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.

Engine Technology Forum Calls on House Leaders to Prioritize Action on the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Following Senate Passage

Washington, D.C., May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Engine Technology Forum issued the following statement from Executive Director Allen Schaeffer following the U.S. Senate’s passage of S. 2195.

“The Engine Technology Forum urges action in the U.S. House of Representatives on H.R. 5444, an equivalent measure to extend the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act through fiscal year 2029.

“As the initial sponsor of the DERA program, Sen. Tom Carper, D-D.E., has been instrumental to this successful, bipartisan program and all the results it has achieved. His, and Sen. Shelly Moore Capito’s, R-W.V., leadership in the Senate sets the stage for consideration in the House.

“DERA provides grants and rebates to incentivize both equipment as well as vehicle owners to modernize and upgrade existing heavy-duty diesel vehicles and engines, typically reducing emissions by more than 90%. DERA is recognized as one of the most cost-effective federal clean air programs. For every dollar invested, $10 or more is returned in the form of benefits.

“With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, considerable funding is being directed toward electrification and zero emission technologies as well as fueling infrastructure for school buses along with commercial trucks and buses. These approaches are not suitable or available alternatives for all types of users, engines, vehicles, or equipment.

“Notably, DERA provides the only federal funding support to address categories of off-road engines and equipment – including marine work boats, railroad locomotives, and material handling equipment – all of which are commonly among the oldest in use. This also means they have higher emissions profiles, but they can achieve significantly lower outputs when they’re the beneficiary of DERA funding. Project requests for the DERA program have regularly exceeded funding availability, with $170 million more in project proposals submitted in 2017 and 2018 than funds available.

“In its most recent report to Congress, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which administers the DERA program, highlighted its results over a 10-year period (2008-2018). Thanks to the $801 million in funding, the DERA program eliminated nearly half a million tons of nitrogen oxides, nearly 17 million tons of particulate matter, and more than 5.3 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. These translate into approximately $8 billion in monetized health benefits.

“The DERA grant program is highly competitive and technology neutral. According to the EPA, since DERA was last reauthorized in 2020, approximately 64% of awarded grants have partially or entirely funded diesel vehicle and/or engine replacements. A total of 12% of awarded grants have partially or entirely funded electric vehicle and/or engine replacements. The remaining 24% of awarded grants have entirely funded alternative fuel vehicle and/or engine replacements.

“The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) has provided important assistance to communities as well as fleet and equipment owners to modernize existing engines and equipment. The program has given priority to projects operating in areas designated as having poor air quality, touching every state and tribal nation, U.S. Territories, and the District of Columbia, providing 30% of its funding to state governments with the remainder to a highly competitive federal grant process for individual projects.

“The DERA program has funded a vast array of projects, including upgrades in the school bus sector (43%), freight/trucking (36%), construction (7%), port (5%), municipal (3%) as well as lesser numbers of projects in the agriculture, airport, and transit sectors.

“We look forward to continuing our work with leaders in the House to ensure that this beneficial, bipartisan, and cost-effective program will continue to contribute to cleaner air, lower fuel consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.”
