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.

Introducing RentalBoss™: Next-Generation Software for Equipment Rental Yards Launching in 2026





From Marketplace to Management: FleetNow® expands its technology to deliver a powerful new solution for rental yards and equipment dealers

CLEVELAND, OH, September 30, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Rental yards and equipment dealers have long struggled with fleet management software that wasn't built to handle the unique challenges of their industry. FleetNow, a Cleveland-based equipment services company, announced today that it is developing RentalBoss, a rental management platform designed specifically for the equipment rental sector. The software is slated for launch in the second quarter of 2026.

The announcement comes as the rental industry faces increasing pressure to digitize. Many independent companies still rely on spreadsheets, paper systems, or software adapted from other industries—leaving gaps in efficiency and customer experience.

FleetNow's team analyzed existing rental software—from POR to Alert Rental to RentalMan. While each has strengths, and some were built with the equipment industry in mind, most weren't designed specifically around the realities of rental yards—leaving teams to wrestle with tools that don't fit their day-to-day business. As FleetNow sees it, that's not good enough. Rental software shouldn't just be generic management software—it needs to be equipment rental software.

In addition to streamlining daily operations, the software is being developed with reporting features that make it easier for rental businesses to track performance and use data to make smarter decisions about their fleets.

This announcement also kicks off the start of a five-part series in which FleetNow will examine the rental software landscape—spotlighting both strengths and gaps in current tools and exploring how technology is reshaping rental operations.

"At OHR Rents and IronTek we live and breathe this business and this industry every day, so we know all too well how fragmented and outdated many rental software solutions are," said Carly Cahlik, CEO and founder of FleetNow. "We couldn't find a platform that was easy to use and truly met the needs of today's rental businesses—so we decided to create one."

RentalBoss is being developed with a focus on intuitive design, practical tools, and scalability. Unlike larger enterprise systems that can be difficult for smaller operators to adopt, RentalBoss is designed to grow with a business, making it accessible for small to mid-sized rental yards while still adaptable to larger fleets.

"The equipment industry is at a turning point," Cahlik added. "Rental businesses need technology that simplifies operations while keeping customers at the center. RentalBoss is our contribution to that shift."
