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.

Blue Bird Appoints Two Vice Presidents Amid Company’s Continued Growth

  • EV Executive Albert Burleigh Named VP, Alternative Fuels
  • Procurement Leader Jeff VanAssche Named VP, Purchasing 

Blue Bird Corporation (Nasdaq: BLBD), the leader in electric and low-emission school buses, today announced the appointment of two new vice presidents with immediate effect. Blue Bird expanded its leadership ranks as it continues to grow its zero- and low-emissions product portfolio and strategic supplier base.

Albert Burleigh has been appointed to vice president of Alternative Fuels. Burleigh will further strengthen Blue Bird’s leading position in electric, propane, and gasoline-powered school buses as school districts nationwide increasingly shift to clean student transportation.

Burleigh joined Blue Bird in May 2007 and has held multiple roles of increasing responsibility. Most recently, he served as executive director of Electric Vehicle (EV) Business Development contributing to exceptional sales and revenue growth. Before then, Burleigh advanced Blue Bird’s business expansion in sales and dealer development positions. Prior to joining Blue Bird, Burleigh worked for Ford Motor Company for 15 years in sales and customer support roles.

Burleigh holds a bachelor of science degree in Marketing from Louisiana State University and a master's degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas at Austin.

Jeff VanAssche has been appointed to vice president of Purchasing. In his new role, VanAssche will optimize Blue Bird’s supplier network, enhance supplier quality, and maintain rigorous cost control.

VanAssche joined Blue Bird in March 2022 as executive director of Purchasing. Before then, he held roles of increasing responsibility in Procurement at Daimler Trucks for seven years, primarily managing the acquisition of powertrain components.

VanAssche holds a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan-Dearborn, a master's degree in Business Administration from Michigan State University, and a doctor of law degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.

“I am pleased to appoint two outstanding Blue Bird executives – Albert Burleigh and Jeff VanAssche – to the rank of vice president,” said Phil Horlock, CEO of Blue Bird Corporation. “Blue Bird is the proven leader in low- and zero-emission school buses. We continue to grow our market share of electric, propane, and gasoline-powered student transportation while strengthening our strategic supplier base. Both leaders and their high-performing teams will play important roles in Blue Bird’s ongoing success story.”
