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.

The game-changing hand tools every auto tech should have in their toolbox

(BPT) - In the world of automotive repair, speed, precision, and tool reliability isn't just nice to have - it's a non-negotiable. Whether you're a pro in a fast-paced shop or an enthusiast working in your home garage, the right tool can mean the difference between a simple task and a time-consuming struggle.

toolant - a brand that values feedback from mechanics, detailers, and technicians - has just released two tools engineered specifically for high-performance automotive environments: the toolant 10-inch Plier Wrench and the 3/8" Drive Compact Flex Head Ratchet Wrench. These aren't just upgrades - they're problem-solvers.

A smarter alternative to the adjustable wrench

If you're still fumbling with bulky adjustable wrenches for fittings, clamps, or flare nuts, toolant's Plier Wrench is the ultimate upgrade. Designed with a fast push-button adjustment mechanism and 2-inch (52 mm) jaw capacity, it locks onto fasteners with speed and precision - no slipping, no rounding, no repositioning.

With smooth, parallel jaws and a CR-V steel build, the Plier Wrench gives a firm, damage-free grip on delicate surfaces like polished fittings or anodized parts. The 10:1 leverage ratio means less hand strain during repetitive tasks like tightening hose clamps or fitting brake lines. Whether you're under the hood or under the car, this tool replaces multiple wrenches and saves time with each turn.

Big power in tight spaces

The toolant Compact Drive Flex Head Ratchet Wrench was built to reach the most difficult spaces - and it delivers. Featuring one of the smallest heads in its class (3/8" drive packed into a 1/4" body), it's perfect for working in the smallest of spaces.

A 90-tooth gear system gives you a tight 4-degree swing arc, ideal for restricted spaces. The 11-position locking flex head lets you lock in the perfect angle for the job, and the long ergonomic handle gives you the leverage you need without compromising access.

Engineered to outlast the job

Durability is built in with a lifetime guarantee - making tools you can count on for the long haul. The ratchet wrench exceeds ASME (American industry standards) torque standards by 1.5x and is tested to withstand over 75,000 cycles - more than enough for the day-in, day-out demands of a working technician.

Made with mechanics in mind

toolant designs tools based on feedback from pros in the field, and it shows. The Plier Wrench and Flex Head Ratchet join a lineup of trusted gear built for real-world functionality.

Where to buy

Both tools are available now on Amazon:

Whether you're working on the job or building your dream car, these tools are built to help you get it done - faster and smarter.
