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.

Axalta Introduces Axalta Irus Scan, a Next-Generation Spectrophotometer, for Refinish Customers

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Axalta (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global coatings company, today announced the launch of Axalta Irus Scan, its latest spectrophotometer for refinish customers. This new technology scientifically measures paint color on a vehicle to provide accurate color matches in waterborne and solventborne basecoat technologies. Axalta Irus Scan now joins the simple, three-step Axalta Irus digital color management process as the first step of: Scan – Match – Mix.

Axalta Irus Scan leverages a patented inverse angle to detect hue shifting effect pigments which results in a more precise reading for popular achromatic effect colors. Additionally, it is the first spectrophotometer with built-in gloss measurement capabilities to ensure accurate surface preparation and clearcoat product usage. The high definition, RGB camera measures colored sparkle and pairs with Axalta’s color formula retrieval system which leverages a proprietary algorithm to provide the single, best color match for the vehicle under repair from the newly refreshed database of over two million color formulas. This eliminates time in the color match process allowing for more vehicles to be processed faster and more efficiently.

“We are very proud of Axalta Irus Scan and are excited to introduce it to the market,” said Troy Weaver, President of Global Refinish at Axalta. “This new technology was designed with the refinisher in mind as it leverages a next-generation RGB camera and a proprietary retrieval system to provide an accurate color formula for the vehicle being repaired. Axalta Irus Scan improves the Axalta Irus digital color management process as it delivers productivity, accuracy, and sustainability benefits to our body shop customers.”

Axalta Irus Scan has a user-friendly interface with a live view display of the RGB camera and does not require a skilled refinish technician to operate thus optimizing labor and improving paint booth productivity. Axalta Irus Scan provides accurate color, sparkle, and effect readings which reduces the need to do sprayouts to check color and decreases rework from color match errors, resulting in product waste reduction as well as sustainability improvements. These attributes all contribute to making Axalta Irus Scan an industry-leading innovation in spectrophotometers for the refinish market.
