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.

PulteGroup Pilots Innovative New Construction Process

Company Tests Capabilities of Robotic-Assisted Wall Construction

PulteGroup (NYSE: PHM), one of the nation's largest homebuilders, continued to test innovative new technologies with the successful pilot of robotic-assisted construction. The test was conducted in the company's DiVosta community of TerraWalk at Babcock Ranch, America’s first solar-powered town, representing the latest advancement in PulteGroup's ongoing efforts to advance homebuilding through technology and innovation.

PulteGroup partnered with Australian-based FBR for this demonstration and utilized its Hadrian X® system, an AI-guided construction robot capable of building structural walls in a single day. The automated system uses an advanced robotic arm to precisely place concrete blocks that are secured using a specialized adhesive which bonds twice as strong as traditional mortar. This build marks one of only 10 homes in the United States constructed using this advanced system, positioning PulteGroup at the forefront of construction innovation.

"This achievement shows PulteGroup is serious about intelligently leveraging innovation to drive greater efficiency in homebuilding," said Matt Koart, EVP and COO of PulteGroup. "Our industry faces challenges when it comes to labor availability and the need to build more efficiently and sustainably. We see opportunities to integrate technologies that can improve construction quality and safety, while creating exceptional homes for our customers."

PulteGroup built this home's structural walls using artificial intelligence and robotic technology while maintaining its signature quality. This innovative construction method enhances safety, minimizes waste and accelerates build times. The successful build shows how emerging technologies can streamline construction and points to new possibilities for automated homebuilding nationwide.

"Southwest Florida’s TerraWalk at Babcock Ranch community serves as a proving ground for next-generation homebuilding technologies," added Josh Graeve, Southwest Florida Division President of PulteGroup. "This initial test of FBR’s building system represents another step forward in our mission to make high-quality homes more affordable while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in residential construction."

The robotic construction demonstration showcases the latest addition to PulteGroup's groundbreaking initiatives at Babcock Ranch, where its Innovation Way living laboratory tests and refines emerging technologies and construction methods. Projects range from Ford F-150 Lightning power backup solutions to sustainable building practices, smart home automation and more.
