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.

TriMas Announces Winner of Its Annual Kaizen Challenge

Internal Competition Exemplifies the Company’s Commitment to Continuous Improvement

TriMas (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced the winner of its 2023 TriMas Kaizen Challenge. The winning project was submitted by a dedicated team at RSA Engineered Products, part of the TriMas Aerospace group and based in Simi Valley, California. The winning Kaizen project focused on enhancing a final stage operation within the production of flexible joints used in aerospace ducting and air conveyance applications.

TriMas launched its annual, enterprise-wide Kaizen Challenge six years ago, as a core component of its TriMas Business Model, to promote a relentless commitment to continuous improvement. Since its introduction, more than 175 of the Company’s top product, process and service-related projects from 27 different locations in 10 countries have been submitted to its internal competition. Each year, the Company evaluates its most impactful Kaizen projects, selecting winning teams based on specific criteria that include positive and sustainable impacts on performance, along with a demonstrated use of employee engagement and Kaizen tools.

“This year’s TriMas Kaizen Challenge submissions reached an unprecedented level of quality,” stated Thomas Amato, TriMas President & CEO. “I extend my appreciation to all of our Kaizen project teams worldwide for their dedicated efforts each year. Embracing a culture of Kaizen has proven to be an effective strategy for TriMas, leveraging employee engagement to identify the most efficient methods to improve our processes, products and customer service.”

RSA Engineered Products’ project was a cross-functional team effort, culminating in the presentation delivered by Zach Chill, Manufacturing Engineering Manager. Utilizing the tools of Kaizen, the team focused on novel approaches to eliminate process “muda” or waste, while also enhancing quality. The data captured by the team used traditional methods embodied in a culture of Kaizen, benefiting the Company.

In addition, the following locations were named as finalists in the 2023 TriMas Kaizen Challenge:

  • TriMas Packaging group: Haining, China; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Denver, Colorado
  • TriMas Aerospace group: City of Industry, California

“Congratulations again to our 2023 winner, top finalists and submitting teams, and I look forward to another year of our leadership championing a culture of continuous improvement across our businesses,” concluded Amato.
