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.

How public-private transportation partnerships create innovative solutions, boost the economy

(BPT) - To keep the economy moving, people need to keep moving. Public transit helps economies grow by providing access to businesses where people purchase goods, boosting home values and creating jobs. By getting people to work or school, shopping, entertainment and more, public transportation provides a critical lifeline, supporting self-sufficiency so people can contribute to a strong, healthy community. According to the American Public Transportation Association, 77 cents of every dollar invested in public transportation goes to the private sector.

Investment in transit also means investing in goods and services needed to run systems and keep roads clear - which benefits everyone. When transportation is cut to lower costs, ridership decreases, so those who need it most may experience less reliable service, creating a downward spiral.

The solution: Public-private partnerships

Contracting with the private sector helps public funds go further. Private contractors help maximize budgets, using their expertise to improve service and innovate through efficiencies and best practices. Using the resources of private-sector partners, public transportation systems can keep service levels high within existing budgets.

"As communities across North America face evolving transportation needs, public-private partnerships help build resilient transit systems," said Laura Hendricks, board chair of the North American Transit Alliance (NATA), an alliance of private-sector companies operating transit systems throughout the U.S. and Canada. "Private contracting offers a strategic approach to maximizing budgets and service, modernizing public transportation for everyone's benefit."

Partnerships solve problems

For example, in Nassau County, New York, one private transportation company helps ensure smooth operations, FTA compliance, customer service and more for its local transit system. This partnership has resulted in streamlined service and innovations including a contactless fare payment system, new passenger mobile applications and microtransit service - saving over $350 million.

According to studies from the Eno Center for Transportation and International Association of Public Transport, private contracting demonstrates many benefits:

  • Cost efficiency - Private contractors bring extensive experience in managing operational costs through economies of scale, streamlined processes and innovative practices.
  • Quality - Private operators are held to rigorous performance standards through structured contracts, ensuring high-quality service.
  • Expertise - The private sector's knowledge spans operations, maintenance, safety and workforce development to help public transit agencies address complex challenges.
  • Flexibility - Private contracting provides flexibility to scale services up or down for changing demand.
  • Economic development - Private transit operators contribute to local economies by creating jobs to benefit the community.
