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.

LeoStella and BlackSky Selected for Space Development Agency Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit program

The Space Development Agency (SDA) has selected LeoStella to support the Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit (HALO) program. This is a novel opportunity for nontraditional defense contractors to work directly with SDA for rapid on-orbit mission feasibility prototypes. Partnering with BlackSky, as a subcontractor for this competitive program, LeoStella, as a small satellite manufacturer, is now pre-qualified to work directly with SDA to develop on-orbit mission-feasibility prototypes.

“This new, innovative program will be an integral tool for the Government to engage with industry. This award enables SDA to leverage nearly 60 years of successful on-orbit experience with a proven heritage across more than 20 satellites that deliver real-time space-based monitoring capabilities,” said LeoStella Board Member and BlackSky Chief Operating Officer Nick Merski. “We appreciate SDA’s innovative approach to acquisition problem solving. This contract enables users to combine industry innovation and apply it to current and future SDA mission needs on mission-ready timelines.”

“SDA is proud to welcome 19 vendors into the first-ever HALO pool,” said SDA Director Derek Tournear. “This creative award solution enables SDA to quickly compete, build, and fly demonstration missions to burn down risk for the future of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. We also hope, through the HALO pool, to build a broader base of vendors that can compete for work on operational layers of future tranches.”

LeoStella is focused on developing common, agile solutions for missions and putting that design into high-rate production. Under Hybrid Acquisition for Proliferated Low-Earth Orbit and SDA’s forward-leaning mission, innovators can rapidly build, test, and procure small satellite capabilities. LeoStella was designed for rapid and agile manufacturing to produce high-capability satellites affordably and at scale. LeoStella has successfully delivered 23 satellites since its founding in 2018, with 19 satellites currently flying in LEO. These satellites have a notable track record of providing revenue-generating data to customers with more than 99 percent uptime. With this award, LeoStella and BlackSky can compete for upcoming Tranche 3 SDA opportunities.
