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.

Dippin’ Dots Delivers Sweet Treats and an Engaging Customer Experience with BigCommerce

Elite Partner Groove Commerce leverages BigCommerce’s modern open SaaS platform to build site that addresses fulfillment challenges and captures the brand’s fun and imaginative spirit

BigCommerce (Nasdaq: BIGC), a leading Open SaaS ecommerce platform for fast-growing and established B2C and B2B brands, today announced the launch of popular frozen treat brand Dippin’ Dots on its platform.

The new site, designed and built by BigCommerce Elite Partner Groove Commerce, combines a fun and engaging customer experience with checkout functionality that ensures the temperature-sensitive products are delivered when the buyer wants them to be.

“A big part of what customers love about Dippin’ Dots – in addition to our delicious ice cream – are the memories they experience while shopping at our physical locations or enjoying the sweet treat at their favorite entertainment venues,” said Dana Knudsen, senior director of marketing at Dippin’ Dots. “These enhancements to our website will allow customers to create new memories by bringing the Dippin’ Dots experience home for parties, gifts and more. With the addition of the new delivery date picker, customers plan ahead, selecting the perfect day for their Dippin’ Dots-inspired event.”

“We really wanted to create a magical experience for customers that reflects the Dippin’ Dots brand,” said Ethan Griffin, CEO at Groove Commerce. “With a customized shipping calendar, bespoke CSS animation and in-depth product information, the new site is both fun to explore and highly user-friendly, whether the visitor is new to Dippin’ Dots or grew up with it.”

But selling ice cream online isn’t as easy as building a website. Dippin’ Dots products have specific and challenging fulfillment constraints. The products must be stored at extremely cold temperatures – even colder than a standard freezer can provide. For ecommerce, the products must be shipped and packed with dry ice to keep it from melting during transport. Then, once the package has been delivered, it must be consumed within 24 hours, making the delivery date essential to the customer experience.

To address the delivery challenge, the Groove team built a customized shipping calendar and date picker integrated into BigCommerce’s optimized one-page checkout. Customers can choose specific delivery dates, view blackout dates and see corresponding shipping options and costs prior to ordering.

“We love to see our partners and merchants teaming up to leverage our open SaaS platform to build ecommerce sites that are not only beautiful to the eye, but feature robust functionality to make them easy for customers to use,” said Marc Ostryniec, chief sales officer at BigCommerce. “What could be better than Birthday Cake Dippin’ Dots’ delivered to your door from a BigCommerce-powered storefront!”

Dippin’ Dots is one of many food and beverage merchants leveraging the BigCommerce platform to drive sales and deliver a winning consumer experience. Others include King Arthur Baking Company, Con’ Olio Oils & Vinegars, Di Bruno Bros., Snap Kitchen and Theo Chocolate.
