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.

HUD Executives Tour Champion® Homes Manufacturing Facility as HUD Spotlights Manufactured Homes as a Key Solution to the U.S. Housing Shortage

Champion Homes, Inc. (NYSE: SKY) (“Champion Homes”) today announced that U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Assistant Deputy Secretary (ADS)/Region 3 Regional Administrator (RA) Joseph DeFelice, and HUD Office of Housing Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (PDAS) Frank Cassidy toured their Leola, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility and retail center last month.

“We are honored to have welcomed HUD executives, including Joseph DeFelice and Frank Cassidy, to tour our homes—and even more excited that they experienced firsthand the efficiency and quality of our construction process during their visit to our Leola, Pa., facility,” said Champion Homes President and CEO Tim Larson. “These visits reflect HUD’s growing support in addressing the nation’s affordable housing shortage with offsite construction.”

On May 8, ADS/RA DeFelice and PDAS Cassidy visited Champion Homes’s Leola, Pa., manufacturing facility and its accompanying Champion Homes Center retail store where he toured two of Champion’s newer single-family manufactured home models, the Embrace Sunlight and the Embrace Calm. HUD Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Frank Cassidy and several other HUD representatives accompanied him on the tour. Michael Moglia, Chief, Housing & Buildings Standards Division at PA DCED and Kirby Smith, Director at PCFS were also on site.

The tour in Leola occurred only two days after HUD Secretary Scott Turner visited three of Champion’s homes at the Manufactured Housing Institute Congress & Expo in Orlando, Fla.

“The excitement around our housing solution was evident as the group toured the facility and walked through our homes,” said Champion Homes Regional Vice President David Reed

During the tour, attendees were provided with an in-depth look at the factory where the homes are built, showcasing the streamlined, highly efficient process that addresses traditional onsite construction challenges. Conventional home building often encounters delays and inconsistencies because multiple work crews manage different phases of the build, whereas the factory-built model streamlines the entire process under one roof with a coordinated workforce. This allows for greater quality control, consistency, and speed, with each step seamlessly integrated from start to finish.

Streamlining and coordinating the workforce in a centralized location also helps to address increasing labor cost and shortage trends in the construction industry, while providing skilled labor a year-round workplace that’s sheltered from the elements.

“For all of this to work, all of the different factions have to come together—the manufacturer, the state, the federal government and the third-party inspectors focused on the same goal,” said Rich Olenhouse, General Manager of Champion Homes’s Leola, Pa., manufacturing facility.
