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.

Drive First Notice of Loss Efficiency with New Guidewire Marketplace Integration from RiskStream Collaborative

Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) and The Institutes RiskStream Collaborative™, a large blockchain consortium of insurers, announced that RiskStream’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerator for ClaimCenter is now available in the Guidewire Marketplace. With this new integration, Guidewire users can use RiskStream’s RAPID X blockchain application to exchange loss information with other insurers more quickly and accurately.

“A policyholder’s claims experience can highly influence their satisfaction with their insurer. We’ve heard from the market that rapid claims handling, supported by technology, is vital for customer retention and operational excellence,” said Bill Keogh, RiskStream’s Non-Executive Chair. “RiskStream’s RAPID X application, built on the Canopy blockchain platform and now integrated with Guidewire ClaimCenter, streamlines the First Notice of Loss (FNOL) process for insurers to help shorten claims cycle time and enhance the customer experience.”

With RiskStream’s app, insurers can:

  • Quickly, accurately, and securely exchange FNOL data with other consortium members via Canopy, without leaving ClaimCenter;
  • Easily add and update third-party loss data;
  • Access liability determination information; and
  • View a history of records sent to and received from Canopy.

With RiskStream’s technology, FNOL data is shared quickly and directly with peers instead of with data warehouses, reducing vendor related expenses and resource demands. The solution allows insurers to agree on liability early in the FNOL process, saving valuable time and expediting claim resolution leading to increased customer satisfaction.

“We congratulate RiskStream on the publication of its FNOL data sharing app for ClaimCenter,” said Becky Mattick, vice president, Global Solution Alliances, Guidewire. “With RiskStream’s technology, insurers’ customer service representatives no longer need to email or call the other involved insurer to collect loss information. Now, FNOL data is shared accurately, securely, and quickly via Canopy and Guidewire, reducing intake time and lowering the associated costs.”
