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.

Tips for Artificial Turf Installation in Houston

Do you dislike having lawnmowers and weed whackers in your yard? Well, you are in luck. Artificial turf is an excellent addition to any outdoor space and can help you channel your energy into something positive. If you are considering artificial turf for your work, home, or school but need help figuring out where to start, read this article. You will learn briefly what artificial turf is, how it is installed, and why it is gaining popularity.

Artificial Turf Installation in Houston

Artificial turf is a synthetic surface consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon. This surface, often known as synthetic grass, is used for football or soccer. A surface made of artificial turf can endure up to 17 years without maintenance. In the NRG Stadium in Houston, turf installation has been evident since the 2015 NFL season. This turf helps reduce the time it takes for the field to dry after the rain by preventing it from becoming muddy and dirty.

Tips for Artificial Turf Installation

Artificial turf installation in Houston might be complex. Before you begin, there are a lot of factors you need to consider. They include:

– Preparing a solid substrate

A firm base is essential if you want to get the most out of your artificial turf, which is a fantastic substitute for natural grass. The turf will survive longer and provide a better surface on a stable substrate. Use sand or broken stone for a substrate perfect for artificial turf. Small rocks or pea gravel are other options. Before laying down the substrate, make sure to combine it with water.

– Kill Existing Grass Without Harm

Before installing artificial turf, you must eliminate existing grass. Using insecticides, herbicides, and other techniques are only a few options. Some substances, including glyphosate, can penetrate the grass and harm the environment. A herbicide that won’t hurt the turf or nearby plants is the best approach to eradicating the current grass.

– Cut the edges slightly long.

A square edge is used in many artificial turf installation projects. However, you can slightly lengthen the edges of your lawn if you want your installation to look more natural. This will give the turf additional depth and make it seem more realistic. Additionally, you can use this to improve your installation’s professionalism and realistic appearance.

– Select Turf and Infill Based on Expected Use

Before purchasing turf, like any other project, it’s crucial to determine the kind you require. When making this choice, there are factors to consider, including the frequency of turf use and the terrain type. 

– Keep the blade direction uniform.

To get the best results, maintain a consistent blade direction when installing artificial turf on a surface. Use a blade with a blade direction indicator or stick to a pattern to do this. Before the turf is installed, the design must be made visible from the turf’s surface.
