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.

Redwire Receives NASA Approval to Advance Cutting-Edge Manufacturing Technology for Building Infrastructure on Moon and Mars

Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next-generation space economy, announced today that its advanced lunar and Martian manufacturing technology, Mason, has passed Critical Design Review (CDR) with NASA participation. Mason is a tool suite designed to operate on the Moon and Mars that will enable the construction of berms, landing pads and roads for future lunar and Martian habitats. The project, managed under a Tipping Point agreement with NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate, is part of a $12.9 million award to prototype Mason for broader plans to support a long-term presence and exploration on the lunar surface.

“We are proud to have successfully completed this exciting milestone and bring Mason one step closer to launch,” said Redwire President of Space Missions, Tom Campbell. “Leveraging Redwire’s unmatched in-space manufacturing experience, Mason technology is critical to enabling sustainable operations on the Moon and Mars surface.”

Designed to be scalable and platform agnostic for use on different landers, rovers, or robotic arms, Mason can convert lunar or Martian regolith into a strong, solid material similar to concrete. Mason includes three tools: a grader tool called BASE (Blade for Autonomously Surfacing Environments), a compaction tool called PACT (Planetary Automated Compaction Tool), and a microwave sintering tool called M3LT (Microwave Melter of Martian and Lunar Terrain).

Regolith can cause equipment failures and maneuverability challenges, and it can become a dangerous projectile when accelerated by a rocket’s exhaust plume. The presence of dust on equipment and on spacesuits also can have health impacts on astronauts. Rockets launching without a launch pad can incur significant damage. Clouds of dust propelled into orbit during launch can create debris for orbiting satellites, causing a satellite to move. Mason mitigates these risks, while significantly lowering the cost of lunar and Martian exploration efforts.

With CDR successfully completed, Redwire engineers will fabricate the Mason critical design prototype and conduct functional testing of the three tools. Redwire is currently exploring flight opportunities for a demonstration mission.

Redwire is leading a team of industry and academic partners to develop Mason, including NASA Kennedy Space Center Swamp Works, Lambda Technologies, Colorado School of Mines, and the University of Central Florida.
