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.

Lippert Acquires Bigfoot Hydraulic Systems From Leveltron

LCI Industries (NYSE: LCII), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lippert Components, Inc., a leading supplier of engineered components to the recreation and transportation markets, today announced that its subsidiary, Lippert Components Manufacturing, Inc., has acquired substantially all the business assets of Leveltron, LLC ("Leveltron"). Leveltron, headquartered in White Pigeon, MI, is the trusted provider of Bigfoot Hydraulic Systems ("Bigfoot").

Bigfoot provides hydraulic leveling solutions and landing gear for Class A, B & C motorhomes as well as the utility and equine trailer markets. Bigfoot's highly engineered yet simple systems also lend themselves to other markets including the US Military and construction equipment. The company is led today by third-generation leaders Matt and Brandon Lehman as well as Bob Slack.

Ryan Smith, LCI Industries' Group President – North America, is excited to add the Bigfoot Leveling Systems into Lippert's already robust catalog of hydraulic and electric leveling systems: "I am happy to welcome the Bigfoot team to the Lippert family. We’re excited to add Bigfoot's unique and innovative solutions to our wide offering of leveling and stabilization products. Bigfoot's systems offer solutions in the RV and Utility Trailer markets that Lippert has not historically filled, so we're excited to use our reach in the industry to expand upon Bigfoot's current customer base."

Lippert plans to expand Bigfoot's RV Aftermarket footprint by making the leveling systems available throughout Lippert's vast distribution and dealer networks. Bigfoot leveling installations will continue to be offered at their White Pigeon, Michigan location, and Lippert plans to eventually expand installations at wherever Lippert factory service is provided nationwide.
