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.

Tips to ensure year-round comfort at home

(BPT) - Transforming unused areas of a home into comfortable, functional spaces can be easier than one might think thanks to modern heating and cooling solutions. Whether it's a sunroom that's too cold to enjoy in the winter, a garage that turns into a sauna during the summer, or a basement that's always chilly, the right systems can help create a comfortable environment in every corner of a home. These innovative solutions improve comfort while maximizing a home's usability and value.

Following are tips on how homeowners can unlock the full potential of their home's living space, making it enjoyable 365 days a year.

Transform a Sunroom into a Four-Seasons Retreat

Sunrooms offer a bright, inviting space, but they're often underutilized due to extreme temperatures. Installing a ductless mini-split system provides efficient heating and cooling, making a sunroom comfortable no matter the season.

Mini-splits, such as a Friedrich® Floating Air ™ Mini-Split System, are ideal for spaces without existing ductwork, offering an easy, non-invasive installation. These systems allow precise temperature control, ensuring the sunroom stays cozy in winter and cool in summer. Plus, its energy efficiency helps homeowners enjoy this space without worrying about high utility bills. Operating quietly, mini-splits let users relax or entertain without background noise disrupting the peace.

Turn the Garage into a Temperature-Controlled Bonus Space

Garages are often overlooked when it comes to heating and cooling, leaving them uncomfortable for extended use. Garages can serve as home gyms, workshops or extra storage. However, without proper heating and cooling, they're often too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Installing another ductless option like Floating Air ™ Pro can combat that problem, converting a garage into a comfortable, climate-controlled space fit for year-round use.

Their advanced smart technology allows the user to set customized, true room-by-room comfort with individually controlled indoor options. Quiet and efficient, a mini-split transforms a garage into a functional extension of the home.

Enhance Basement Comfort with Zoned Systems

For any homeowner planning to upgrade their HVAC system, it's the perfect time to think about the entire home - especially those spaces that are underutilized, like the basement. With the right heating and cooling solutions, every corner of the home can be comfortable and functional all year long, including areas that aren't used every day.

Combining Rheem's Heat Pump with an Air Handler can create a zoned system that offers tailored comfort while maximizing energy efficiency. Pair that system with the company's EcoNet Smart Thermostat's Zoning Solution to make it easy to condition the basement only when needed, which is ideal for spaces that are not used year-round. With a simple adjustment on the EcoNet Smart Thermostat, the master control for the zoning system, a homeowner can open a damper to direct airflow into the basement, ensuring it's comfortable when occupied and conserving energy when it's not.

By adding home solutions such as mini-splits, heat pumps and air handlers, homeowners can unlock a home's full functionality and comfortably enjoy each room year-round.
