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.

Webasto Opens New Plant in Mexico to Support Growing Charging Business

New plant produces charging solutions

Webasto, one of the Top 100 global automotive suppliers, recently celebrated the opening of a new plant in Guanajuato, Mexico. It is the first site dedicated to the company's Charging business in the Americas region and one of three Webasto plants in Mexico. 

The Guanajuato plant currently runs three lines that produce charging solutions, with plans to expand to eight lines by the end of the year with an output of over 20,000 units per week. More than 140 employees currently support production at the plant, numbers which will increase to 200 by the end of 2023. With a current footprint of 12,000 square meters today, an expansion another 10,000 square meters is already planned through 2025.

"As we continue to accelerate our e-mobility product offerings worldwide, North America presents Webasto big potential," said Marcel Bartling, member of the Management Board and chief technology officer for Webasto SE. "The opening of a Charging plant in the region is another step in executing on our strategy and reinforces our investment in the future."

Webasto has been producing mobile charging cables at its roof plant in Irapuato, Mexico about six kilometers from the new Guanajuato plant in recent years. However, as volume and customer demand have increased, the entire charging production has been relocated to the new site, which also offers Webasto ease of expansion moving forward.

"In a relatively short period of time, we've been able to establish our foothold in the charging market in North America, and with this plant, we're positioned to support our customers locally," said Dirk Hofmann, vice president of Operations and Quality for Webasto Charging Systems. 

Webasto continues to consistently advance its transformation and further expand its electromobility solutions. Alongside wallboxes and mobile chargers, Webasto also produces battery systems for passenger cars and commercial vehicles as well as high-voltage heaters for hybrid and electric vehicles.
