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.

Flimp Releases New Spouse Health Insurance Plan Comparison Feature in its Industry-Leading Benefits Decision-Support Tool





Seamless AI-powered integration of plan information eases comparisons for choosing best household benefit plans

BOSTON, MA, August 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Flimp, a leading provider of AI-powered employee benefits communication and decision-support tools, today announced a new spouse health plan comparison tool in its Flimp Decisions product. This new feature allows an employee to upload their spouse's medical plan Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and enter basic rate information to compare their own employer-sponsored medical plans with their spouse's plan.

"Flimp Decisions was already an industry-leading benefits decision-support tool with the highest average engagement," said Wayne Wall, CEO of Flimp. "Now, it can also quickly ingest and compare an employee's plan with their spouse's medical plan to increase coverage and improve savings for both the individual and the organization."

Benefits of Flimp Decisions
--Consistently generates 50-70% average completion rates—the highest in the industry
--Fast setup, takes less than a week in most cases
--It takes just minutes to complete and identify the best-fit plan
--Users can easily run multiple scenarios to compare results
--Does not require medical history and all personal health data is de-identified
--Licenses include setup, engagement reporting, educational videos for core medical and ancillary benefits, plus analytics tools for employers.

Key Benefits of the AI-Assisted Spouse Medical Plan Comparison Tool
--Healthcare cost savings for employers: By empowering employees to compare and choose the most cost-effective plan for their household, employers may see a shift from family to single coverage, or waiver of redundant coverage altogether—helping reduce employer-paid premiums.

--Healthcare cost savings for employees: Employees may discover they can save money by enrolling in a spouse's plan, especially where their employer offers more generous contributions or lower premiums. The tool provides a clear, side-by-side breakdown to support those choices.

--Time savings for HR teams: With employees able to quickly compare their options through an intuitive digital interface, HR teams can spend less time fielding plan-related questions and more time on strategic priorities.

--Enhanced accuracy and speed with AI assistance: The AI-enabled tool rapidly extracts and organizes critical data from SBC documents, ensuring accurate comparisons and massively reduces the time spent to manually compare plans.

The new spouse benefit comparison feature is available now to all Flimp Decisions clients ahead of the 2025–26 open enrollment season. It complements Flimp's other benefits communication solutions including benefits guides, videos, Digital Postcards, microsites and more—all designed to improve benefits literacy and streamline the OE decision-making process.
