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.

SNCF Voyageurs Orders Wabtec’s KinetiX Inspection Technologies

  • Order to Enhance Rail Network Safety and Increase Efficiency

Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) announced today an agreement to provide KinetiX Inspection Technologies to Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer français (SNCF) Voyageurs. The order enables the French national railway company to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of its rail network.

“SNCF Voyageurs is a forward-thinking industry leader that is transforming its transit system by empowering its operations team with the latest inspection technologies,” said Roopa Shenoy, Senior Director, Product Manager for Wabtec’s KinetiX. “As one of the busiest rail networks in Europe, SNCF relies on us to support its efficient, reliable, and safe service. The KinetiX systems are innovative and offer a real performance boost, which is the result of a strong collaborative working relationship between Wabtec and the Material Department of SNCF Voyageurs.’

The agreement expands the existing use of KinetiX Systems at 13 SNCF Technicentres across France, for axle maintenance and acoustic bearing monitoring, with the addition of TreadView, WheelView, and BrakeView inspection systems. These wayside solutions provide real-time, automated contactless inspection monitoring of the SNCF Voyageurs fleet. Wabtec will support the implementation with a dedicated team that guides SNCF Voyageurs from installation to ongoing maintenance of the technology suite.

The Wabtec KinetiX Inspection Technologies is a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that redefine the inspection and monitoring of rail assets. The wayside systems evaluate the condition of key railcar components, including wheels, brakes, bearings, air hoses, pantographs, and cross keys, delivering a detailed overview of the train’s overall health. Integrating machine vision, laser scanning, remote sensing with acoustic and thermal technology, load monitoring, and AI-driven analytics, the technology sets the standard for automating inspection processes, enhancing asset availability and life while significantly reducing operational costs. KinetiX’s meticulous inspection analysis can be undertaken while the train operates and moves at line speeds of up to 120 km/h.
