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.

Allison eGen FlexTM Electric Hybrid Propulsion System Spurs Growth of Clean Transportation in the Midwest

Allison Transmission is pleased to announce the continued success of the next generation eGen Flex™ electric hybrid propulsion system, with several public transit agencies in the Midwest selecting the Allison eGen Flex for their buses.

The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System, which provides public transportation services for Evansville, Indiana, will integrate GILLIG buses equipped with the eGen Flex into its fleet. In addition, GO Transit, based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and the Muncie Indiana Transit System have selected eGen Flex-equipped New Flyer buses for their fleets.

“Allison is proud to partner with public transit agencies across the Midwest to support their efforts to reduce carbon footprints and dependence on fossil fuels in order to protect the environment and enhance quality of life for their passengers,” said David Graziosi, Chairman and CEO, Allison Transmission. “As fleets move to electric hybrid and full EV technology to support sustainability goals, Allison is pleased to be a partner of choice due to our ability to deliver innovative technology specifically designed to meet the needs of the transit industry.”

In addition to this recent growth across the Midwest, Allison announced in June the delivery of the first buses equipped with the eGen Flex electric hybrid propulsion system to IndyGo, the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation.

In-use testing of eGen Flex at one of the largest transit agencies in North America in 2022 confirmed the engine was off over 50% of the time the bus was in operation. As a result, the eGen Flex equipped bus operated in full EV mode for over half of its day. Allison’s eGen Flex system is capable of operating in electric-only mode for up to 10 consecutive miles or 50 minutes, multiple times per route and per day. The system’s geofencing technology eliminates engine emissions and noise while loading and unloading passengers in dense pedestrian areas and in zero-emission zones and bus depots.

Allison’s eGen Flex system is the next generation of Allison’s proven H 40 EPTM electric hybrid propulsion system, which has been operating in transit buses since 2003. Allison electric hybrid systems have accumulated more than 3 billion miles of operation, saved more than 380 million gallons of diesel fuel from being consumed and reduced CO2 emissions by over 3.8 metric tons.
