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.

ECD Auto Design Celebrates Milestone with 600th One-of-One SUV: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

ECD 600th SUV Celebration

KISSIMMEE, Fla., Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECD Auto Design, the renowned leader in bespoke luxury vehicles, proudly announces the completion of its 600th SUV, a monumental achievement in its 12-year journey of redefining automotive customization. Since 2013, ECD Auto Design has earned its reputation by handcrafting each vehicle as a one-of-one masterpiece, uniquely tailored to reflect the style, vision, and personality of its owner. With a portfolio that now spans across several iconic vehicle lines, SUV’s were at the start and core of ECD’s legacy. Our 600th SUV build is a Land Rover Defender, a milestone that holds special significance as it reflects the very foundation of our business and the vehicle that started it all and stands as a testament to the company’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and personalization.

A Legacy Built One Story at a Time

This is not merely a production milestone, it’s a celebration of 600 distinct journeys, each one beginning with a blank canvas and culminating in a unique expression of individuality. Speaking regarding the beginning of each client journey, John Price, ECD’s Director of Design, shared: “Every build at ECD starts with a conversation, a spark of a client’s dream. From discovering their vision to walking them through the design phase, we’re crafting more than just a vehicle. We’re shaping their story into something tangible and extraordinary.”

A Celebration of Craftsmanship: Where Rugged Capability Meets Refined Elegance

This milestone commemorative Defender 110 is a masterful blend of rugged capability and refined elegance. Finished in a timeless Keswick Green with matching body accents, the vehicle’s bold exterior is complemented by 20-inch retro-style wheels, a sleek black roll cage, and a set of LED lights that hint at its adventurous spirit.

Inside, the Defender exudes sophistication with plush Granite leather seating, a custom French oak cargo area, and modern technology, including a touchscreen stereo and rear air conditioning. Powered by a roaring GM LT1 V8 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this one-of-a-kind creation offers exhilarating performance alongside luxurious comfort.

“Reaching 600 SUVs is a profound achievement, as each one is a testament to our dedication to individuality, craftsmanship, and pursuit of perfection.” said Emily Humble, Chief Production Officer and Co-Founder of ECD Auto Design. “This milestone is a credit to ECD's ability to deliver highly customized one-of-one builds at scale, continuing our strong year on year production growth”.

As ECD reflects on this milestone, the company looks forward to continuing its legacy of crafting one-of-a-kind vehicles from rugged and stylish SUVs to powerful iconic classic sports cars that push the boundaries of innovation and design.
