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.

Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Places Order for Buses Featuring the Allison eGen Flex™

VTA order represents the largest and most recent in a series of bid awards nationwide for buses equipped with Allison’s revolutionary electric hybrid eGen Flex system.

Allison Transmission is pleased to announce that Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) has selected the Allison eGen Flex™ electric hybrid propulsion system for its fleet of transit buses. VTA has signed an agreement for GILLIG buses equipped with the eGen Flex.

“As the largest order of eGen Flex-equipped buses to date, Allison’s partnership with VTA marks a major milestone in our efforts to equip public transit agencies with next-generation propulsion solutions that reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions,” said Rohan Barua, Allison Transmission Vice President NA Sales, Global Channel, and Aftermarket. “We’re proud to support VTA in its commitment to provide Santa Clara residents with American-made environmentally friendly transportation solutions that are proven and backed by a company that’s been serving the North America transit market since 1947.”

The eGen Flex is the next generation of Allison’s proven H 40/50 EP™ electric hybrid propulsion system that has been supporting accessible and sustainable American mobility in the transit market since 2003. In addition to the benefits provided by the H 40/50 EP, such as improving fuel consumption by up to 25% versus a conventional diesel bus, the eGen Flex provides revolutionary capabilities.

As recently demonstrated in one of the largest transit fleets in North America, the eGen Flex can operate in full engine-off mode up to 50% of the daily duty cycle of a transit bus. It is capable of operating in electric-only mode for up to 10 miles or 50 minutes, multiple times per route and per day. The system’s geofencing technology allows agencies to set designated zero emission zones eliminating engine emissions and noise while loading and unloading passengers, in dense pedestrian areas, in environmentally sensitive areas and bus depots.

“At VTA, our goal is to provide sustainable, accessible transportation options to the community,” said Jim Wilhelm, Manager of Engineering, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. “We look forward to integrating the new buses into our fleet to continue to reduce our carbon footprint.”

Pacific Power Group, an Allison Authorized Distributor located in San Leandro, CA, will provide local service support, warranty, parts and training.
