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.

McNeilus recently ramped up production on a state-of-the-art manufacturing line. McNeilus’ high flow line features several Industry 4.0 technologies, including autonomous robotics, a cloud-based manufacturing execution system (MES), connected tooling and more. The initial focus is on building McNeilus® rear loader products. High flow lines for side loaders and front loaders are underway with launches planned over the next couple of years.

“We’re transforming the way refuse collection vehicles are built and delivered,” said Jeff Koga, vice president and general manager for McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing. “With our uniquely scalable manufacturing process, we’re building these trucks with cutting-edge technology, with streamlined and repeatable processes, and with team members who are proud to support our customers’ mission to keep communities clean.”

The company has also expanded its McNeilus Fleet Solutions™ program, adding a new 30,000 square-foot building at its Minnesota headquarters dedicated to joint pre-delivery inspection (JPDI). JPDI is an elevated standard for refuse vehicle inspection designed by McNeilus and launched in partnership with key fleet customers, chassis suppliers and dealers to drive improvements in lead times and deliver the quality customers are expecting.

Over the past two years, the company has also implemented robotic welding and robotic painting processes and constructed new manufacturing, training and office space at its Minnesota headquarters dedicated to innovation and customer support. Additionally, a 135,000 square-foot warehouse in Lakeville, MN, was dedicated to serve as a central hub for inventory, parts kitting and consolidated packing capabilities. This year, McNeilus is upgrading and expanding its research and development facility and other support buildings on campus.

“Our goal with every investment, every project and product at McNeilus is to offer an exceptional experience – with advanced technology, consistency and outstanding quality – to our customers and our team members,” said Koga. “These upgrades are just the beginning of the advancements you’ll see in the future from McNeilus.”

McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing employs nearly 800 people at its headquarters in Dodge Center, MN, and another 200 team members across the U.S. McNeilus refuse collection vehicles can be found throughout North America and across the globe from the United Kingdom to Southeast Asia to Latin America.
