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.

Union Pacific Celebrates Its Newest Intermodal Terminal in the Heart of America – Kansas City

The Kansas City Intermodal Terminal provides regional shippers seamless access to growing markets

Union Pacific Railroad celebrated the grand opening of its newest intermodal terminal today in Kansas City, Kansas. This is the fourth intermodal facility Union Pacific has opened since 2021 as part of its ongoing commitment to quickly meet customers’ needs and grow the railroad’s intermodal footprint.

The Kansas City Intermodal Terminal (KCIT) is strategically located near several key highway and interstate arteries that will provide shippers seamless access to Union Pacific’s intermodal rail network, with fast, truck-competitive transit times.

“This new terminal reflects our commitment to building for the future and providing our customers with convenient and cost-effective access to the U.S. supply chain,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice president-Marketing and Sales at Union Pacific Railroad. “Our customers want faster, more reliable freight options and this terminal delivers.”

The terminal will serve both domestic and international containerized shipments of grains, consumer goods, refrigerated products, and auto parts in the Midwest region, and will help to convert more truck traffic to rail, which will reduce congestion on the nation’s highways and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The new terminal also will significantly increase Union Pacific’s local capacity with room available for future growth. It includes two new paved parking lots, additional working tracks for peak efficiency and will feature precision gate technology, providing truckers with automatic entry and exit.

Union Pacific also announced it will shift its KCIT domestic service from the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) terminal in Long Beach, California, to the City of Industry terminal in Southern California. Domestic units moving to KCIT will now benefit from Union Pacific’s expedited premium network six days a week, offering a more than 25% faster journey and up to 25 hours in savings compared to current industry options, with just over 2.5 days transit.

Making the change to City of Industry will complement the KCIT terminal and allow for expanded market access, efficient drayage management and enhanced logistics planning. Units originating in Kansas City will continue to utilize the existing expedited premium train to the City of Industry terminal.
