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.

6 Reasons Fiberglass is the Pool Material of Choice for Today’s Leisure-Loving Homeowners

When it comes to building a residential swimming pool, homeowners have a variety of materials to consider. While concrete and vinyl remain popular, fiberglass is quickly becoming the go-to choice due to its unique blend of durability, easy maintenance and aesthetic versatility. Here are six reasons why:

  1. Long-Term Durability

Fiberglass is remarkably strong and made of an advanced composite material, resistant to cracking and wear. Unlike concrete, which is rigid and can develop structural cracks over time, fiberglass has the ability to flex in response to environmental impacts, ground shifts and temperature changes. This makes it an ideal option for homeowners who want a pool that lasts for decades.

  1. Low Maintenance

Concrete surfaces are porous, which means they can harbor algae and bacteria, necessitating regular brushing, chemical balancing and even resurfacing over time. By contrast, a fiberglass pool has a smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae growth and requires fewer chemicals and less frequent cleaning. This means less time and money spent on upkeep and a generally healthier swimming environment.

  1. Quick Installation

Concrete pools can take months to install due to the labor-intensive process of excavation, forming, pouring and curing. Fiberglass pools come ready to install, drastically reducing installation time and disruption to daily life. In most cases, a fiberglass pool can be fully installed within just a few days.

  1. Smooth, Comfortable Surface

Unlike the rough and often abrasive surfaces of concrete pools, fiberglass pools are known for their smooth, comfortable texture. There’s no need to worry about scrapes or rough patches, making every dip a relaxing experience.

  1. Energy Efficiency

Fiberglass pools retain heat better than concrete pools, making them more energy efficient. This heat retention not only makes swimming more comfortable but can also reduce the need to run pool heaters as frequently, resulting in energy savings over time.

  1. Modern Aesthetic Appeal

Today’s fiberglass pools come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can be customized with built-in features like tanning ledges, benches, water features and other spa-like elements. Plus, advances in gel-coat finishes allow for different color options that add elegance and personal style to any backyard.

As homeowners increasingly prioritize ease and aesthetics in their outdoor living spaces, fiberglass pools are set to dominate the market as a modern, long-lasting and hassle-free pool solution. To learn more about fiberglass pools, visit LathamPool.com.
