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.

Toyoda Gosei Invests in Friend Microbe Inc., a Startup Specializing in Wastewater Treatment Technology

Waste reduction using microorganisms

Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:7282) has invested* in Friend Microbe Inc., a startup out of Nagoya University that is growing a wastewater treatment business that uses microorganisms to reduce the waste produced in manufacturing processes.

The wastewater treatment system developed by Friend Microbe breaks down the animal and vegetable oils used in the food industry and elsewhere in a short time using microorganisms, and has proven effectiveness in cutting industrial waste oils by more than 90% and reducing offensive odors. Application of the company’s technology is also promising for the breakdown of the oil content in difficult-to-treat industrial wastewater (mineral oil, etc.) on a level similar to plant- and animal-based oils.

The minimization of waste by 2050 is one of Toyoda Gosei’s long-term environmental goals (2050 Environmental Challenge). In collaboration with Friend Microbe, the company will seek practical application of technology to break down the mineral oil from steering wheel molding processes and mold cutting processes as it pursues sustainable manufacturing with a reduced environmental impact.
