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.

The 4500 RDS fully automatic transmission has been offered in the Mack Granite diesel model for over 20 years. When Mack set out to develop a vehicle for refuse collection customers seeking an alternative fuel solution, they were able to seamlessly pair the proven 4500 RDS transmission with a 320-horsepower Cummins L9N engine. The CNG-powered Mack Granite truck will enable customers to reduce emissions to meet upcoming changes to regulatory standards.

“The CNG Granite model is a perfect example of Mack’s ability to produce customized trucks that meet the needs of our customers,” said Jonathan Randall, President, Mack Trucks North America. “Our refuse customers asked for a CNG-powered Granite, and through our partnerships with Allison and Cummins, we delivered a solution that offers the durability, reliability and driver comfort that Mack is known for, with the added benefit of reduced emissions and noise levels.”

Allison’s collaboration with Mack on the CNG model is a testament to the company’s commitment to offering a portfolio of conventional, electric hybrid and fully electric propulsion solutions designed to meet the needs of customers as they strive to reduce emissions.

“Allison transmissions, when paired with natural gas engines, have the ability to deliver up to 90% noise reduction compared to a diesel-powered vehicle,” said Rohan Barua, Vice President, North America Sales, Global Channel and Aftermarket, Allison Transmission. “The CNG-powered Mack Granite will enable customers to optimize the productivity of their fleets, improve fuel economy, and reduce noise and emissions. We are pleased to partner with Mack on this sustainability initiative.”
