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.

Johnson Electric and Aegis Sortation to Showcase Warehouse Automation Innovations at MODEX 2024

New MDR technology increases throughput by 250%

VANDALIA, US - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 March 2024 - Johnson Electric, a global leader in electric motors, actuators, motion subsystems and related electro-mechanical components, will debut two warehouse automation technologies in a strategic partnership with Aegis Sortation, a leading manufacturer of sortation and conveyor solutions, at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta, March 11 to 14, in the Aegis Sortation booth (B8046).

At MODEX, Johnson Electric will launch TrueDrive™, a new approach to motorized drive roller (MDR) conveyors, capable of boosting throughput up to 250% compared to leading solutions. The company will also showcase VersaSort™, a compact steerable wheel module that allows divert functions to operate up to twice as fast in small- to medium-sized sortation systems.

TrueDrive re-imagines MDR technology from the ground up with exclusive Dynamic Zone Control™ (DZC). Instead of multi-roller zones connected by failure-prone belts, drive motors are cost-effectively integrated into individual rollers. This fresh approach enables rapid acceleration, tighter accumulation on the fly and greater energy efficiency. DZC systems also reduce maintenance and improve safety by eliminating O-rings and pneumatic infrastructure while enabling predictive maintenance capabilities.

VersaSort leverages small-motor technology in modules of four to eight rollers, each capable of rotating up to 180 degrees, which allows packages as small as 2.0"x 1.5" to be sorted at speeds of up to 400 FPM. Individual angle control makes tighter spacing between items possible, resulting in higher throughput.

At MODEX, both technologies will be featured in a working zero-pressure accumulation and diverter table designed by Aegis Sortation.

"TrueDrive and VersaSort offer innovative new throughput and sortation capabilities that will change the way we think about warehouse automation," said Stephen Pennington, Vice President, IPG Americas, for Johnson Electric. "We're very excited about the partnership with Aegis Sortation and the opportunity to demonstrate both technologies as part of a fully functioning solution at MODEX."

"These revolutionary innovations support the Aegis Sortation philosophy of 'Driving Innovation, Transforming Business!' They're enabling us to build state-of-the-art modern capabilities into our products that will help the industry overcome many long-standing challenges," said Tony Young, President and CEO, Aegis Sortation.

The strategic partnership between Johnson Electric and Aegis Sortation delivers innovation that provides higher throughput, improved uptime and greater flexibility. Johnson Electric designers and engineers will be available for on-site consultation at the Aegis Sortation booth throughout MODEX. In-person demonstrations of both technologies are available by appointment.
