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.

Trex Expands Distribution with International Wood Products, Strengthening Presence in Northern California and Northern Nevada

Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TREX), the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and residential railing products, announces the expansion of its relationship with building materials distributor International Wood Products, LLC (IWP). As part of this strategic move, IWP will exclusively stock Trex® decking and railing at all five of its distribution facilities in the Western United States, including their Cloverdale, California location. This significant expansion will extend Trex’s reach in the high-growth markets of Northern California and Northern Nevada.

Building on their shared success in the Pacific Northwest, this expansion represents a natural progression of the companies’ mutual commitment to quality, customer service and innovation. Northern California and Northern Nevada are key regions for both Trex and IWP, representing two of the largest and fastest-growing markets for wood-alternative decking and railing products in the West.

“Our relationship with International Wood Products has been a cornerstone of Trex’s success in the Pacific Northwest,” stated Bret Martz, Group Vice President of North American Professional Sales at Trex Company. “IWP is known for its excellent service, high customer satisfaction and strong market intelligence in the regions it serves. This expansion into Northern California and Northern Nevada is a key milestone as we work together to serve growing demand for eco-friendly, high-quality outdoor living solutions.”

Josh Hamilton, President of International Wood Products, added, “Our long-standing relationship with Trex has been built on mutual trust and shared values, and we are incredibly proud of the success we’ve achieved together. By exclusively stocking Trex decking and railing products at all five of our distribution facilities in the West, including Cloverdale, we will be able to offer a comprehensive selection of premium solutions to our valued customers across the region.”

Market Impact

  • Expanded Market Reach: This partnership extends Trex’s presence across the Western U.S., positioning the company for accelerated growth in Northern California and Northern Nevada.
  • Product Diversification: IWP will now stock Trex’s complete line of decking and railing products, including new premium offerings like cable and specialty glass railing systems.
  • Sustainability Focus: This expansion aligns with increasing consumer demand for eco-friendly building materials, as Trex decking products are made from up to 95% recycled materials.
  • Growth Potential: Trex aims to double its share in the $3.3 billion residential railing market from 6% to 12% over the next five years. The expansion into rapidly growing regions such as Northern California and Northern Nevada will be a key driver in reaching this goal.

This expanded affiliation reinforces Trex’s position as the market leader in sustainable outdoor living solutions and sets the stage for continued expansion, innovation and success in the decking and railing industry.
