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.

Mativ Secures First Commercial Order of Advanced Materials Used in Miru eWindow Automotive Technology

Mativ (NYSE: MATV), global leader in specialty materials, has reached a significant milestone in their partnership with Miru Smart Technologies (“Miru”), a pioneer in smart window innovation. Through its advanced polymer film solutions brand, Argotec, Mativ has secured their first purchase order of materials used in Miru’s dynamic electrochromic window technology from a major glass manufacturer. This achievement marks a major step forward in preparing the supply chain for large-scale production and global adoption of electrochromic glass by leading automotive OEMs, and aligns with Mativ’s ongoing commitments around safety, sustainability, and innovation.

Miru collaborates with major global glass companies and key vendors in the supply chain to develop cutting-edge dynamic electrochromic windows (“eWindows”) enabled by Argotec’s specialty thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) interlayer film. eWindows dynamically tint on demand, enhancing energy efficiency, comfort, and the passenger or user experience in automotive and architectural applications.

This agreement secures a significant volume of Argotec specialty TPU interlayer film, a critical component in Miru’s eWindow stack. The joint technology delivers optical clarity, durability, and manufacturability for next-generation eWindow systems.

The purchase order follows extensive co-development and materials testing between Mativ and Miru, signifying a key step forward in their strategic collaboration. A recent highlight in the partnership was the successful fabrication of one of the world’s largest electrochromic sunroof devices - a compound-curved prototype measuring 1.5 m x 1.6 m - demonstrating scalability for next-generation vehicle design.

“This order reflects our confidence in the market demand for Miru’s exciting eWindow technology and our shared commitment to customer-driven innovation platforms,” said Ryan Elwart, Group President of Mativ. “Argotec’s advanced films are engineered for the performance needs of smart glazing, and we are proud to support Miru in scaling electrochromic glass for the future of mobility.”

“This announcement marks a major step forward in our supply chain readiness,” said Curtis Berlinguette, Founder and CEO of Miru. “Our partnership with Mativ ensures we have access to proven, scalable interlayer materials that meet the optical and mechanical performance standards of our eWindow system. We are excited to deepen this collaboration as we scale toward full production.”

Argotec and Miru will showcase their joint solution at Glass Performance Days (GPD) 2025 in Tampere, Finland (June 10 - 12). Attendees are invited to visit the booth (F9) to see the eWindow technology in action. The companies will also be hosting a networking mixer during GPD, bringing together innovators and industry leaders to explore the future of smart glass.
