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.

BWXT Awarded Contract to Produce High Purity Depleted Uranium for National Defense Purposes

BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) announced today it has been awarded a 10-year contract valued at $1.6 billion by the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to support the national security mission of establishing a supply of high purity depleted uranium (HPDU).

Under the contract, BWXT will initiate requirements to build an HPDU manufacturing plant, which includes designing the plant, applying for the necessary licenses, procuring long-lead equipment, preparing the physical site, demonstrating manufacturing readiness and operating the plant. Under this contract, BWXT will produce up to 300 metric tons of HPDU annually. BWXT will locate the plant at its site in Jonesborough, Tennessee.

“This project represents a significant investment in northeast Tennessee and advances the BWXT legacy of supporting mission-critical work for defense purposes,” said Rex D. Geveden, president and CEO of BWXT. “BWXT acquired the Jonesborough site earlier this year to augment our special materials business line. The HPDU plant supports that growth strategy and enables the U.S. capability to produce this vital material for national security.”

Once fully operational, the new facility is expected to create approximately 175 highly skilled jobs. BWXT subcontractors will support the build-out of facilities and production lines along with hiring additional employees for the construction project.

The process to make HPDU consists of converting uranium oxide to usable metal, which has been done previously at the Jonesborough site, and at other sites throughout the U.S. The BWXT conceptual design plan focuses on engineered environmental controls and will utilize solid waste management with no additional liquid discharge from the new facility into local waterways. BWXT is committed to continuous improvements in our manufacturing processes to achieve maximum sustainability and environmental stewardship within our shared communities.

Once completed, BWXT’s Jonesborough facility will be the only active site capable of performing this critical process for the government.
