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.

AGCO’s 2024 AE50-Winning Products Focused on Farmers’ Needs

The Fendt 200 Vario® Series is the brand’s smallest tractor, but it combines all the world-class features Fendt customers expect of its larger tractors with versatility, lightweight maneuverability and high performance to deliver a feeling of ease, even in tough or unique crop conditions. Fendt 200 Vario tractors are available in North America in three models ranging from 94 to 114 rated horsepower and are available in a standard configuration or in three crop variants as the most advanced specialty tractor on the market today. The tractors are powered by the highly reliable AGCO Power™ 3.3 L engine and feature the unique Fendt Vario CVT, allowing operators to spend more time and effort focusing on the task at hand instead of shifting gears.

Fendt’s 600 Vario Series tractor features the all-new AGCO Power Core 50, 4-cylinder, 5.0-liter engine in four models from 164 to 224 maximum horsepower. Coupled with the intelligent Fendt VarioDrive™ CVT transmission, the tractor’s engine produces an efficient and easy-to-operate powertrain that will improve farm productivity. All models have Dynamic Performance (DP) capabilities, which allow the release of up to 15 additional horsepower with the use of smart sensors that determine power demand. The Fendt 600 Vario debuted at Agritechnica 2023 and will be available in North America in 2024.

The Massey Ferguson 500R Series sprayer is a straightforward, dependable and economical option for growers to help them take control of their chemical application, improve yields and reduce costs. The MF 500R comes standard with LiquidLogic®, which ensures constant circulation through the entire system and offers boom clean out, product recovery and no spray priming capabilities, reducing costs and waste. Smart all-wheel drive (AWD) with the transmission management system allows the machine to operate at a lower engine RPM to save fuel while maintaining pump pressure and spray pattern, ground speed and hydraulic flow. The MF 500R rounds out a complete product lineup for Massey Ferguson from ground prep to harvesting.

The Massey Ferguson 3 Series Specialty tractors consist of seven models across three versions that focus on meeting the specific and rugged requirements of vineyards and fruit orchards at an affordable price. The MF 3 Series features Stage 5-compliant engines, transmissions with up to 30 speeds, a new operator interface and the brand’s global ‘Saber’ styling scheme. The MF 3 Series offers a wide variety of power settings and modern specifications, including the 3VI.95 at widths down to 39.4 inches (1.0 meters), and the 3GE.95 and 3GE.105 with minimal steering wheel heights of 30.7 inches. The Massey Ferguson 3 Series Specialty tractors debuted at select farm shows across North America in 2023 and will be available in 2024 after World Ag Expo.

The Massey Ferguson 9S Series tractor expands the brand’s award-winning S Series into the 285-425 hp segment. The 9S provides a superior planting, baling and tillage solution with intuitive operation, ergonomics and increased dependability. The 9S’ 90 gallon-per-minute ECO pump delivers additional hydraulic flow to maximize Precision Planting components at a remarkable 1650 engine RPM, reducing fuel usage and cabin noise levels. The innovative Protect-U™ cab design produces a 69db cabin environment for comfortable and straightforward operation. The 9S’ improved turning axle achieves a 10% improvement in turning radius for more efficient turning on the headlands, which saves operator time and reduces soil impact. The Massey Ferguson 9S tractor debuted at Agritechnica 2023 and will be available in North America in 2024.

Precision Planting’s SymphonyNozzle™ is a pulse width modulation system (PWM) that allows for independent rate and pressure control in self-propelled or pull-type sprayers. These capabilities allow for a consistent droplet size to be maintained across the field regardless of changes to rate or operating speed, providing consistent spraying efficacy across the entire field. SymphonyNozzle’s design enables farmers to retrofit existing sprayers that have traditional nozzles into more accurate PWM systems. The nozzle is easy to install and simple to service and uses point-to-point electronic architecture as opposed to large harnesses on each half of the sprayer. The SymphonyNozzle body is toolless to disassemble for easy cleanout and replacement is easy. Check valves can also be moved to either side of the nozzle body without tools for further ease of installation.
