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.

The product, which has been in development for nearly two years, is the first to utilize UEI’s Tide Dial thermostat architecture, based on UEI’s Comfort Line of Climate Control solutions. Universal Electronics worked to implement METUS’ IT protocol and other requirements into the new Simple Ductless Wired (SDW) controller. The controller’s adapter conveniently plugs into indoor unit control boards.

The SDW controller, which will be sold exclusively through METUS distributors, features a small form factor, a backlit 2.8" color display, and boasts an intuitively-designed and familiar dial knob for temperature control and direct function keys for Mode and Fan control.

“We are honored that METUS has selected our UEI TIDE platform to launch its newest thermostat. We are excited to begin this journey with METUS to bring to market a thermostat that meets the product’s technical requirements and delivers state-of-the-art features and ease-of-use to the company’s end users,” said David Chong, UEI Executive Vice President of Sales.

The new thermostat works with METUS’ existing line of ductless systems and brings new, advanced features including:

  • Enhanced humidity control.
  • Built-in presence detection for automatic screen wake-up mode.
  • Setpoints designed to permit users to reduce temperature at scheduled times for reduced energy usage.

“There is a growing demand for energy efficiency with today’s consumers wanting more control of their energy consumption,” said Charles Miltiades, Director of Controls Experience and Integration, Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US. “Working with Universal Electronics allows us to sell a thermostat solution designed to satisfy those needs.”
