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.

Mitigating Effect of Auto Inventory Shortages Imperative to Manufacturer Website Satisfaction, J.D. Power Finds

Porsche and Subaru Websites Rank Highest in Respective Segments

It is no secret that the U.S. auto industry is struggling with low inventory due to chip shortages and supply chain issues. Low inventory is not only affecting dealerships, but also manufacturer websites, according to the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study,SM —Winter, released today. Specifically, 53% of OEM websites saw a satisfaction decline in the feature that helps shoppers find a vehicle.

“Despite things that are out of the manufacturers digital control, like inventory issues, there are some best practices out there that can help mitigate these digital challenges,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “Optimizing the website speed and including things such as waitlists, order when available or even simply stating issues upfront can make a big difference in website satisfaction.”

The J.D. Power U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study is a semiannual study that measures the usefulness of automotive manufacturer websites during the process of shopping for a new vehicle by examining four key measures (in order of importance): information/content; visual appeal; navigation; and speed.

This wave of the study finds that overall satisfaction averages 724 (on a 1,000-point scale) for the premium segment and 711 for the mass market segment.

Study Rankings

Porsche ranks highest among premium manufacturer websites with a score of 746. Lincoln (744) ranks second and Cadillac (743) ranks third.

Subaru ranks highest in the mass market manufacturer website segment with a score of 733. Kia (729) ranks second and Dodge (728) ranks third.

The U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study—Winter, initially released in 1999, is based on responses from 11,150 new-vehicle shoppers who indicate they will be in the market for a new vehicle within the next 24 months. The study was fielded in October-November 2021.
