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.

J.D. Power Study First: Cable Company Spectrum Mobile Ranks Highest (in a Tie) in Wireless Purchase Experience Among Mobile Virtual Network Operators

By: via Business Wire

T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile and Consumer Cellular Also Rank Highest in Respective Segments

For the first time in the study’s history, a cable company, Spectrum Mobile, ranks highest (in a tie with Metro by T-Mobile) among mobile virtual network operators in the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Mobile Virtual Network Operator Performance StudySM—Volume 2, released today along with the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Mobile Network Operator Performance StudySM—Volume 2. Spectrum Mobile’s customers rank its in-store reps the highest, especially their knowledge, concern and courtesy shown combined with the high clarity of information provided, which typically indicates a well-trained, longer-tenured store staff.

The studies also find that, as with the rest of the nation’s businesses, wireless companies are having difficulty finding customer service representatives, both online and in store. Customer satisfaction with the clarity of information provided by store representatives has declined by 0.21 points since Volume 1 of this year’s study. Customers who scored clarity of information a 10 (on a 10-point scale) are significantly less likely to switch carriers, with 73% saying they definitely will not switch.

“Maintaining a fully staffed, highly trained customer service and sales organization in pandemic times is no small feat—the decline in many of the attributes we measure across the purchase experience is not surprising given the number of open positions across the industry,” said Ian Greenblatt, managing director at J.D. Power. “Carriers are investing in highly trained store representatives committed to customer success in search of dividends in customer satisfaction and retention.”

Study Rankings

Among mobile network operators, T-Mobile ranks highest for the eighth consecutive volume, with a score of 808. AT&T (778) ranks second.

Among mobile virtual network operators, Metro by T-Mobile and Spectrum Mobile rank highest in a tie, each with a score of 816. Cricket (815) ranks third.

Among value mobile virtual network operators, Consumer Cellular ranks highest for an 11th consecutive volume, with a score of 865.

Now in the 18th year of publication, the 2021 U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Mobile Network Operator Performance Study and the U.S. Wireless Purchase Experience Mobile Virtual Network Operator Performance Study are based on responses from 10,952 customers who use any one of four purchase channels and evaluate the wireless purchase experience taking place via: phone calls; visits to a carrier store; the carrier website; or the carrier’s mobile app. Overall purchase experience satisfaction with both Mobile Network Operators and Mobile Virtual Network Operators is measured in two factors: Cost and Promotions and Purchase Process. The studies were fielded from January through June 2021.
