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.

Little League Team in California Moves to a New Playing Field Due to Lead Contamination Concerns from Nearby Airport

By: WebWire

A Little League team in East San Jose recently announced they were leaving the fields they have used for 50 years after Santa Clara County officials informed them they had to vacate the property. In a letter sent to Eastridge Little League, the county wrote the use of the ball fields adjacent to the Reid-Hillview Airport had been rescinded because of ongoing issues with leaded aviation fuel and FAA regulations.

Over the past year there has been focused attention on the local airport due to lead exposure issues. In a news release from 2021, Santa Clara County stated:

A study commissioned by the County of Santa Clara on lead exposure risks for children living in the area around Reid-Hillview Airport in East San José found that the continued use of leaded aviation fuel has contributed to increased blood lead levels, particularly for those within a half-mile of the facility.

“Most people have no idea that aviation gasoline (avgas) for piston engine aircraft is the only remaining transportation fuel still used in this country that contains lead,” said Michael Chapman, Laboratory Manager of LA Testing's Huntington Beach facility. “According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the use of this fuel is the largest remaining aggregate source of lead emissions to air in the United States.”

Offering laboratory testing services to identify lead exposure risks in/and around airports are the environmental and industrial hygiene professionals at LA Testing. They operate laboratories throughout California that provide testing services for lead and other heavy metals from air, soil, water, dust, paint chips, and other types of samples. LA Testing also offers sampling supplies and easy-to-use test kits.
