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.

Xometry’s Thomas Introduces “Build America, Buy America” Category On Its Popular Thomasnet.com Sourcing Platform

  • New Category On Thomasnet.com Makes It Easy For Enterprise Buyers To Identify Manufacturers That Are Compliant With The BABA Initiative
  • Part Of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, BABA Requires Federally Funded Infrastructure Projects To Source Materials, Components And Products Produced In the U.S.
  • Designation Reflects Thomas’ Commitment To Further Strengthen America’s Domestic Supply Chain In Support Of The Country’s 600,000+ Small- And Mid-Size Manufacturers

NORTH BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xometry’s Thomas, a leading industrial sourcing platform, today announced that it has added “Build America, Buy America” as a recognized certification on its popular Thomasnet.com, a multifaceted directory of more than 500,000 suppliers.

The addition of the “Build America, Buy America” (BABA) category allows domestic manufacturers on Thomasnet.com to signal their compliance with the BABA initiative, a significant component of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Under the act, BABA requires federally funded infrastructure projects to source materials, products and construction materials that are produced or manufactured in the United States.

“Our aim is to help major companies seamlessly connect with BABA-compliant suppliers to further strengthen our domestic supply chain and provide continued support to American manufacturers,” said Randy Altschuler, CEO of Xometry, parent company to Thomas. “America’s 600,000 small- and mid-size manufacturers are the backbone of our domestic economy and are deeply ingrained in their communities. Supporting them is a win for the American worker, for our neighbors and for our country.”

“Investing in America means giving our companies the tools they need to Make It In America. That's why we made the Build America, Buy America initiative a cornerstone of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” said Congressman Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland. “I’m pleased to see the creative ways that Thomas is helping connect BABA-compliant suppliers with the manufacturers who represent the bedrock of our economy. As Chair of the Regional Leadership Council, I am grateful for the cooperation of partners like Thomas and Xometry as we work to implement the transformative laws that we enacted last Congress.”

Suppliers on Thomas can easily self-identify as BABA compliant directly on Thomasnet.com, North America’s largest platform for industrial sourcing. Nearly 500,000 suppliers on the Thomasnet.com platform are based in the United States. More information about the Build America, Buy America act is available here.
