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.

Protolabs Expands 3D Printing Options with Hybrid PhotoSynthesis Technology

Axtra3D printing capabilities complement digital manufacturer’s advanced photopolymer offering with highly precise and repeatable printed parts in days.

Digital manufacturing leader Protolabs expanded its 3D printing capabilities today with the launch of an advanced photopolymers technology. Axtra3D Hybrid PhotoSynthesis (HPS) offers highly repeatable and finely detailed 3D printed parts at accelerated speeds. HPS uses both a precision laser and digital light processing (DLP) system to simultaneously image internal and external part structures—a dual 3D printing approach that overcomes traditional limitations.

HPS complements Protolabs’ current Carbon digital light synthesis (DLS) printers for 3D printing projects that require stronger mechanical properties. Both Carbon DLS and HPS feature near-isotropic parts and smooth surface finishes, but HPS technology also offers exceptionally high resolution when compared to other 3D printing processes.

The launch of HPS supports the broader Protolabs strategies to serve more customer needs and continue to expand into production use cases. Common HPS applications include production-grade parts with excellent throughput, parts requiring high-accuracy features for testing and validation, and cosmetic prototypes requiring glass-like surface finishes.

“We are committed to establishing additive manufacturing as a technology that can take companies from prototyping to production,” said Ryan Kees, Protolabs 3D printing global product director. “To help product developers, designers, and engineers do that, Hybrid PhotoSynthesis is another vital production option in our growing toolbox of 3D printing capabilities.”

Currently available HPS materials include Tough Black (Loctite Henkel 3843), an engineering-grade resin with high strength, good impact resistance, and excellent surface finish, and Ceramic-filled (BASF 3280), a material often used for tooling and molding due to its high stiffness. Both materials expand Protolabs’ advanced photopolymer library, adding to the materials already offered for Carbon DLS.
