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.

Brad Englert Discusses How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships: Tips for Aspiring and Established Professionals

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-brad-englert-founder-of-brad-englert-advisory-author-of-spheres-of-influence/

Brad Englert, founder of Brad Englert Advisory and author of the bestselling book, “Spheres of Influence: How to Create and Nurture Authentic Business Relationships.” Brad shares his extensive background, including his 22 years at Andersen Consulting, later becoming Accenture, where he specialized in higher education consulting. After a brief retirement, Brad was called back to serve as the Chief Information Officer at The University of Texas at Austin, which highlighted his passion for mentorship and building authentic relationships in business.

Building authentic business relationships is crucial for success in both internal and external spheres of influence. As Brad Englert emphasizes in the podcast episode, the foundation of effective business interactions is understanding people’s goals and aspirations, setting and managing expectations, and genuinely caring for their success. These three principles apply to all business relationships.

In the internal sphere, understanding the goals and aspirations of your supervisor, direct reports, executive leadership, and all your staff is paramount. Brad recommends starting with your boss, as this relationship can significantly impact your career trajectory. By engaging in meaningful conversations and actively listening to your supervisor’s objectives, you can align your efforts to support their success. This alignment fosters a collaborative environment where both parties can thrive.

Brad  outlines  three  key  principles  for  building  all  authentic  business  relationships:

  1. Understanding Goals and Aspirations: It’s essential to go beyond surface-level inquiries. Engaging in deep conversations which enables you to grasp what drives your supervisor, direct reports, customers, peers and influencers, and strategic vendor partners. This understanding enables you to tailor your contributions to help them achieve their
  2. Setting and Managing Expectations: Clear communication about expectations is crucial. By discussing what each party needs from the relationship, you can avoid catastrophic misunderstandings by ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
  3. Genuinely Caring About Their Success: Authenticity is key. When you demonstrate that you genuinely care about their success, it builds trust and strengthens the relationship.

Brad shares his experience with a vendor who was unresponsive and transactional, which ultimately led to their dismissal. In contrast, the replacement vendor prioritized genuine engagement and delivered outstanding customer support which resulted in a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic relationship.

By nurturing internal and external business relationships, you can create a network of support that enhances your overall effectiveness. Brad emphasizes that understanding the needs and goals of external partners is just as critical as it is with internal colleagues. This mutual understanding can lead to collaborative efforts that benefit all parties involved.

Brad shared: “Over 40 years, I’ve come to understand that business success is based on building and nurturing authentic business relationships.”
