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.

Materion Will Supply Advanced Materials for MARVEL Microreactor Project

Beryllium and Beryllium Oxide Products to Enable Clean Energy Solutions

Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN), a global leader in advanced materials solutions, has entered into a purchase agreement to supply beryllium and beryllium oxide materials for a nuclear microreactor test bed being developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This test bed will support microreactor development, including the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation Project (MARVEL). The purchase agreement will commence in 2023.

“With the increasing focus on developing transportable clean energy solutions, Materion is pleased to be part of the MARVEL project that will fast track development and commercialization of microreactors and supporting infrastructure,” said Clive Grannum, president of Materion Performance Materials. “In addition to INL, Materion is working closely with all our nuclear energy customers, both current and prospective, to align our products with the evolving requirements of the industry today and into the future.”

MARVEL is an experimental sodium-potassium-cooled microreactor under construction that will test microreactor applications and control technologies. It will also test microreactor capabilities for a variety of electrical and nonelectrical applications, including water purification and low-grade heat production for district heating and greenhouse climate control.

“Beryllium is the best neutron reflecting material on the periodic table, and it allows more efficient use of the nuclear fuel,” said Yasir Arafat, INL’s project lead for MARVEL. “Materion has the capability to deliver high-quality, nuclear-grade beryllium for DOE’s MARVEL microreactor.”
