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.

TMA Truck Rental by Regional Traffic Services: The Smartest Way to Access the Latest Safety Technology

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Work zone safety technology is evolving faster than ever, with new standards and innovations rendering older equipment obsolete. For contractors who own their own fleet, this presents a significant challenge: a major asset can quickly become non-compliant or technologically inferior.

Regional Traffic Services is addressing this by positioning its TMA truck rental service as the innovative, future-proof solution that guarantees DFW contractors always have access to a modern, fully compliant fleet.

"Safety technology isn't static. The MASH standards, for example, involve more rigorous crash testing than older regulations," says Stan Navratil, CEO of Regional Traffic Services. "Owning a truck means you're locked into the technology of the day you bought it. We see it as our job to stay on the cutting edge of safety so our clients don't have to."

 

The Risks of an Owned, Aging TMA Fleet

 

For contractors in the competitive DFW market, relying on an older, owned TMA can introduce unforeseen risks, liabilities, and costs. The smart alternative is to rent, which eliminates the burdens associated with aging equipment.

 

These risks include:

 

  • Compliance Issues: The danger of a truck not meeting the latest MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) testing standards, which may be required for certain TxDOT or NTTA projects.
  • Technological Disadvantages: Missing out on newer, more effective safety features like advanced LED lighting, smarter programmable arrow boards, or more efficient solar power systems.
  • Increased Maintenance Costs: Facing higher repair bills and a greater risk of equipment failure, leading to costly project delays.
  • Depreciating Asset Value: Holding onto a depreciating asset that becomes less effective and harder to sell as technology continues to advance.

 

"Our fleet is constantly being updated," explains Navratil. "When a contractor gets a tma truck rental from us, they are getting a unit that represents the current highest standard of safety. It's a guarantee that they are deploying compliant, state-of-the-art protection for their crew."

 

A Future-Proof Strategy for DFW Contractors

 

In a forward-looking market like Dallas-Fort Worth, utilizing the best available technology is a competitive advantage. By choosing to rent, contractors can always present themselves as safety leaders to their clients, confident that the equipment protecting their work zones is the most advanced on the market.

 

"The smartest decision a contractor can make is to focus on their core business and let us handle the complexities of fleet management and safety technology," adds Stan Navratil. "Our partnership gives them access to a multi-million-dollar fleet of the latest equipment for one simple, predictable cost."
