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.

By: via Business Wire

Avison Young project management team collaborates with national owner and operator KBS to attract flight to quality tenants with new amenity spaces in award-winning King of Prussia office building

Jeffrey L. Heller, Principal & Managing Director of the New Jersey offices of leading global commercial real estate firm Avison Young, and KBS, one of the largest investors in premier commercial real estate in the nation, have announced the completion of a series of renovations at 1000 Continental, an award-winning Class-A office building in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The property is part of KBS’ client portfolio.

“As a company with 30+ years of experience owning and operating top-tier office properties, KBS understands the advantages that a refreshed office environment can provide as it welcomes tenants back to the workplace,” said Tracey Kasper, Principal of Project Management for Avison Young. “Avison Young was pleased to deliver for KBS the first round of renovations at 1000 Continental to help maintain the building’s status as a market-leading address.”

“KBS, has used Avison Young’s project and construction management services before, and we are honored they again entrusted us to oversee this renovation at 1000 Continental,” added Kasper.

“KBS is seeing a major flight to quality as office employees return to working in person, so we believed now was the opportune time to invest in these renovations, with another round of upgrades coming, for our tenants at 1000 Continental Drive,” said Luke Hamagiwa, Vice President, Acquisitions and Asset Management at KBS. “It is always a pleasure to collaborate with the Avison Young team, whose expertise has helped us to improve our properties for tenants.”

The projects were led by Avison Young’s senior project manager, Alan Zambarano, with local support from John Colvin, project manager. Alan has been leading capital improvement and tenant projects for Avison Young and has a long-standing relationship with the KBS team, having most recently completed an 8,750 square-foot office renovation at KBS’ CrossPoint building, an award-winning LEED Gold, Wired Scored Gold, Energy Star certified and UL Healthy Building Verified for Indoor Air property in Wayne, Pennsylvania. Zambarano’s project and construction management experience provide the expertise to manage creative solutions within budget parameters.

The major renovations at 1000 Continental include a conferencing center with casual gathering spaces to accommodate anything from smaller board meetings up to larger training requirements. In addition, all of the common areas received a refresh to modernize the public views, including the elevators, lobbies and common corridors. KBS plans to implement further improvements to 1000 Continental as part of a strategic multi-year improvement plan.

Constructed in 2007, 1000 Continental is a 205,424-square-foot, Class-A office building at the intersection of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) and I-76 in King of Prussia. The property, built with LEED Silver Certification and Wired Certified Gold by WiredScore, is also UL Healthy Building Verified for Indoor Air and Energy Star certified. Tenant amenities include a gourmet café, conference center, fitness center, tenant lounge, and a private commuter shuttle to and from the Strafford Train Station. All common areas have been outfitted with Wi-Fi and television monitors, which are located throughout the first and second floor lobbies.
