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.

Wabtec to Improve Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority Passenger Comfort with new HVAC Systems

Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today a contract to supply heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units for 56 new Stadler trains that will be operated by the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). The state-of-the-art systems will provide passengers with a comfortable commute, especially during the hot and humid Atlanta summers.

“We are proud to be supporting the fleet renewal for Atlanta’s public transit system and expand our transit operations in the United States,” said Pino Cordini, Managing Director for Wabtec’s Transit segment. “Our service-proven HVAC system will improve the passenger experience by providing a comfortable cabin environment on MARTA trains regardless of extreme seasonal temperature.”

Under this contract, Wabtec will provide 336 HVAC units. 224 will be installed in passenger cars and 112 units in driver cabins.

The flat, double-sided roof units are designed to be mounted in the middle of cars and have air handling on each side. This special design provides additional cooling and heating capacity.

The HVAC order represents the latest chapter in Wabtec’s successful collaboration with Stadler and marks the first subway order with the car builder in the United States. In the updated agreement, initially signed in 2019, Stadler will supply 56 CQ400 trainsets with four cars each. The trains will be assembled at the Stadler plant in Salt Lake City.

“Public transport projects in U.S. cities are increasing,” added Cordini. “Wabtec is proud to leverage its global expertise help deliver safe, comfortable transit systems to the metro Atlanta region.”

Atlanta is the ninth-largest city in the United States. The MARTA rail network consists of four heavy rail lines. The Blue and Green lines travel east-west, while the Red and Gold lines form a north-south axis. With 38 stations spread across 48 miles (77 km) of lines, the rail line carries 217,000 passengers a day.
