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.

Wabtec Digital Mine Secures Deals with Global Mining Companies for 3,500 Gen 3 Collision Avoidance Systems

Wabtec (NYSE: WAB) Digital Mine, a leading provider of innovative mining solutions, announced the company received a series of orders for 3,500 of its new Generation 3 Collision Avoidance System (Gen 3 CAS) from three major global mining companies. The capabilities of the new system will drive performance and safety improvements at the customers’ mining operations.

"These orders demonstrate the Gen 3 CAS’s value and rapid market adoption since we launched the system in June,” said Nalin Jain, President, Digital Intelligence for Wabtec. ”The Gen 3 CAS is the only solution aligned with the industry’s best practices that also meets the functionality requirements of our customers.”

Installing Gen 3 CAS across a customer’s mining operations will improve safety, bolstering their zero-harm objectives. By minimizing the risk of vehicle interactions, the Gen 3 CAS will contribute to reduced downtime, increased productivity, and optimized resource utilization. Wabtec's customers can confidently rely on this innovative solution to drive performance and achieve their operational objectives.

Wabtec Digital Mine's Gen 3 CAS offers a range of class-leading advanced capabilities not seen on any other solution. These include predictive beam curving, context-based definitive voice-based alerts, real-time self-test, superior accuracy via Ultra High Precision Global Navigation Satellite Systems, and the most advanced rules and intelligence engine in the industry. The system's brand-new user interface, validated by Professor Robin Burgess-Limerick, a noted human factors expert, has been designed so that vehicle operators receive appropriate feedback from the Gen 3 CAS.

"We are improving safety and operational efficiency, so we have entered into agreements with several global mining companies who recognize the potential of Wabtec Digital Mine's Gen 3 CAS to transform their mining operations," said Jain. "These customers are installing the Gen 3 CAS to enhance their mining fleet's safety standards and performance."

Wabtec Digital Mine's Gen 3 CAS incorporates a brand new, cleaner, simpler user interface with context-based voice alerts that have been built using the latest human factor design. It replaces "beeps-and-buzzer" analog technology with sophisticated, discreet, directional, and audible warnings. This interface enables operators to work without distraction and respond instantaneously to audible alerts.

"We are thrilled that multiple global mining companies have selected Gen 3 CAS for their operations," said Henro van Wyk, Vice President and General Manager of Wabtec Digital Mine. "These deals represent a significant achievement for Wabtec’s Digital Mine team, positioning the business as the global leader in mining technology by redefining the meaning of true collision avoidance. Mining operations using the Gen 3 CAS will achieve new levels of safety, efficiency, and productivity across their mining operations."
