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.

Sony Announces FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM II Lens, YouTube First Look Video at B&H

Sony introduced the second-generation FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II is a lighter, smaller, and sharper ultra-wide zoom lens.

B&H is pleased to announce the all-new Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens, enhancing the original that was released in 2017―it boasts advancements in image quality and autofocus speed, all in a lighter and smaller form factor.

A second-generation update to a popular lens, the FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II Lens is a lighter, smaller, and sharper ultra-wide zoom. Weighing 20% less and measuring 10% smaller than its predecessor, this G Master zoom also features an all-new optical design that offers greater sharpness at the corners, better controlled aberrations, and improved close-up performance for working with nearby subjects. The zoom also sports a faster, more robust AF motor, new de-clickable aperture ring, and a weather-resistant design.

Bringing more exciting news to the ever-growing arsenal of compact photo and video gear is Sony’s improved FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM II lens. Users who are familiar with the original model will promptly notice and experience the enhancements that this successor introduces. First and foremost, Sony has managed to make this lens even smaller and lighter―at 20% lighter and 10% smaller, this lens would be an excellent addition to anyone short on luggage space. What makes it even more remarkable is that, despite a substantial reduction in size, its optical performance has undergone a notable overhaul, as well. Optically, you can expect to see improvements in these four areas:

1. Corner-to-corner resolution at the 16mm and 35mm ends has been greatly improved; you can expect to see increased sharpness and clarity.

2. Chromatic aberration is significantly suppressed; one Super Extra-low dispersion (ED) and two ED glass elements compensate for any unwanted aberrations while maintaining image detail.

3. Flares and ghosting are also greatly negated. Thanks to this, the supplied petal lens hood is now shorter, reducing the minimal profile of this lens.

4. Close-up performance has been boosted, as well, with closer minimum focusing distances. While the minimum focus distance on the original 16-35mm GM was 11.1 inches, users of the second-generation 16-35mm will have a minimum focus distance of 8.6 inches.

On top of all of that, four extreme dynamic linear motors are deployed alongside a floating internal focus system, creating faster autofocus speeds than the original, which was already pretty fast. There are some other nifty features that were pleasant additions, such as an aperture ring with a toggle for clicks, which is perfect for video users who prefer to adjust for exposure on the fly via aperture; two customizable buttons; an iris lock switch; and a fluorine front element coating to repel water, oil, and other contaminants.
