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.

Revolutionizing Outdoor Hydration: Glacier Fresh Debuts OSMOGO RV RO Water Purifier for Clean, Safe Water Anywhere

By: Newsfile

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - August 15, 2025) - Glacier Fresh, a leader in innovative water filtration solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking OSMOGO RV Reverse Osmosis (RO) System, designed to empower full-time RVers, van lifers, and off-grid adventurers with pure, safe drinking water no matter where their journey takes them. This compact, powerful system shatters the limitations of traditional RV water filtration.

The Untamed Challenge: Why Outdoor Safety Needs Reinvention

For decades, outdoor hydration relied on compromises:

  • Boiling & Chemicals: Time-consuming and ineffective against heavy metals like lead or arsenic.

  • Bottled Water: Environmentally catastrophic (480 billion plastic bottles discarded yearly) and impractical for extended trips.

  • Standard Filters: Limited to sediment and bacteria, failing against viruses or dissolved toxins.

"Clean streams can hide E. coli, giardia, or industrial runoff. A 24-hour illness in cities becomes a crisis in the backcountry," notes Glacier Fresh's Chief Engineer, Alex Chen, reflecting on 3 years of field research.

Meet OSMOGO: The Ultra-Portable RV Reverse Osmosis System

Uniquely among camping filters, OSMOGO RV water purifier employs a true reverse-osmosis membrane stage – the same technology found in home RO systems – adapted for on-the-go use. Inside, the OSMOGO contains a 3-stage composite filtration system: a sediment/carbon pre-filter, a reverse-osmosis membrane, and an activated carbon post-filter.

Key features of the OSMOGO include.

  • Ultra-portable design: Weighing just a few pounds with a built-in handle, it fits into RV storage or packs.

  • USB-C Power: Runs on standard 24V DC (draws 30W) from any USB power bank or power adapter. No AC power is needed, making it ideal for boondocking.

  • Durable Outdoor Build: Engineered to work in broad conditions(4–40 °C, 5–90% humidity), its rugged shell withstands bumps and jostles common on trails.

  • High-Performance Filtration: The RO membrane blocks viruses and dissolved heavy metals, while carbon filters reduce chlorine and chemicals. Each composite filter treats 2,000-4,000 liters of water — enough for weeks of use on extended trips.

Together, these features make OSMOGO a step above conventional camping filters. Many lightweight straw or pump filters cannot stop viruses or dissolved pollutants. In contrast, OSMOGO's RO membrane leaves virtually none of these contaminants behind. In practical terms, campers can plug it into a power bank and fill a jug from a lake or questionable spigot, then drink with confidence.

Choose OSMOGO: Advantages Over Traditional Outdoor Filters

Traditional portable filters(hollow-fiber pumps, charcoal units, UV pens, etc.) are useful but each has limits. OSMOGO's RO-based design is a major advance that tackles nearly all common contaminants:

  • Pathogen Removal: Removes bacteria, parasites and viruses, whereas most gravity or pump filters handle only the first two. OSMOGO's RO stage ensures the water meets strict potable standards.

  • Chemical & Metal Safety: The activated carbon layers reduce chlorine and organic chemicals, and the RO membrane rejects dissolved arsenic, lead, mercury and other toxins – feats that simple filters or chemical disinfectants alone cannot accomplish.

  • Convenience: Once set up, OSMOGO runs continuously without manual effort. Unlike slow gravity drip or manual pump systems, it provides a steady flow (about 0.26 L/min) with no pumping needed.

  • Longevity: Each filter cartridge lasts for thousands of liters. This means far fewer filter changes compared to most travel filters.

Explore OSMOGO: Real-World Use Cases

The OSMOGO RV water purifier was built to solve real travel needs:

  • Full-Time RVers & Van-Lifers: Hook it up at campgrounds or boondock sites to any faucet or hose. Even spotty or aging supplies can be purified, ensuring the RV's onboard tank and kitchen always have safe water.

  • Off-Grid & Backcountry Adventures: Filter lake, river or rainwater while hiking, camping or overlanding. With a power bank or solar panel, even wilderness sources can become drinkable.

  • Emergency & Home Use: Acts as a reliable backup during outages or natural disasters. Any fresh water (tap, well, creek) can be filtered when supplies are interrupted. OSMOGO also doubles as a compact countertop RO system for home use, aligning with Glacier Fresh's "total scenario freedom" concept.

These scenarios highlight OSMOGO's adaptability: it truly delivers clean water anywhere, whether at a campsite or in the kitchen.

Expanding the Eco-system: Glacier Fresh's Commitment to Every Hydration Scenario

While the OSMOGO RV water purifier redefines mobility, Glacier Fresh's comprehensive product ecosystem addresses water safety across all environments.

For home and kitchen use, high-capacity tankless RO systems like the Glacier Fresh U03 Elite deliver 800 gallons per day for large households. Refrigerator-specific filters maintain mineral balance for crisp-tasting water and ice. For off-grid resilience, gravity-fed purification systems provide reliable backup during emergencies. For living room or bedroom, PURELA glass filter pitcher using recyclable glass, cutting plastic waste by 65%.

In 2025 Glacier Fresh launched an "industry-first eco filtration line," partnering with sustainability advocates to incorporate greener materials and processes. "Our partnerships with material scientists and outdoor gear specialists prove sustainability isn't a trade-off for performance," states CEO William Wu.
