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.

Chris-Craft Celebrates 150 Years of Boating Excellence with Release of Special Anniversary Edition Launch 27

SARASOTA, Fla., Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chris-Craft, America’s Boatbuilder Since 1874 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Winnebago Industries (NYSE: WGO), is commemorating 150 years of boat-building excellence with the introduction of a special anniversary edition of its iconic Launch 27. The exclusive boat, debuting this week at the Miami International Boat Show (Feb. 14-18, 2024), is the first of two Chris-Craft products launching in 2024 as the brand focuses on reaching the next generation of boating enthusiasts.

“Very few companies have the privilege of prospering long enough to celebrate a 150th anniversary,” said Stephen Heese, president, Chris-Craft. “It’s a testament to the vision of the founder of our company, Christopher Columbus Smith, and to the craftsmen before us who delivered unparalleled design and handcrafted beauty of Chris-Craft boats. Since 1874, our boats have been beloved and passed down to generations of owners worldwide. While we are excited to celebrate this milestone, we are committed to furthering the legacy of Chris-Craft by continuing to invest in new technologies and designs that captivates boaters today and tomorrow.”

The centerpiece of the Chris-Craft 150th anniversary celebration is the release of a special edition of the brand’s iconic Launch 27 boat. Distinguished by a signature aquamarine trim that harkens back to one of the signature colors incorporated into Chris-Craft boats over generations, the special edition Launch 27 pays homage to the brand’s legacy of pleasure boating. Each anniversary boat comes equipped with a 150th burgee and steering wheel cap.

Additionally, the anniversary edition Launch 27 features all the hallmarks that inform Chris-Craft’s legendary approach to boatbuilding, including a signature deep-V hull, reverse transoms, classic lines, hand-selected teak and an uncompromising attention to detail.

A Brand for the Past, Present and Future

Founded by Christopher Columbus Smith in 1874, the Chris-Craft story is interwoven with American history. From pioneering engine-propelled boats and skiffs in Algonac, Michigan, to contributing over 12,000 vessels to the U.S. military during World War II, Chris-Craft has always been a proudly American company.

Chris-Craft boats, which are defined by their handcrafted beauty, elegant design, stylish comfort and peak performance, have drawn discerning boaters and historical figures ranging from Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy to Frank Sinatra and Katherine Hepburn. The brand’s timeless elegance has attracted the attention of audiences in generation-defining films and television shows, including On Golden Pond, Mission: Impossible, The Sopranos and The Crown, among many others.

Chris-Craft's story continues to unfold, shaping the future of pleasure boating. The recent expansion of the brand’s manufacturing operations in Sarasota, Florida, reflects the brand’s commitment to pioneering new technologies and designs, ensuring a legacy of excellence for the next 150 years. In this spirit, Chris-Craft will soon announce an all-new, next-generation boat with a sportier design to attract new members to the Chris-Craft owner family.

Chris-Craft will be celebrating its 150th anniversary throughout 2024 with a series of marketing activations celebrating Chris-Craft owners and dealers, including a unique consumer campaign that spotlights Chris-Craft owner stories across generations.
