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.

The FillPak® Mini converter is a super compact, powered void fill machine designed from the inside-out for optimal reliability and ease-of-operations.

“The launch of FillPak® Mini reflects Ranpak’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that meet evolving customer needs,” said Andre Kabel, Ranpak’s VP of Product Management for Europe and Asia-Pacific. “We have heard directly from customers about the desire to scale efficiently while working within space-constrained packing environments – and the FillPak® Mini was designed specifically with those challenges in mind. We’re excited to bring this compact, versatile solution to customers in Europe and Asia-Pacific and look forward to introducing it to North America in 2026.”

The FillPak® Mini is Ranpak’s smallest void fill converter to date, purpose-built for customers with limited space in their packing environments. Designed with versatility, simplicity, and ease-of-use in mind, it can be paired with Ranpak’s Geami® solutions at the same station to provide a holistic range of paper wrapping and void fill options. Additional features include:

  • Simple operation, with an intuitive interface that allows for multiple operating modes. These include batch mode and electronic delivery system (EDS) mode, which provides an on-demand stream of packaging materials at pre-selected dimensions, offering both on-demand and pre-stocked options for material production.
  • Foot pedal manipulation to override any automated operation mode, helping packers maintain their ability to use the precise amount of paper needed for each job.
  • Fast and easy reloading, thanks to an easy to access paper feed complemented by a simple integrated loading button, which helps maintain high productivity with minimal downtime.

While making this small footprint converter, Ranpak’s engineering team has prioritized maximum reliability and performance across FillPak® Mini’s internal mechanisms.

The result is a unit that serves as the ideal entry point for businesses adopting paper packaging, delivering quick scalability, minimal installation requirements, and the lowest-profile converter to fit virtually any pack station.
