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 Statement Regarding Legislation Introduced to Reauthorize the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act

Washington, D.C., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Engine Technology Forum issued the following statement from Executive Director Allen Schaeffer about the introduction of HR 2140; legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives for reauthorizing the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA).

“We thank Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA) and Reps. Ken Calvert (R-CA), Chellie Pingree (D-ME), and Nick Langworthy (R-NY) for their leadership introducing this important legislation that reauthorizes the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act. The DERA program is widely considered one of the federal government’s most successful, cost effective, and bipartisan programs that benefits every state and thousands of small businesses.

“In its fifth report to Congress, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated the program has upgraded over 74,000 heavy-duty vehicles or pieces of off-road equipment, saved more than 520 million gallons of fuel. It 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 Agriculture, airport, and transit sectors.

“We look forward to working with leaders in both the House and Senate to ensure that this beneficial program can continue to help transition from older technology and put the newest generation of advanced diesel, natural gas, propane, and other technologies in service.

“The novel program achieves these benefits by requiring significant non-federal matching funds  for projects seeking federal funding. The EPA estimates every $1 in federal assistance is met with another $3 in non-federal matching funds, including significant investments from the private sector, and generates $5 to $21 in economic and 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 while 12% of awarded grants have partially or entirely funded electric vehicle projects. The remaining 24% of awarded grants entirely funded alternative fuel vehicle and/or engine replacements.

“DERA is uniquely 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. Approximately 30% of heavy-duty commercial trucks on the road are of older generations, without the benefit of new emissions control technology now standard on trucks.

“Every state benefits from DERA as 30% of the funding goes to support individual state programs. The awarded DERA projects translate into approximately $8 billion in monetized health benefits and a return of over $10 in benefits for every $1 of investment gained from the $629 million in DERA funding awards between FY 2008 and FY 2018. The program has reduced 16,800 tons of emissions of particulate matter (PM) and 491,000 tons of oxides of nitrogen (NOX).”
