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.

Frontgrade’s SADA-150 technology is designed to improve the energy efficiency of solar power distribution onboard a spacecraft by accurately positioning and optimizing the orientation of its solar panels, which helps ensure a consistent, reliable power source for each mission. The SADA-150 is currently operating on spacecraft around MARS and on its surface, evidence of the system’s robustness in a deep space environment.

“The flight heritage of our SADA-150 represents Frontgrade’s ongoing commitment to deliver highly reliable, assured components for critical space applications,” said Lorne Graves, Chief Technology Officer at Frontgrade Technologies. “We focus on providing customers with SWaP-C products like our SADAs and rad-hard stepper motor controllers and ensuring that they meet critical design requirements for the most complex missions.”

Frontgrade leverages its extensive in-house qualification and functional testing capabilities across the company’s motion control portfolio, including the SADA-150. Each SADA runs through shock, vibration, and temperature testing to ensure its quality requirements for long-term mission durations.

As its name suggests, the SADA-150 has an inertial capability of 150 Kg-m2, which is custom designed with a harmonic gear reduction assembly, output position potentiometer, and space-grade twist capsule or slip ring assembly. These components are driven by Frontgrade’s industry-leading brushless stepper motor to meet any mission’s performance and reliability requirements. Additional details can be found at www.frontgrade.com/SADA-150.
