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.

Videojet Introduces a New Large Character Inkjet Printer for Case and Carton Coding

Videojet 2380 printer prints high-resolution variable codes and product identification information

With over 45 years of expertise in inkjet printing technology, Videojet Technologies is pleased to launch the new Videojet 2380 high-resolution large character inkjet printer for manufacturers and distributors with on-demand case coding requirements.

The Videojet 2380 inkjet printer offers a complete solution for printing on corrugated cardboard cases, cartons, shipping containers and other porous materials. Modular and easy to integrate, this large character marking system is designed for operation and maintenance by any user with minimal training or experience. Self-cleaning technology automatically performs routine printhead cleaning, helping to ensure consistent print quality with less mess and maintenance. The Videojet 2380 delivers a fast start-up and prints durable, high-resolution text, logos and bar codes ready to meet the demands of the distribution chain.

This versatile carton and cardboard box printer adapts to users’ unique marking and coding requirements. It delivers on-demand coding of variable production data such as lot codes, manufacturing dates and contents. Two printheads can be easily integrated with no additional hardware needed, allowing for coding of up to 5.5 inches (140mm) in print height or coding on two sides of a case. Both printheads can be controlled by one user interface, which is separate from the print engine so it can be placed in the optimal position for the operator.

The Videojet 2380 is an easy-to-use marking solution with an intuitive touchscreen and SIMPLICiTY™ user interface that offers onboard job editing and operator guides, helping to reduce printer interactions and potential user errors. With embedded protocols, the system offers USB connectivity, VideojetConnect™ compatibility and ZPL emulation. Wi-Fi is also embedded for remote access and analytical capabilities. The HMI easily integrates with a bar code scanner for rapid job selection and data entry. Scan2Run™ functionality in the 2380 helps ensure that the correct code is selected and downloaded to the printer, reducing coding errors and rework.

The system features an air knife that helps to clean the nozzle plate. An automatic micro-purge process can be programmed to clean the printhead nozzles at specific intervals to help prevent dust blockages without stopping the production line.

Ink used in the auto-purge process is recycled back into the system, providing cleaner operation and optimized ink usage for reduced costs. Moreover, the printer’s compact ink canister can be quickly and easily changed without disrupting production. The 2380 offers a selection of seven ink colors to assist in product differentiation and package aesthetics.

The robust design of the Videojet 2380 delivers uptime through proven printer technology. It is constructed of durable 304-grade stainless steel, ideal for case and shipping carton production environments. A unique gyroscopic sensor monitors the printer’s mounting angle in real-time, helping to prevent ink leaks, as well as detect and record external impact signals.

Print-on-demand and direct-to-box printing help users streamline purchasing requirements and reduce the inventory of unique cases, thereby reducing costs, required storage space and the opportunity for waste. At the same time, it offers the flexibility to react quickly to changes in the printed content and product demand.

Adding to the printer’s ease of maintenance and minimized operator intervention is the inclusion of the Videojet LifeCycle Advantage™ service offering. This exclusive offering uses dynamic printer data, remote connectivity and Videojet expertise to help keep printers operating at peak efficiency over their operational lifetime. Optional VideojetConnect™ Remote Service allows both Videojet and in-house technicians to monitor a printer’s status, troubleshoot issues and improve long-term performance.
