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.

New Fluke Networks Data Center Kits Deliver Future Ready Equipment to Help Prevent Outages and Fiber Failures

By: via GlobeNewswire

Everett, Washington, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluke Networks today announced the launch of its Versiv Data Center Kits that are designed to keep data centers up and running by identifying copper and fiber network connectivity issues before they arise and troubleshooting them quickly. At a time when artificial intelligence and data center business is expected to more than double to $622.4 billion by 2030*, these kits will equip data center technicians, engineers and operators with the necessary future-ready equipment to maintain and manage the new technologies of hyperscale and enterprise data centers coming online in the next decade.

The new offering from Fluke Networks enable users to maintain and troubleshoot high density connections in hyperscale and enterprise data centers, helping data travel faster and more reliably. These tools also prepare data center technicians and engineers for the future of the industry, where larger facilities bring greater risks of fiber optic contamination and potential network failures. In hyperscale environments and sprawling data center campuses—where tens of thousands of fiber connections are in play—the margin for error is razor-thin, making proactive inspection and maintenance a mission-critical priority.

The Versiv Data Center Kits launch will include the:

  • Fiber and Copper Commissioning and Troubleshooting Kit: Verify and optimize copper and fiber networks at every stage of a data center’s lifecycle—from commissioning and go-live to moves, adds, upgrades, and troubleshooting—to ensure peak performance.
  • Fiber Inspection Kit: Stop fiber optic failures at their source by eliminating end-face contamination, the #1 cause of performance issues.
  • MPO Maintenance and Troubleshooting Kit: Maximize data center density and reduce multi-fiber trunk testing time by 80% with a single button push

In conjunction with the Versiv Data Center Kits launch, Fluke is also introducing accessories that support Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connectors. These connectors enable data centers to increase connection density while maintaining high performance. The new accessories allow CertiFiber™ Pro Optical Loss Test Set users to conduct the recommended single-jumper reference method for testing MDC connections, inspect and clean MMC, MDC, and SN connectors, and follow fiber inspection best-practices to reduce contamination-related failures.

“With over 9,000 data centers worldwide** and AI, cloud, and hyperscale technologies driving explosive growth, infrastructure teams are under unprecedented pressure,” said Mark Mullins, Product Marketing Manager at Fluke. “The new Versiv Data Center Kits are designed to help technicians and engineers meet that challenge head-on—equipping them with future-ready tools to prevent failures, speed up troubleshooting, and ensure high-density fiber connections are clean, tested, and reliable. These kits are about more than just tools—they’re about enabling uptime, performance, and long-term resilience in the data centers powering the next decade of innovation.”

The Versiv Data Center Kits exemplify Fluke Network’s commitment to supporting customers with the tools that match the pace of innovation in the data center space. Whether installing, reconfiguring, or troubleshooting networks, Fluke Networks provides comprehensive solutions that support the latest technologies.

When purchased as a kit, customers can save up to 15% compared to MSRP   pricing for items purchased separately. For more information and to purchase the Versiv Data Center Kits, please visit https://forms.fluke.com/datacenterkits.
