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.

Trex Expands Transcend® Lineage™ Line With Two New Colors and an Extended 50-year Warranty

On the heels of the successful launch of Trex Transcend® Lineage in mid-2022, the composite decking leader is adding two new colors to the luxury line for 2023. Expanding its industry-leading decking portfolio, these new hues boast premium aesthetics, heat-mitigating technology, and superior performance backed by an impressive 50-year warranty.

“The response to Lineage both from the field and consumers has been positive,” said Leslie Adkins, vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative composite decking and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products. “The subtle hues and nature-inspired nuances of Lineage boards are sought after by design-savvy homeowners looking to elevate the aesthetics and ease of their outdoor spaces. With the addition of these new colors, there are now Lineage options for any setting and style preference.”

Two New Hues

Trex Transcend Lineage builds upon the impeccable pedigree of Trex Transcend® decking with boards that feature the same high-performance and low-maintenance benefits with refined aesthetics that deliver an unmatched natural appearance. Initially launched in two colors, the lineup now includes four luxurious, on-trend hues inspired by some of the most picturesque locales in the United States:

  • Carmel (NEW!) – a creamy taupe that embodies the glow of white sands and Cyprus-covered cliffs, integrating a toasty brown shade with grey undertones
  • Jasper (NEW!) – a deep shade of mocha reminiscent of old-growth forests and rocky mountainsides, incorporating a rich umber hue and delicate streaking
  • Biscayne – a light coastal brown that captures the beauty of mangroves and sandy coasts with light honey hues and a natural grain pattern
  • Rainier – an airy, mountain grey that mirrors white-capped mountains and wooded sounds with its soft silver tones and delicate graining

“The latest generation of homeowners came of age immersed in design inspiration – from magazines and television to Instagram and TikTok,” said Adkins. “They confidently bring their own personal styles into their homes and seek to integrate that style with their outdoor living spaces as well, so it’s important that we offer products that not only cater to their lifestyles but also to their sophisticated design sensibilities.”

Cool Composition

In addition to their elevated design, Lineage boards are Trex’s coolest of all – literally! Heat-mitigating properties engineered into the shell reflect the sun and keep boards cooler* than other composite decking offerings of a similar color.

“Lineage represents the continued evolution of composite decking from the brand that started it all,” said Adkins. “With these design and engineering enhancements, Trex continues to lead innovation and raise the bar for the entire category.”

Like all Trex decking, Lineage boards are sustainably made from 95% recycled and reclaimed content and engineered with a proprietary, high-traffic formulation and ultra-durable integrated shell that resists stains, scratches and mold. They won’t rot, warp, crack or splinter like wood – and upkeep is hassle-free. No sanding, staining or painting is ever needed, and spills wash off easily with just soap and water.

Trex Transcend Lineage is available in square and grooved profiles, measuring 1"x6". Square-edge boards come in 16’ and 20’ lengths. Grooved boards come in 12’, 16’ and 20’ lengths and accommodate the Trex Hideaway® Hidden Fastening System, which allows for a smooth, unfettered finish free of nails and other visible fasteners. Coordinating fascia is available in 1"x8" and 1"x12" sizes.

50-year Warranty

In conjunction with the launch of the new Lineage colors, Trex is introducing a 50-year limited warranty for all Trex Transcend and Trex Transcend Lineage decking products. Double the length of previous warranties, this increase is part of a new tiered structure across the Trex decking portfolio designed to better align with the company’s tiered product lineup.

In addition to increasing warranty length for its top-of-the-line Transcend products, Trex also has increased the warranties for its Trex Select® decking from 25 to 35 years. Trex Enhance® products retain their current 25-year warranties, and all Trex decking products continue to be backed by a 10-year Commercial Warranty.

“Trex Transcend Lineage is a next generation product for a new generation of homeowners,” said Adkins. “It is also engineered to last for generations, as evidenced by this new 50-year warranty, connoting our confidence in its enduring beauty and performance.”

*DISCLAIMER: Although Trex Transcend Lineage is designed to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color, on a hot sunny day, it will get hot. On hot days, care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
