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.

Bond Technologies Provides First-of-Its-Kind Welding Machine for Final Disposal Canisters to Posiva's ONKALO Worksite in Finland

The innovative welding machine uses friction stir welding to secure copper canisters for the final disposal related to spent nuclear fuel.

Bond Technologies, a global leader in friction stir welding (FSW) systems, has officially transferred and installed the world's first welding machine for final disposal canisters to Posiva's ONKALO worksite in Olkiluoto, Eurajoki. Based on the world-class friction stir welding method that Bond Technologies is known for, the new machine will support ongoing final disposal efforts at ONKALO, ensuring tight joining of the cover of each copper canister with the canister body it adheres to.

Delivered from the United States to ONKALO, Bond Technologies' welding machine is based on the company's leading technical position in the industry and its engineering team's experience in the design and construction of FSW systems. Upon installation in Posiva's encapsulation plant, the machine will be put to work securing copper canisters for the final disposal of nuclear materials with reliable and effective results.

The machine, which weighs 25,000 kilograms and measures 3.0 m x 5.2 m x 3.8 m, works by gripping the canister body with a force of 4,000 kN, which helps guarantee that the canister stays in place during the welding process. Once in place, friction stir welding is used to properly weld the top of the canister to its body.

Friction stir welding is a process that uses friction-generated high heat to reach the desired temperature and securely weld two or more workpiece materials together. This results in several key benefits relating to weld quality, including the small grain size of the weld metal, equiaxed grains and random texture, and superior mechanical properties of the finished product. These and other benefits of FSW are essential in nuclear fuel final disposal and will support Posiva's ongoing work at the ONKALO repository.

Those who would like to learn more about friction stir welding and the machine shipped to ONKALO can contact Bond Technologies or visit the company's homepage
