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.

Platypod® Secures Fifth Patent

One of the photography industry's leading accessory companies continues to innovate with advances on its Platypod product line.

Platypod recently received its fifth patent related to the Platypod eXtreme. The company makes products for all sorts of content creators including photographers, filmmakers, and vloggers. 

This new utility patent gives the company exclusivity on photographic baseplates with several hinged adjustable legs. It builds upon a previous patent for a baseplate with an indwelling non-ferrous bolt to hold tripod heads, goosenecks, lights, clamps, and other photographic accessories.

Platypod eXtreme starts off as a plate, approximately 5" x 8," fashioned of 5mm thick, 6062 aircraft-grade aluminum. The plate has an embedded and virtually indestructible 3/8"-16 titanium bolt. This is the photography industry standard for mounting most consumer and practically all professional tripod heads onto a tripod system.

The plate incorporates four hinges, allowing for corresponding threaded spikes to be placed in one of several positions to attain a secure grip on surfaces, such as rocks, concrete, and ice.

The spikes are also capped at one end with heavy-duty, rubber feet for placement on more delicate surfaces, such as car hoods and roofs. They can also be positioned to hang from vertical surfaces, such as chair and bench backs or doors.

In addition, the Platypod eXtreme also has open and closed belt slots for strapping onto trees, poles, and railings. It also features several countersunk holes for semi-permanent attachment with carpenter's screws to walls and beams.

The Platypod eXtreme also includes several other photographic industry-compatible ¼"- 20 threaded holes to allow attachment of goosenecks, hinged elbows, and other devices to incorporate lighting, sound, and video display equipment.

This patent reinforces Platypod's role as a leader in the imaging industry. Founded in 2014, Platypod produces the most compact, heavy-duty baseplate available, along with other products used by content creators around the world.
