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.

DIRTT's Update on Litigation with Falkbuilt, Smed and Loberg

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. ("DIRTT" or the "Company") (TSX: DRT; OTC: DRTTF), a leader in industrialized construction, announced an update on the Company's litigation against Falkbuilt, Smed and Loberg.

On February 5, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Utah granted Falkbuilt's motion to dismiss the case DIRTT brought against it in Utah, on the basis of forum non conveniens. In simple terms, the Utah Court decided that it would not hear DIRTT's claims in Utah because Canada is an adequate alternative forum (i.e., location) and Canadian law applies to most of DIRTT's claims. Further, the Utah Court found that DIRTT's Canadian company, DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd., owns the trade secrets that were the subject matter of the Utah claim, so whether the theft of those trades secrets occurred in Canada or abroad, they would result in injury to DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. and could be pursued in Canada. The Utah Court, in essence, redirected the determination of those damages from Utah to Canada, being the appropriate forum for the legal dispute.

Meanwhile, in November 2024, the Court of King's Bench of Alberta, Canada, scheduled the Canadian lawsuit for an 8-week trial commencing February 2, 2026, and running consecutively until March 27, 2026. With the Canadian trial commencing less than a year away, DIRTT is pursuing damages and losses it suffered in Canada, the United States, and abroad in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta. The Canadian Court will determine whether Falkbuilt, Mogens Smed, Barrie Loberg and others wrongfully caused DIRTT to suffer damages, which could exceed $50,000,000. DIRTT is confident in the strength of its case.
