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.

Canon Honored with Three 2025 PRINTING United Alliance Pinnacle Awards

By: via GlobeNewswire

Melville, NY, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce it has been awarded three 2025 Pinnacle Product Awards, recognizing the company’s outstanding innovation in both the Output and Non-Output categories. The Pinnacle Awards are the printing industry’s most prestigious honor, celebrating exceptional products and technologies that advance quality, capability, and productivity.

The Canon Colorado M5, part of the progressive Colorado M-series, was the winner of the Output – Roll-to-Roll UV <80 inches category. Additionally, the imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 was awarded the winner of the Output – Roll-to-Roll Aqueous <80 inches category. In Non-Output, the new Bag-in-Box Inks for the varioPRINT iX Sheetfed Inkjet press won the Digital Inks – Industrial and Packaging category.

“We are incredibly proud to have received these prestigious awards,” said Kiyoshi Oka, executive vice president and general manager, Marketing Strategy Unit, Canon U.S.A. “The Pinnacle Award is a direct reflection of Canon’s innovative spirit. We strive to deliver exceptional products that advance print technology, and it is an honor to have three of our products recognized for exemplifying this.”

Key Highlights About the Award-Winning Products
The Colorado M5 is a highly productive 64-inch roll-to-roll printer which uses flexible UVgel 460 inks, including a high opacity white ink developed for the Colorado M-series, and is capable of printing FLXfinish+ mixed matte and gloss finish. Being a modular printer, the Colorado M-series can be configured to a business’s current needs to create its ideal device. As a business grows, the Colorado M-series can adapt and grow alongside it with easily upgraded features, speed, and inline finishing.

The imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 uses an 11-color + Chroma Optimizer LUCIA PRO II ink set, producing vivid color prints with more accurate color reproduction and improved black density color output compared to predecessor models. Crystalline wax is added to the ink, providing improved resistance to abrasion-caused scratches and improvements to image permanence. The printer’s semi-translucent covers and interior LED lighting allow for easy viewing of ink tanks and loaded media. Equipped with intelligent media handling, the imagePROGRAF PRO-2600 can detect media type, width, and length automatically.

Bag-in-Box Inks pioneer a new way to install ink cartridges in the Canon varioPRINT iX sheetfed inkjet press. Inks which were previously installed via 5kg plastic bottle are now distributed as 10kg plastic bags inside a box, offering both sustainable and operational advantages to users. This new ink feature is present in all varioPRINT iX3200 presses shipped beginning in April 2025.

Pinnacle Awards Program by PRINTING United Alliance
The Pinnacle Awards competition evaluates products that will be available for sale in 2025. A highly qualified panel of judges across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 150+ entries in more than 50 categories spanning analog, digital, output, and non-output technologies.

See the Award-Winning Technology at PRINTING United Expo 2025
Canon is excited to announce that it will be exhibiting the award-winning Colorado M5 at PRINTING United Expo 2025 in Orlando, FL, October 22-24. Visitors can experience the innovation firsthand at Booth #2642.

“A special note of congratulations to Canon and all those honored this year for their outstanding work in the 2025 Pinnacle Awards Program,” said Lindsay Ferrari, Program Administrator, PRINTING United Alliance. “Each Pinnacle Award recipient reflects the bold thinking and technical excellence that continues to elevate and move our industry forward.”
