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.

Beyond Liquid Cooling: Boyd Strengthens AI Cooling Innovation Capabilities with Durbin Group Acquisition

Boyd Acquires the Durbin Group to Enhance its Liquid Cooling System Technology Portfolio with Advanced Two-Phase Liquid Cooling Capabilities that Address Thermal Requirements of Next-Generation AI Processors

Boyd’s latest acquisition, the Durbin Group, strengthens Boyd’s innovation capabilities in liquid cooling system technologies critical for high-performance compute, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data centers. Boyd has solved thermal challenges in data centers since the advent of microprocessors. Boyd’s latest thermal innovations in liquid cooling have helped our customers accelerate their rapid transition from traditional air cooled to liquid cooled racks. Boyd has extensive liquid system design experience having shipped over 40 thousand liquid cooling systems to high-performance compute, hyperscaler, and semiconductor customers. Boyd also designs and manufactures liquid cold plates which cool processors and complement the liquid cooling system. To date, Boyd has shipped to key enterprise customers over 4 million liquid cold plates incorporated into 1 million liquid loops.

The Durbin Group has a long, trusted history designing advanced liquid cooling systems for enterprise, aerospace, and defense markets. These systems cool high-performance compute, power conversion, and directed energy applications. The latest AI, defense, and data center applications require single-phase liquid cooling technology, but next-generation designs require even more sophisticated two-phase liquid cooling technologies. The Durbin Group’s expertise and heritage in single and two-phase liquid cooling systems will enhance Boyd’s development efforts to address current and next-generation thermal management needs.

“We’re investing in strong engineering talent to expand Boyd’s liquid system design capacity and accelerate our liquid cooling system development. Significant market growth in high-performance data centers and artificial intelligence will continue for the foreseeable future, and this demand requires liquid cooling to scale,” said Boyd CEO Doug Britt. “We are a global leader in the design and manufacturing of liquid systems, cold plates and liquid cooling loops that directly cool high-power microprocessors. Our liquid cooling systems have cooled high-reliability semiconductor, defense, and medical applications for decades. We are well positioned to deliver complete, optimized, leak-free liquid cooling systems to AI customers at scale.”
