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.

Leonardo DRS On Board Vehicle Power System Shines in Major U.S. Army Evaluation

Leonardo DRS, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today that it has successfully demonstrated its On Board Vehicle Power (OBVP) technology to provide vehicle-based electrical power in support of vehicle-based weapon systems.

The OBVP demonstration was part of a recent U.S. Army Operational User Assessment focused on vehicle to vehicle, and vehicle to grid power generation and power management. DRS installed its OBVP systems on the THAAD Launch Control Station FMTV, Tactical Operation Station FMTV, and the THAAD Launcher HEMTT for this assessment.

The DRS OBVP system is a vehicle-based generator using a permanent magnet machine integrated within an Allison transmission that provides electrical power to support operations in remote areas. To meet the Army’s power needs, OBVP systems are integrated within the vehicle transmission to generate up to 55kW of usable electrical power while on the move, or up to 125kW of usable electrical power while stationary. The DRS OBVP system has proven it can increase battlefield agility, reduce deployment logistics costs, and improve mission readiness with no impact on vehicle functionality.

“This successful demonstration once again showed how vehicle-based electrical power generation can be employed in remote areas where the concern about contested logistics is a reality,” said Bill Guyan, senior vice president and general manager of the Leonardo DRS Land Electronics business unit. “Our OBVP technology is a mature system and purpose-built to be a force-multiplier by reducing deployment logistics and provide a range of power solutions to the growing power need. It gives users clean electrical power anywhere, and anytime.”

The Operational User Assessment was conducted at McGregor Range in New Mexico. The event was the culminating event of the Secure Tactical Advance Mobile Power (STAMP) Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD) sponsored by Army Futures Command. The objective of the STAMP JCTD effort is to rapidly demonstrate and deliver a significant operational capability to the Combatant Commands.

This demonstration was the latest for the DRS OBVP system which has shown its proven capabilities in various technical demonstrations and evaluations to include the Army Expeditionary Warfare Experiment, Network Integration Evaluation, the U.S. Marine Corps Limited User Test, and other THAAD missile support operations vehicle tests. OBVP is a mature system that is ready to address mission power requirements.

Leonardo DRS is a leading provider of next-generation electrical power and propulsion technology for the U.S. military. Investments in the company’s market-leading propulsion and power generation technology for the Navy have created opportunities to use proven electric power generation for Army platforms. DRS solutions are leading the way in providing mission assured power to support the increased power requirements of current and future Navy ships and Army platforms.
