About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

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 Adds Two New Hues With Enhanced Performance to Trex Enhance® Decking Line

Heat-mitigating* Technology Now Available at Even Cooler Price Points

Trex Company [NYSE: TREX], the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, and a leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor living products, is expanding performance and aesthetic options for homeowners with the addition of two new colors to the brand’s popular Trex Enhance® decking line – both featuring heat-mitigating* technology coupled with affordability.

“Trex Enhance has been a game-changer for us, for homeowners and for the entire category,” said Leslie Adkins, group vice president of marketing and ESG development for Trex Company. “Since its introduction in 2019, this collection has allowed many would-be wood decking buyers to make the switch to affordable, high-quality, low-maintenance Trex decking, driving share away from wood. Our newest decking colors in this line raise the bar even higher by combining the ease, performance and affordability of Enhance decking with the innovation and added benefit of heat-mitigating* technology, previously available only in higher-priced Trex offerings.”

Engineered to compete more directly with wood, Trex Enhance features the durability and ease of maintenance for which Trex decking is world-renowned with a scalloped profile that makes the boards lighter weight for easier handling and installation. This innovative design also contributes to their lower cost.

Made from 95% recycled and reclaimed material, Enhance boards feature Trex’s proprietary outer shell, which makes them extremely durable and resistant to fading, staining and scratching. They won’t rot, warp or splinter and upkeep is hassle-free with no sanding, staining or sealing required. Just an occasional cleaning with soap and water is all that is needed to keep boards looking like new for decades.

New Colors, New Technology

The Enhance decking line is comprised of two color collections. Enhance Basics consists of proven and popular monochromatic shades that will now gain a new subtle, misty grey color named Tide Pool. Enhance Naturals boards, featuring multi-tonal hues that resemble the streaked looks of natural wood, will now include Honey Grove, a light, honey brown reflecting evolving consumer trends favoring brown tones.

Adding to their appeal, these two new additions to the Enhance line are engineered with heat-mitigating technology in the shell to reflect UV rays and keep boards cooler* than most other composite decking products of a similar color and style.

“We introduced this technology with our Trex Transcend® Lineage line and are excited to make it available to a broader range of customers,” noted Adkins. “It’s proven to be a big selling point for contractors and dealers and homeowners absolutely love it.”

For added peace of mind, all Trex Enhance boards are backed by a 25-year Limited Residential and Fade & Stain Warranty. To learn more about Trex Enhance decking and view the entire portfolio of Trex outdoor living products, visit Trex.com.

*Although Trex Enhance Tide Pool and Honey Grove with heat-mitigating technology are engineered to be cooler than most other composite decking products of a similar color and style, on a hot sunny day, they will get hot. On hot days, care should be taken to avoid extended contact between exposed skin and the deck surface, especially with young children and those with special needs.
