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.

Renewal by Andersen Ranks Highest in Manufacturer Segment and Ranks Highest in a Tie with The Home Depot in Retail Segment

Despite the economic and logistical challenges introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer spending on home improvements and repairs grew more than 3% to nearly $420 billion in 2020.1 One surprising beneficiary of this trend is the window and patio door industry, which is heavily reliant on in-home consultations. According to the J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction Study,SM released today, the industry’s efforts to adjust its business model to accommodate virtual consultation and offer discounts and incentives has helped drive higher customer satisfaction.

“Unlike other areas of the home improvement marketplace, window and patio door sales are often driven by an in-home consultation with experts who can talk consumers through not only their window options, but also provide specific recommendations based on the home layout and design,” said Christina Cooley, director of home intelligence at J.D. Power. “Consistently, we find that manufacturers and retailers that make it easy to comparison shop and provide expert guidance are those that perform best in the study. This past year, they had to adapt, and many did so successfully. A majority—54%—of customers had some form of expert consultation and 11% of those consults were conducted virtually.”

Study Rankings

Renewal by Andersen ranks highest in the manufacturer segment with a score of 886 (on a 1,000-point scale), followed by American Craftsman (878) and Milgard (874).

Renewal by Andersen also ranks highest in the retail segment in a tie with The Home Depot, each with a score of 876. Window World ranks third with a score of 874.

The 2021 U.S. Windows and Patio Doors Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 3,124 customers who purchased windows or patio doors within the previous 12 months. The study was fielded from January through May 2021.
