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.

Advance Auto Parts Names Gilmore 2021 Vendor of the Year

Automotive aftermarket parts provider recognizes six additional brand partners during its

annual Partner Growth Summit and helps raise $1.5 million for Building Homes for Heroes

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts retailer, presented its 2021 Vendor of the Year awards during the company’s annual Partner Growth Summit, held virtually in Raleigh, N.C. During the event, Advance honored numerous vendors for their partnership and performance and helped raise $1.5 million for Building Homes for Heroes through vendor contributions. Since 2009, Advance has helped raise more than $16 million for Building Homes for Heroes, which gifts mortgage-free homes to wounded service members.

The 2021 Vendor of the Year award was presented to Gilmore, an expert in flow control solutions. A partner of Advance for over 20 years, Gilmore was recognized for its exemplary product quality standards, partnership on major company initiatives and consistently proven dedication and loyalty.

“Our vendor partners consistently show passion and dedication to provide DIYers and professional customers with the best parts selection in the industry,” said Jason McDonell, Advance’s executive vice president of merchandising, marketing and eCommerce. “These partnerships are crucial to our success and the ability to meet our customer’s needs would not be possible without them. On behalf of Advance, we thank those that attended this year’s Partner Growth Summit and congratulate Gilmore and all of our award winners.”

Advance awarded the 2021 New Vendor of the Year to Solmark International Inc., and Action Sales & Marketing. Facing unprecedented demand, these partners delivered over 12 million masks for Advance team members at a time of critical need. Their partnership, speed and execution played a key role in providing PPE material to Advance’s distribution centers and stores to keep team members and customers safe.

Amalie Oil Company was named Strategic Initiative Vendor of the Year for their high level of service, availability and contribution toward sales growth. As the lead supplier in a major company initiative transitioning private label fluids from Carquest to FRAM, their innovative solutions allowed Advance to become a leader in private label lubricants, achieving growth in sales and market share.

Clarios was named the co-winner of the Strategic Initiative Vendor of the Year award for taking on a large product changeover with no impact to supply. While creating a project strategy around the changeover, they provided dedicated customer support to Advance’s store teams.

Anchor Industries was named the Superior Availability Vendor of the Year for providing excellent support to Advance and its customers. A partner for over 30 years, Anchor consistently sets the standard for order fill and on-time delivery.

The Professional Excellence Vendor of the Year was awarded to Motorcar Parts of America (MPA). A leader in the automotive aftermarket, MPA collaborated with several Advance teams and was a partner on major initiatives such as margin expansions and new store openings. Their partnership included a brand changeover to Carquest Premium, a product that provided Advance a distinct competitive position in the aftermarket industry.
