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.

USA Carter Valve Inc. Launches CARTERUS Six-Eccentric Butterfly Valve for Critical Service Applications

By: Get News
The new valve technology from Colorado-based USA Carter Valve Inc. delivers verifiable zero-leakage and lower torque for industries like LNG and petrochemicals, setting a new standard for extreme temperature performance.

DENVER, CO - July 29, 2025 - USA Carter Valve Inc., a Colorado-based manufacturer of industrial flow control solutions, announced the official launch of its CARTERUS™ six-eccentric butterfly valve. This new valve is engineered to provide reliable, zero-leakage performance and an extended operational lifespan for critical service applications across a wide range of demanding industries.

The development of the CARTERUS valve addresses persistent challenges faced in sectors such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), petrochemical processing, and aerospace, where traditional valves often present performance limitations. The six-eccentric design offers a solution for applications involving extreme temperatures, high pressures, and the need for absolute sealing integrity.

"Our objective with the CARTERUS was to engineer a valve that systematically removes the typical points of failure and inefficiency in critical processes," said Robert Carter, Chief Engineer at USA Carter Valve Inc. "This technology provides a quantifiable performance improvement, ensuring operational safety and lowering the total cost of ownership for our partners. It represents a fundamental shift in how engineers can approach system design, moving from compensating for limitations to designing for new possibilities."

Key technical features of the CARTERUS six-eccentric butterfly valve include:

• Expanded Operational Range: The valve is designed to function across an extensive temperature spectrum, from cryogenic conditions at -196°C (-320°F) to ultra-high heat processes up to +1100°C (2012°F). This single-platform design covers a range that typically requires multiple specialized valve types, simplifying inventory and system design for operators.

• Verifiable Zero-Leakage Sealing: The valve's design focuses on achieving physically verifiable zero leakage. This is accomplished through precision engineering, featuring a seal surface profile tolerance of just 0.0004 inches and a near-mirror surface finish with a roughness of Ra 0.156 μm. This level of precision is critical for environmental compliance and safety in handling hazardous fluids.

Reduced Torque and Operational Costs: A significant engineering advancement is the reduction of operating torque by over 30% compared to industry-standard triple-offset valves. Its patented cam-action, friction-free geometry allows for the selection of smaller, more energy-efficient actuators, directly translating to lower capital expenditure and reduced long-term energy consumption.

The CARTERUS valve also incorporates features aimed at simplifying maintenance and maximizing equipment uptime. The seal ring is designed for non-directional installation, eliminating the need for complex orientation and reducing the risk of human error during replacement. Additionally, chamfered edges on core components prevent accidental damage to sealing surfaces during assembly. This streamlined process drastically reduces Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), directly boosting plant uptime and operational profitability.

The valve is particularly suited for high-value applications, where its unique advantages solve critical industry problems:

• LNG: Providing secure containment for cryogenic media throughout the value chain, minimizing hazardous leaks and costly boil-off gas (BOG) losses during transportation and storage.

• Petrochemical & Refining: Offering durable, long-term performance in high-temperature catalytic cracking units, significantly reducing fugitive emissions and maintenance cycles.

• Aerospace & Defense: Meeting the rigorous demands for lightweight, reliable components that perform flawlessly under extreme thermal cycling in propulsion systems and ground support equipment.

• Nuclear Power: Fulfilling the stringent safety and reliability requirements for nuclear-grade applications, ensuring zero-failure performance in systems critical to plant safety.
