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.

“This launch of Ride TRT is a significant milestone in modernizing public transit in Rocky Mount,” said City Manager Elton Daniels. “By allowing riders to pay with a smartphone or reloadable smart card, we’re making Tar River Transit more convenient, more efficient and better aligned with the needs of today’s passengers.”

Key Features of the New Fare Collection System:

  • Mobile Ticketing: Riders will be able to plan, purchase, and validate trips using their smartphones via TRT’s free app, which will be available for iOS and Android.
  • Smart Cards: Reloadable fare cards will be available for those without mobile devices, providing a convenient option to pay and ride.
  • Web Portal: Riders will also have access to online trip planning, fare purchases and account management from any internet-connected device.
  • Smart Pay Accounts: Passengers can create personalized profiles to manage favorite routes, view transaction history and reload passes easily.• Data-Driven Insights: The digital platform will equip TRT with valuable data to optimize routes, improve decision-making and deliver a more responsive transit system.
  • Automated Vehicle Locator Capabilities: Riders will have the ability to track vehicles in real-time utilizing TRT’s free app, which will be available for download on iOS and Android.

“Ride TRT will give our riders access to more convenient, flexible and modern tools to navigate our city's transit system,” said Todd Gardner, Tar River Transit Administrator. “By streamlining our fare collection process, we will improve the rider experience and build more efficient operations behind the scenes.”

Ride TRT will focus on TRT’s fixed route buses, giving riders easier ways to plan trips, buy tickets and board using a smartphone or a reloadable smart card.
