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 Builds on EVs, Mobility, Connected Vehicles and Consulting with New Hires, Promotions

J.D. Power, a global leader in data analytics and consumer intelligence, today announced staffing changes within its automotive division that include the hiring of Elizabeth Krear as vice president of the new EV (electric vehicle) practice and Jack Dolan as vice president of product quality performance improvement. Long-time J.D. Power executive Dave Sargent is becoming vice president and head of the newly created connected vehicle practice and Kristin Kolodge is being promoted to fill the role vacated by Sargent as vice president and head of auto benchmarking and mobility development.

“The automotive industry is undergoing massive disruptions, and our customers are counting on us to help them make critical business decisions and seize opportunities,” said Doug Betts, president of the automotive division at J.D. Power. “Acquiring and redeploying talented leadership for these critical areas of vehicle electrification and connected vehicle data will help keep us on the leading edge of data analytics.”

Krear comes to J.D. Power from Stellantis, where she was the global head of product planning for Jeep Grand Wagoneer and electrified body-on-frame SUVs and trucks. Her focus was on planning and developing electrified platforms for the EV transition of this most important product family at Stellantis. “Elizabeth’s understanding of what is needed for manufacturers—and what is missing—to make crucial EV decisions will be invaluable in developing products and services to support our customers,” Betts said.

Dolan joins J.D. Power after most recently being chief engineer at Lordstown Motors. Prior to that, he headed up the North American operations for A2Mac1, an automotive technical data benchmarking company. He worked for many years in the engineering department at Stellantis and was the chief engineer for several successful vehicles. “Jack’s experience is extensive,” Betts said. ”This department serves a lot of clients and geographic territory, so Jack will work alongside Geoffrey Mortimer-Lamb to cover it.”

Sargent will lead the development of use cases and products utilizing connected vehicle data to create value for auto manufacturers and other companies inside the automotive space. “Dave’s reputation as one of the most well-known and trusted names in the industry, combined with his diverse knowledge across the entire space, will be a tremendous asset in creating value in this all-new area,” Betts said.

Kolodge is being promoted to a role she understands thoroughly after seven years in the auto quality practice. She created the Tech Experience Index (TXI) StudySM and leads most mobility activities, including the Mobility Confidence Index StudySM. “Kristin’s knowledge of vehicles, technology and benchmarks—and her experience of having been an engineering manager for a manufacturer—makes her uniquely qualified to guide this area of the business,” Betts said.

All four executives will report to Betts in this new structure.
