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.

Cooper Standard’s Thermoplastic Thermal Management Solution for Battery Electric Vehicles Wins SPE® Automotive Innovation Award

Cooper Standard (NYSE: CPS) is pleased to announce that it has earned an Automotive Innovation Award from the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) for its Thermoplastic BEV (battery electric vehicle) Thermal Management Solution supplied to the 2023 General Motors Co. Cadillac Lyriq. Cooper Standard was recognized during the 51st annual Automotive Innovation Awards Gala, held Nov. 2 in Livonia, Mich. The event is the oldest and largest recognition event (established in 1970) in the automotive and plastics industries.

“This is a notable honor for Cooper Standard, as the Company continues to evolve for the future of mobility and meet the needs of our customers,” said Tom Stimson, VP, engineering & product development, Cooper Standard. “Our Thermoplastic BEV Thermal Management Solution is a great example of the impactful evolution Cooper Standard is creating. Congratulations to our dedicated employees who contributed to this outstanding achievement.”

Cooper Standard’s Thermoplastic Thermal Management Solution for Battery Electric Vehicles Wins SPE® Automotive Innovation Award

Cooper Standard’s Thermoplastic BEV Thermal Management Solution was honored in the Materials category. The solution involves two developments that provide a lightweight, thermoplastic solution for BEV thermal management systems. The two developments are:

  • Cooper Standard’s PlastiCool® 2000 multilayer tubing for glycol applications that reach 120°C, which provides excellent chemical resistance, 25% better permeation resistance and 60% lower weight than EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer). It is available in smooth, convoluted, round and non-round configurations.

  • Ergo-Lock™+ connectors, which are designed to meet the growing demands of diverse powertrains. Ergo-Lock+ provides performance and product feature enhancements – flexibility, visual and scannable latch verification, and reduced insertion forces by more than 30% (versus traditional VDA connectors). The system’s modularity permits hundreds of connector configurations to be produced from a standard set of molded subcomponents at lower total cost.

The SPE Automotive Innovation Awards program honors the best companies in automotive plastics. Category and Grand Award winners were selected from a group of finalists by a group of journalists, academics, and retired industry chief engineers.
