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.

iGUIDE Enhances Architectural and Design Workflows with New DWG Floor Plan Add-on

By: PRLog

The new iGUIDE DWG Floor Plans offer the fastest and most cost-effective solution for capturing and drafting 2D floor plans in native architectural CAD format.

WATERLOO, Ontario - May 9, 2023 - PRLog -- Today, iGUIDE, the leading camera and software platform for capturing and delivering immersive 3D walkthroughs and extensive property data, announces iGUIDE DWG Floor Plans, a DWG file add-on feature that is created from an already processed iGUIDE.

A DWG (short for "drawing") file is a proprietary Autodesk format for storing 2D or 3D design data and metadata supported by AutoCAD, Revit, and other drafting software. iGUIDE DWG Floor Plans are intended to provide a head start on architectural, engineering and construction floor plans and as-built and design drawings and enable faster workflows.

"As a company committed to providing innovative solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction and facility management industries, we are thrilled to introduce iGUIDE DWG Floor Plans as our latest offering," said Jarrad Morden, COO of Planitar Inc., the makers of iGUIDE. "By leveraging an industry-standard DWG file format, we give our partners a head start in creating their architectural and construction floor plans, and as-built and design drawings. We aim to empower our customers with the tools they need to excel in their business by saving time and cost while receiving improved accuracy over other floor plan workflows. The iGUIDE DWG Floor Plan add-on is another example of the value we're bringing to our target markets."

Key features of the DWG Floor Plan:

  • AIA (American Institute of Architects) standard layers
  • Annotations include labels, area totals, objects, dimensions, etc. (Premium only)
  • LOD 200 (level of development)
  • iGUIDE 3D walkthrough: experience the facility virtually

"iGUIDE has launched the DWG Floor Plan add-on as part of our continuous efforts to enrich outputs provided by our technology," said Jarrad Morden. "This update follows the release of other offerings like Real Time Tagging and iGUIDE Preview, which uses computer vision and deep learning AI models to deliver virtual tours and interactive floor plans within minutes of completing a property scan. This latest update is intended to improve the workflow of our partners by shortening their design time with the DWG file output."

Key takeaways:
  • Take thousands of lidar measurements instantly for improved accuracy
  • A faster rate of capture: Measure properties in minutes, not hours
  • Enhanced speed of delivery: Less than 48 hours instead of 5-10 days
  • Less than half the cost of traditional methods
