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.

Kenco AutoStore System Now Live at Jeffersonville, Indiana Distribution Center

Workout wear brand Alphalete delivering out of the facility, with two more brands soon to join and space for additional D2C customers

Kenco, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, today announced AutoStore™, a leading automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS), is live at the company’s Jeffersonville, Ind. distribution center. Designed in conjunction with KPI Solutions, the system is Kenco’s largest AutoStore installation, with 49,000 bins, 130 grid robots, 10 picking ports and four replenishment ports.

Specifically designed to meet the needs of Kenco’s fulfillment customers, the AutoStore ASRS’ cubic layout quadruples storage capacity vs. traditional warehouse racking. The system maximizes existing labor and space, enabling 24/7 fulfillment and covering about a quarter of one facility at the Jeffersonville campus.

“The AutoStore system’s throughput is truly remarkable – we anticipate 15 million units will travel through the system each year,” said Jason Minghini, Senior Vice President of Operations at Kenco. “With this technology, Kenco’s customers of all sizes will be able to compete with the logistics capabilities of eCommerce leaders. Even in the initial weeks post go-live, we’re already seeing how quickly automation can impact warehouses for the better.”

Premium workout and athleisure designer Alphalete is the first Kenco customer to utilize the new ASRS, with potential for additional D2C customers joining.

"At Alphalete, we recognize that timely fulfillment is crucial to our customers' satisfaction,” said Brian Murphy, Logistics Coordinator at Alphalete. “We're fortunate to have a fulfillment partner who invests in advanced automation solutions that allow rapid scaling and consistently deliver an exceptional experience to our customers, regardless of order volume."

The AutoStore system is just one of several initiatives Kenco has undertaken to prepare warehouses for the future of material handling equipment. Earlier this year, it launched Kenco MHE Solutions, a full-service program offering ongoing maintenance of a facility’s existing MHE – no matter the brand – data-driven insights into MHE utilization and consultancy for cutting-edge automation projects.
