imagery to soldiers’ Enhanced Night Vision Goggle (ENVG) III and ENVG-Binocular, providing a Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA) capability. RTA enables soldiers to detect, recognize and engage targets accurately from any carry position and with greatly reduced exposure to enemy fire.

Teledyne FLIR will produce the FWS-I at its facilities in Billerica, Massachusetts and Goleta, California. Maztech Industries, based in Irvine, California, will serve as subcontractor and system design lead.
