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.

QualSights Launches UseSights: A Breakthrough Platform That Captures Real-World Product Usage As It Happens

The world's only usage intelligence platform opens the black box between purchase and repurchase, revealing how consumer goods products are truly used.

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / QualSights, an award-winning provider of consumer insights technology, yesterday announced the launch of UseSights, a subscription-based usage intelligence platform that finally bridges the knowledge gap between what products people buy and how they actually use them.

For decades, brands have relied on media, promotions, shelves, and purchase data. But between purchase and repurchase, a critical dataset has been missing: how products are used in everyday life. This blind spot has limited growth opportunities, leaving marketers to guess at the drivers of loyalty, repeat purchases, and product performance.

The UseSights usage intelligence platform makes product usage visible. The platform features QualSights' patented system of always-on Smart Sensors and AI analytics, which track real-world product usage passively and precisely. The XMOTTM (Exact Moment of Truth) Method triggers survey, video, or audio prompts the instant a product is used, capturing unfiltered feedback without relying on recall.

UseSights offers syndicated benchmarks for informed growth decisions and tailored insights to support confident innovation, renovation, and optimization. Category-level benchmarks that reveal occasions, needs, jobs, habits, and trends; and show how a brand performs against them. With this visibility, consumer goods companies can identify whitespace, sharpen competitive positioning, and prioritize growth opportunities. Deep dives triggered with the XMOT Method provide context-rich understanding of product performance, consumer behavior, and emotional drivers, without relying on recall, enabling brands to refine products, packaging, and messaging with confidence.

"Sustained growth doesn't come from what's bought; it comes from how products are used," said Nihal Advani, Founder & CEO of QualSights. "UseSights opens the black box of usage, giving brands a continuous, syndicated dataset alongside the ability to zoom in for tailored insights. This changes the way growth decisions are made."

"This is a game-changer for CPG marketers," added Mitch Barns, QualSights Board of Directors and former CEO of Nielsen. "For the first time, brands can observe in-home product usage behavior at scale and then connect those observations to immediate consumer feedback. This moves us from assumptions to truth, from lagging metrics to in-the-moment intelligence, from data chaos to actionable insights."

In addition to Barns, QualSights' Board of Directors includes some of the most recognized leaders in market research, brand marketing, and data & analytics, all of whom believe in the vision and impact of UseSights. Gian Fulgoni, Venture Partner at 4490, former Chairman & CEO at ComScore and President & CEO at IRI; Tod Johnson, Board Chair for Circana (formerly IRI and NPD) and former Executive Chairman of The NPD Group; Sanjay Khosla, Senior Fellow at Kellogg School of Management and former President at Kraft Foods; Mohanbir Sawhney, Associate Dean of Innovation at Kellogg School of Management; Karyn Schoenbart, Co-founder & Managing Director of Duo Partners and former CEO of The NPD Group; Rishad Tobaccowala, former Chief Growth Officer at Publicis Groupe.

By combining real-world usage data, contextual engagement, and AI-powered interpretation, UseSights transforms hidden behavior into decision-ready intelligence. Brands can finally connect product usage to repeat purchase, loyalty, and category growth, turning usage into growth.

UseSights is now available by subscription across various consumer goods categories, including food and beverage, household products, beauty and personal care, small appliances, pharmaceuticals, and more.
