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.

Laser Photonics To Supply CleanTech Laser Cleaning Technology to E.S. Fox Limited for Use at Bruce Power

Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) (NASDAQ: LASE), a leading global developer of industrial laser systems for cleaning and other material processing applications, announced today that it received an order for its CleanTech 500-CTHD laser cleaning system from E.S. Fox Limited for use by Bruce Power in Ontario, Canada, the operator of the largest functioning nuclear power plant in North America. The Power Workers' Union and The Society of United Professionals, the power company’s two employee unions, were both active participants in the decision-making regarding the purchase.

“Our laser cleaning technology is a clear choice for nuclear industry enterprises, as it provides a practice that is safe for the environment and workers, which is the primary reason that the environmentally conscious and socially responsible E.S. Fox, Bruce Power and the two power company labor unions chose our laser systems for operations,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. “For Bruce Power, the unions and E.S. Fox, one of the specifically stated objectives in purchasing our CleanTech system is to set an example for other nuclear power plants and unions who have not yet made the move to use next-generation laser equipment.”

Bruce Power has deliberately chosen to be an industry early adopter, recognizing that laser cleaning contributes to safer and more efficient maintenance at nuclear facilities. They strongly desire to encourage others in the industry to make the change from traditional abrasive blasting methods to laser cleaning systems, which allow for selective layer stripping while causing no damage to the substrate and underlying material. Cleaning with LPC’s CleanTech laser systems requires no chemicals or additives, minimizing secondary waste and reducing health risks for operators.

E.S. Fox’s Nuclear Services division has contributed millions of hours in support of Ontario’s nuclear power industry, providing clients such as Bruce Power with streamlined solutions for detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction and maintenance. Having purchased the laser system on behalf of the company, E.S. Fox will train and collaborate with Bruce’s employee unions and members in using LPC’s CleanTech system during Bruce Power’s Vacuum Building Outage (VBO) program, which began in April 2024. The program temporarily removes all four of Bruce B’s nuclear operating units from service for refurbishment to ensure that required maintenance and inspection work can be carried out safely and successfully by the power company and its partners.

Vacuum buildings are unique to Bruce Power’s generating stations and are part of its robust safety system, providing an additional protective barrier to the release of radioactivity to the environment. All four operating units must be shut down approximately once every decade to allow for these vacuum building inspections and maintenance.
