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.

Blue Arc EV Delivery Vans Win 2023 Green Car Product of Excellence Award

NOVI, Mich., May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  The Shyft Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHYF) announced today its Blue Arc™ EV delivery vehicles have received a Green Car Journal 2023 Green Car Product of Excellence™ award.

The award honors commercial vehicles that feature greater environmental performance through higher efficiency, the integration of advanced technology and electronics, and innovative powertrains that achieve decarbonization goals with low or no carbon emissions.

“Thank you to Green Car Journal for selecting Blue Arc EV Solutions for this award, and for recognizing the excellence our team has worked hard to deliver,” said Daryl Adams, President and CEO, The Shyft Group. “Blue Arc brings a unique edge to the competition: nearly 50 years of experience in custom, commercial-grade chassis and work-truck body design and manufacturing as part of The Shyft Group.”

EPA test results show the Blue Arc Class 3 all-electric delivery vehicle can achieve up to a 225-mile city range based on the EPA cycle test with a 165kwh battery pack. This provides customers with a driving range that can comfortably handle and in many cases exceed a daily last-mile delivery route.

In addition to the range, the Blue Arc Class 3 van received a 200-mile range or 45 MPGe combined city / highway rating from the EPA. This means Blue Arc EVs can provide customers with more cargo carrying capacity and more range at the same time. The Blue Arc engineering team is able to achieve these results partially through optimizing the chassis and lightweighting the body to create an efficient and high-performing electric delivery vehicle.

The first order of 2,000 Blue Arc EVs goes into production in the second half of this year. Since announcing its plan in June 2021 to bring electric vehicles to market, Shyft has successfully balanced a rapid development timeline with the robust engineering needed for hard-working commercial vehicles. The Blue Arc EV ecosystem includes Class 3, 4, and 5 all-electric walk-in vans.

Green Car Journal has recognized environmental leadership at auto shows and major event venues through its highly regarded Green Car Awards™ program over the past 18 years. The magazine first presented its coveted Green Car of the Year® award in 2005. Since then, the Green Car Awards have evolved to recognize environmental achievement in an increasing number of vehicle segments including commercial vehicles.
