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.

AGCO’s Fendt® Expands Award-Winning Momentum® Planter Line with 30-Foot Model

New size brings innovative planter to a wider range of smaller operations.

At a Glance: The Fendt® Momentum® 30-Foot Planter

  • The new 30-foot Fendt Momentum planter brings its agronomically advanced planting system to a whole new range of smaller operations.
  • The Momentum planter is now offered in 30- to 60-foot machines with liquid and dry fertilizer systems, and in 12- and 23-row configurations with 30- and 15-inch spacing, respectively.
  • AGCO’s exclusive SmartFrame™ technology puts each row unit in the best possible position for row cleaning, downforce, furrow creation, seed placement and closing.
  • The Vertical Contouring Toolbar (VCT) and its independent floating toolbars follow the topography of your terrain for 52" of vertical planting range.
  • Load Logic™ weight management minimizes soil compaction, and wide in-line tandem wheels eliminate pinch rows.
  • Momentum provides high capacity for seed, liquid fertilizer and dry fertilizer, while its compaction management ensures these large capacities do not negatively impact yields.

AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, announced today the introduction of a new 30-foot model for its Fendt® Momentum® planter line, making its agronomically-advanced capabilities available to a wider range of farming operations.

With the addition of the 30-foot model, Fendt’s AE50 award-winning Momentum planter is now offered in 30- to 60-foot machines with liquid and dry fertilizer systems, and in 12- and 23-row configurations with 30- and 15-inch spacing, respectively.

“We’ve worked hard to expand our product lineup here in North America, and we’re excited to bring greater flexibility to farmers with the Momentum planter line,” said Arthur Santos, marketing manager for Fendt planters at AGCO. “This addition allows family-owned farms and smaller operations to experience the best in agronomic planting, increasing their yields and improving their bottom lines.”

Introduced to North America in 2020, Fendt’s Momentum planter set a new standard for seed placement. It was designed from the ground up to provide optimal seed depth and spacing, regardless of variations in soil moisture or type, residue levels, terrain or operating speed. With its innovative Vertical Contouring Toolbar, Momentum can follow the topography of your terrain, providing 52 inches of vertical planting range. Its exclusive SmartFrame technology puts each row unit in the best possible position for row cleaning, downforce, furrow creation, seed placement and closing.

The all-new 30-foot Fendt Momentum planter also provides high capacity for seed and fertilizer, allowing farmers to plant more quickly without requiring frequent machine reloading. It carries 100 bushels of seed and can handle up to 800 gallons of liquid fertilizer with its newly designed tank, which will be unveiled in 2024.

To eliminate pinch rows, Momentum leverages an in-line tandem wheel design and Very-High Flexion (VF) tires, which provide the flotation advantage of tracks with the high road speed of tires. It can also be equipped with Fendt’s central tire inflation system, which automatically adjusts tire pressure to reduce compaction.

The Momentum planter is designed by a global engineering team and manufactured in Beloit, Kansas. It’s covered by Fendt’s Gold Star Customer Care Program, which includes a full three-year warranty with no deductible and annual postseason inspections.
