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.

IndyGo Partners with Allison Transmission to Expand Electric Hybrid Fleet in Indianapolis

Recently awarded funding from the Federal Transit Administration will bolster the transit agency’s efforts to replace older buses with fully electric-capable alternatives.

Allison Transmission is pleased to announce that the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) is applying its recent $19 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) 2023 Low or No Emission and Grants for Buses and Bus Facilities Competitive Programs toward expanding its fleet of 40-foot GILLIG buses equipped with the Allison eGen Flex™ electric hybrid propulsion system. The new buses will replace older vehicles in IndyGo’s fleet with clean, quiet, modern transportation that will help reduce emissions and improve air quality and service reliability.

“Receiving this money for these buses will further the progress we’ve already made as we work to continually reduce harmful emissions in the downtown core of Indianapolis,” said Inez Evans, President and CEO, IndyGo. “We’re grateful for these funds and the continued support from the FTA in helping empower us to come closer to reaching our near-zero emissions goals and safely move Indianapolis forward.”

The Allison eGen Flex is capable of operating up to 50% of a bus’s route in engine-off mode. The system’s electric-only mode is activated through geofencing technology and eliminates engine emissions and noise while loading and unloading passengers and when operating in pre-defined dense pedestrian areas and zero-emission zones. To date, electric hybrid buses that IndyGo has put into service have saved over 20,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions and over 2,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

“We’re honored to play a critical role in advancing clean public transportation in Indianapolis and supporting IndyGo’s sustainability goals,” said Rohan Barua, Vice President, North America Sales, Global Channel and Aftermarket at Allison Transmission. “Allison has been manufacturing electric hybrid propulsion solutions for the transit market for nearly 20 years, and we remain committed to collaborating with transit agencies nationwide to support them in their transition to net-zero emissions technology.”
