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.

United Airlines Begins Construction on New $16M State-of-the-Art Inflight Training Center in Fairfax County

By: Newsfile

Fairfax County, Virginia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2024) - United Airlines has invested $16 million to open a new 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Inflight Training Center in Fairfax County, Virginia near the airline's hub at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). Construction is underway on the new center that is anticipated to open in 2025.

The center will provide safety and service training for up to 650 United flight attendants every month. The new center will include classrooms, cabin and door trainers, and a mock fuselage to practice the safe evacuations of the aircraft and other emergency management situations.

"I want to thank and congratulate United for choosing Fairfax County as the location for this world-class training facility. Not only will this be beneficial to the growing regional flight attendant workforce but for the overall growth of air travel to and from the Greater Washington region," said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeffrey C. McKay. "The national and global connectivity that United provides with its more than 250 daily flights from the Washington Dulles International Airport is vital to our local and regional economic vitality."

The new training center will accommodate the recurrent training needs of United's growing flight attendant workforce. The facility will be the training home for flight attendants supporting United operations at Washington, D.C. area airports, including IAD, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

"At United, we have the industry's best flight attendants, and we're thrilled to be opening a new best-in-class facility in support of their ongoing training right in the backyard of our Washington Dulles hub," said John Slater, United's Senior Vice President of Inflight Services. "This new training center is yet another step in our long-term investment in our people and our commitment to growth here in the Greater Washington region."

As United grows its flight attendant community over the coming years, this facility is another example of the airline's commitment to provide the latest and most modern training resources and support. The Fairfax County facility follows last year's opening of United's expanded and renovated global inflight training center in Houston.

"We are excited and honored that United has chosen to locate their new, state-of-the-art training facility in Fairfax County," said Victor Hoskins, president and CEO of Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA). "We look forward to continuing to support United in their growth journey as they ramp up their efforts to upskill, reskill and train the talent pool of the future."

United has continued to be the largest airline in the world as measured by available seat miles, and locally is the D.C. region's largest carrier offering more flights and destinations than any other airline.

Nearly 40 years ago, United began hub operations at Washington Dulles International Airport. Today, United operates nearly 250 daily flights to approximately 100 destinations around the world from Dulles and the airline is set to open a new 435,000-square-foot concourse at Dulles in 2026.
