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.

AKCP Announces Firmware Update Featuring BACnet Protocol Support

By: PRLog
AKCP, the world's leading manufacturer of environmental and power monitoring solutions, today announced a firmware update across its product line, introducing native BACnet protocol support. This allows seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), reinforcing AKCP's role as a trusted partner for data centers, telecommunications, and industrial facilities worldwide.

SAN FRANCISCO - July 25, 2025 - PRLog -- With this update, AKCP's sensorProbe+ series of base units now feature BACnet/IP compatibility, enabling communication of sensor data — such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and power parameters — directly to BACnet-compliant systems. This eliminates the need for third-party gateways or middleware, simplifying deployment and cutting integration costs.

Key benefits of the new firmware include:
  • Native BACnet/IP Support: Seamless integration into BACnet-enabled building automation systems.
  • Enhanced visibility: Share mission-critical environmental data with BMS, improving operational visibility.
  • Cost and Complexity Reduction: No additional hardware or protocol translators required.
  • Future-Ready Architecture: Lays the groundwork for future enhancements and greater scalability.

"At AKCP we are always seeking to add value to our monitoring system and expand the number of systems we can communicate with. Implementing BACnet, a protocol that's commonly found in modern building automation, further enhances our product range," said Nicholas Barrowclough, President of AKCP. "This enhancement ensures our customers can incorporate AKCP's environmental monitoring capabilities directly into their facility management systems with minimal effort."

Availability
The BACnet-enabled firmware is available today for all compatible AKCP devices. Customers can download the firmware and view release documentation through the AKCP support portal.
